Replying to: erickpl (Sep 23, 2008 12:41 pm) Thank you for your response.......... Here goes.... Bought the car with 46k miles. Car has 48k miles and had the following problems: Hazard switch kept falling out of dash - replaced Right B-Pillar AC vent not blowing - replaced http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkG60oRDmmQ - that was the cold start noise I was hearing. That was the beginning of my woes. Initial dealer I bought it from, I will keep them unnamed at this point, stated they could not fix that problem because it did not trip a computer fault. Mind you, they reproduced that sound, even in my presence. Their conclusion - wait till the part breaks so they can replace it. 70mph on the highway and THAT part breaks, I can't say that would be a nice thought. None-the-less that is what they told me. Brought it back to that dealer at least 5 times when the noise was getting worse and more frequent, they told me the same thing. Frustration doesn't begin to describe my feelings at that time. Brought it to another dealer, they also could not trip any computer faults. Difference here? They told me they needed to keep the car overnight to reproduce the sound and single out the part that was causing the problem. They found a hole in the exhaust manifold(somewhere) which was caused by rust. Replaced that part which fixed THAT noise, total cost $2,000+ which would not have been covered by CPO, 2k more miles and I would have had to foot the bill. Now, with that fixed they heard another noise which was attributed to a worn timing chain tensioner? My car is on lifts, engine and tranny out. Can't imagine the cost of parts and labor on this. So far I am very pleased with this dealer as they are at least trying to fix the problem. Oh yeah, my bluetooth is working on/off. Every 10 or so connects I get a "telephone notes" screen on the MMI display and lose entire control over the telephone. I hope this dealer at least updates my MMI which would hopefully fix the issue. Suspension is VERY noise over rough roads. Car lurches in second gear at about 15mph when I ease of the accelerator. That car is beautiful, is very solid and is very stable at +60mph. If all of these issues are resolved and no other appear, I would be a very happy customer as this is my first venture into the 4 ring world. I am not trying to cause any wars or anything but, I have had 3 BMW's, 1 - 335i(52k miles), 1 328ci(82k miles sold), M5 (62k miles) with not 1 issue. |

| Has anyone changed the dash lights in an A6? Most of mine have burnt out and it is getting hard to see the speedo at night. Is this a hard project since I know Audi doesn't make anything simple??? | |

Hi I have a 1996 Audi A6 that I had jut bought and I observed that the transmission fluid (Hydrolic fluid) in the resivore tank is sitting just below the low mark on the tank. As soon as I take off even after letting it warm up for about 10 minutes it still shifts out of first gear in the high RPMS. But then after about driving a block or so it shifts normal. Is there anyone that has the same problem or has any insight on the problem? Thanks Joe
