Re: 2006 a6...wise to buy it off lease? [loggie] by erickpl

If you are buying off lease, get the maintenance contract and/or extended warranty. AND make sure you know what is covered. Things like spark plugs run 20.00 each from the dealer and 130+ for front pads. Maintenance will add up QUICK if you're not careful. Some maint. warranties cover wear/tear like brakes and wipers. Some don't.

I have the same exact problem in my 99 A6.

Had a comparable problem in my 2002 BMW 325xi. Turns out the problem was a cluster controller unit failure (mainly a dashboard computer issue).
 
May be something similar here for your 99 CVT.

Oil Light Blinks Post Ignition for 45 Seconds by a0kia

I had a head cover gasket leak which resulted in a light that says "OIL" to blink for up to 1 minutes every time I turned the car on. The light would go away and be replaced with the regular odometer reading every time. I had the gasket replaced and the leak stopped, but the OIL lamp still blinks every time I turn on the engine. I would appreciate any advice on how to reset the light.
Thanks.

2002 Audi A6 Quatro by rcrocker

I have a 2002 A6 that has either blown head gaskets on both banks or a combination of blown gaskets and cracked heads. Has anyone had experiance repairing this with products like "Thermagasket". Or is the repair easily done yourself with a repair manual? Shop estimates range from $1900 to $5000 to repair.

Nothing in a can is going to save you I'm very sorry to say, and it's not a very easy repair DIY either. Of course I don't know your skill level with tools, mechanicals, etc.
 
RE: Flickering oil light -- I believe on the A6 there is a high rpm oil light and a low rpm oil light, so I'd suspect a bad sensor. You don't have the 1.8T engine so sludge should not be an issue for you.

$950.00?!?!?!?
 
If you truly just need the two cv boots replaced, it should not cost you anywhere near that amount. Even if you needed both of the axles replaced as well, that would still be very expensive.
 
A lot of these repairs you can get done from repair shops that specialize in Bosch/OEM parts. I own a 2001 A6 2.7T with almost 140,000 miles on it. I had both of the front cv axles and boots replaced for just under $600. I'm pretty sure that the boot itself is like a $30 part.
