Replying to: audiluvblues (Aug 10, 2008 6:43 am) I would contact Continental about this problem. I don't think it is terribly dangerous but one never knows. You might get some kind of pro-rated settlement out of the deal if you handle it right. The dealer will probably just blow you off and refer you to the tire manufacturer, although a competent dealer will at least help you in the process. You might also check to see if your insurance covers this as some kind of road hazard incident. However, generally it is not such a great idea to make a claim under $1,500 or so. |

Hi , My Audi , 2006 A6 3.2 Quattro is going off lease this December. (under 30,000 miles) I absolutely LOVE this car and have had ZERO problems with it. The issue at hand is ; Would it be a wise choice to buy this vehicle for the residual of around $24,000? It will have a full year left on the Audi (all-inclusive) Warranty. I have mixed feelings because of some horror stories I read here about high maintenance and repair costs. I was considering a extended warranty for 5 yrs and 85,000 miles (bumper to bumper) but they run around $3000+. Can anyone enlighten me ?

| Well I have a 2005 A6 that purchased off lease and I am happy with the decision. Make sure you work through your dealer to get the free maintenance extended and get the overall warranty extended. It will add a few grand to the purchase price but it mitigates the risk of a major repair expense down the road. Supposedly the extended maintenance agreement through audi leasing is different than what the dealer can offer so make sure you speak to your dealer. Also, check the market price versus the residual price. the market is softer and you may have an opportunity to get a better price. | |

Replying to: bigjer2 (Aug 14, 2008 5:14 am) audi just lowered the msrp on all remaining 2008 A6's by $5000 because of the just announced "slightly" redesigned A6 for 2009. check out the current pricing for 2006 A6 CPO vehicles for sale today that are similarly configured with low mileage, then check the price again in december, it can only go down.

I just brought my "dream" car a month ago with 81,000 miles. About two weeks it suddenly shut down while I was in a parking deck, thank God. The MIL and ESP lights came on and the car sputtered/died/revved up on its own while in traffic for the next 30 minutes. Suddenly the lights went off and the car functioned beautifully. Two weeks later, the same problem. My local Audi dealer couldn't find the problem, but PepBoys and a local Audi specialist found the mass airflow sensor and camshaft position sensor faulty. I've seen where others have had the same problem. Does ANYONE know what it could possibly be before I sink money into it? Thanks.

My A6 has been sitting in my yard unused for 2 years. I started it yesterday, it runs OK but a little rough. I can't get the gears shift to get out of park. I pressed on the brake and still can't get it out of park. It feels locked and there is no give to the lever. I wonder if there is an override someplace because the battery was dead for so long and the new battery may have kicked in some protector???? All the dealers or repair shops answer the same way. """" Bring the car in"""""". Any ideas before the repairshop gets it?

Replying to: toadhollow (Aug 27, 2008 5:15 pm)  Might be the Shift Lock Solenoid. I don't know if you want to tackle this without a book. the solenoid looks in a photo like a small white thing under the shifter/console when you remove it. You might consult your owner's manual for the location of a small hole to temporarily insert a screwdriver or key to release the shift lever. Most cars have this somewhere. 5 Speed Automatic 01V Shift Lock Solenoid Switch, removing and installing Removing * Remove shift mechanism. * Remove stop buffer from cable lever. * Shift to Tiptronic position and remove frame. * Move selector lever to "2". * Disengage lever for lock cable by lifting it from its mounting and remove from mounting bracket. * Press out bolt for locking pawl using drift. * Remove shift lock solenoid switch together with locking pawl upward. Installing * Move selector lever to "2". * Install shift lock solenoid switch together with locking pawl from above into mounting bracket. * Carefully drive in bolt for locking pawl. * Check engagement of locking pawl in "P" and "N" of selector lever using a screwdriver. * Insert locking pawl into mounting bracket and lock it by feel in both mountings. * Check locking function of locking pawl: Locking pawl must engage in shift lever position "P" and must lock the selector lever. * Install frame on mounting bracket (ribbed side must face up) and install stop buffer in cable lever. * Install shift mechanism.
