Replying to: oodmoff (May 02, 2008 9:22 am) I loved the 2004 A6 2.7T (SLine? as they all were at the end?) -- I really loved the 2.7T -- was this the uprated version (more than 250HP?)   I have been very pleased with Audi reliability (except the 2000-2001 rotors -- and 47K is young.   However, IF it does break, it will likely be breathtakingly exepensive if it turns out to be related to the turbo/engine.   I also am a fan of the color combo -- the price, however, at this juncture seems a few thou too high.   Get it down below 19 or 18 and I think you will be fine.   Self insure (keep some $ in reserve for "warranty" purposes and get the balancing taken care of.)
#6833 of 6896 Wrong tires and missing part in a newly purchased vehicle by easynone May 03, 2008 (8:00 am)
I purchased a 2007 Audi A6 new last January from XXX X Audi. TPMS light would come on everytime I start the car. Resetting TPMS didn't help. I called Santa Monica Audi and was told to take the car to any Audi service center.   I took to car to other dealership and was told horrible things. They said TPMS sensors are not installed and tires are not original tires which should be Conti or Michelin. Installed are General Tires.   Can it be possible any dealership will take parts off to keep and replace original tires with lower quality ones? If they really did what should I do? Should I contact Better Business Bureau?   Dealership is in Ca and I live in NJ.

Replying to: easynone (May 03, 2008 8:00 am) If this car was brand new, it should not have general tires. All A6's come usually come with Michelin on Conti as you said.   Go back to the Audi dealer you bought it from and they should replace them.   Only way you may be out of luck is if this car was sold used, and the previous owner changed them out.

Replying to: easynone (May 03, 2008 8:00 am) You say you bought it "new". I'd do a title search to see if it's been owned before. Otherwise ask if it was "executive driven", meaning it was used by the owner or manager of the dealership. In confronting the dealer you bought from, start by talking to the manager. Especially if the car was previously titled and therefore used, and was sold as new, consider having them buy it back from you. At the very least I'd demand factory spec. tires, if that's the only thing you have on them. Explain to them they could face legal action including exposing them for fraud.   Only way you may be out of luck is if this car was sold used, and the previous owner changed them out.   I agree.

Replying to: rjlaero (May 03, 2008 9:38 am) I guess you are right since I found a manual and warranty information for Michelin. Thnx.
#6838 of 6896 Re: Wrong tires and missing part in a newly purchased vehicle [carnaught] by easynone May 17, 2008 (8:43 am)
Replying to: carnaught (May 03, 2008 11:13 am) It was purchased as NEW and initial mileage was 37 when I took over the car. I also went through Carfax research and it was shown as never been registered before. Thank you for your advice and I will start by writing to dealership owner and manager. Thnx.

Replying to: rjlaero (May 03, 2008 9:38 am) ...   Only way you may be out of luck is if this car was sold used, and the previous owner changed them out.   That's not the only way he's out of luck. He said he purchased it in January '07. It's May '08 and he's just now bringing this up?? The dealership is going to lay all the blame on him at this point because so much time has passed that it's easy for them to say he changed out the tires. Though, the tires themselves have no bearing on the TPMS function. Replies to this message: easynone (Jun 01, 2008 7:11 pm)
#6840 of 6896 Stupid question by erickpl May 29, 2008 (5:03 am)
Where are the cabin filters located on a 2005 A6 3.2?   Also, anybody know a good online source for routine maintenance items for Audi vehicles?   Dealer wants nearly 20.00 for 1 NGK sparkplug for it!!!!   -Paul

Replying to: tayl0rd (May 29, 2008 4:51 am) By "last January" I meant Jan 08 not Jan 07. Sorry for confusing you. Thnx.
