You are in the Audi A6 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
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.

Does anyone have any information,..i.e..description of the relays under the driver side dash. Here is a list of the numbers on the top of each relay- 204 213 372 389 392 387 381 267 204 205

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. |

colin123- the starting problem ended up being an electrical problem. The Transmission switch was getting intermittent power. It took a trip to the local shop but it was solved. I also had a problem with the engine slowly overheating. Brought it to the same shop and i was quoted a water pump, timing belt, thermostat, and other "goodies". Brought it to a specialist who charges dirt and did the job (just the thermostat) for 150. Find one of them haha

| I have a 2006 A6 and periodically get the parking brake malfunction message displayed along with a loud warning sound (which keeps repeating). This only happens when I am driving and the cruise control is engaged and has been in use for several hundred miles. I have taken it into service several times. They see the messages recorded in the log but have checked out the parking brake and there are no problems. If I turn off the cruise control then the warning message goes away. Service cannot find the cause of the problem. Has anyone had a similar problem? Does anyone have any suggestions? Could this be a problem with the cruise control? Or with the parking brake sensor? Or the computer? | |
