You're responding to a post over two years old. A large number of the people who post on Edmunds are hit and run. There are relatively few long-termers, and I don't believe luckylindy is one of them, given that there are 10 posts in the name, and the last time he/she posted was in January of 2007.

But we are always glad to revive older conversations because others may have some input. It doesn't really matter if the original poster is still around or not.
 
Welcome free4all, hope we can answer your questions.

I have had this same issue and it's gotten worse over the past year.. It started with the outter vents and now all of the vents are blowing hot air. I'm not looking forward to a humid Philadelphia summer with no AC. The first mechanic who I took it to couldn't figure it out. If anyone has a solution as to how to fix this, please let me know!! Thanks, John

Hello,
I have an Audi 06 A6 lease with 17k miles. The lease will end on May 25th but the dealer will be able to buy the car from VW Financial and then sell it back to me with $700 off the residual value which is 26,500 so the final purchase price is $25,800 without certifying it. The car is in excellent condition with a couple of dents that could cost $300 to fix.
 
I haven't done the final inspection yet.
 
The car has the technology package but not the navigator. Is it worth buying this car?
 
Thanks.

There is a TSB on this. Here's a paste from a friend's post.

Thanks for the post. I ended up taking the car to the dealer. They replaced the left (one of three) coolant valve and flushed the coolant to remove any deposits (which may have caused the valve to stick???). Expensive, but the air conditioning is working again. Let's hope this is the end of this story.

Are you planning to CPO it?
 
I would.
 
Otherwise, if you know and love the car, this doesn't seem like a bad deal to me -- it is also not exactly an OH WOW deal -- but you will know what you are getting.
 
CPO it and drive off into the sunset.
 
Or, make sure the temptation of the new A6 will not cause you any regrets.
 
I kept my all optioned 2005 A6 to 60,000+ miles and loved it virtually every mile.
 
I now have what may well become my best (of 29) Audis ever -- a 2009 A4 Prestige 2.0T tiptronic, also all optioned. I am, NOW, glad to have it, rather than keeping the 2005 A6.
 
At first I didn't see what all the fuss was about -- but the new A4 is actually "better" than the 2005 A6 in several respects.

Mark: how does the performance and gas mileage of the A4 2.0T compare to the A6?
 
(Sorry if this has been discussed before.)

Have you replaced the battery? I own an '04 and in the owner's manual, there's a section that tells you how to re-program the remote if it should stop working. If either of those don't fix the problem, you may need to go to the Audi dealer and have them look at the remote.
 
Does the remote itself cost $200 or is that with the key? You can order a remote with no key and just have your key switched over to the new remote when it comes in. However, you will have to pay to get the new key re-programmed ($125 here in DC Metro area) and you have to take ALL the keys at one time to get done, not just the new one.
