#1083 of 1201 Re: Windows and Doors can not open [Nnewi] by PandasBamboo Dec 15, 2008 (7:41 pm)
Replying to: Nnewi (Dec 15, 2008 12:46 pm) I had this happen on my 2006 A6 on the rear drivers side and the front drivers side windows ceasing to open. Audi mechanics will tell you that the entire motor in the door needs to be replaced. Its actually an $8.00 part that's plastic. It the crank gear that is plastic and over a period of time will fail. You will have to pay the labor for the repair about 1 hour per door. Good luck.

Replying to: Massboykie (Dec 08, 2008 12:52 pm) I repeat my previous statement about the A6 2.7T being one of the most complicated cars to be repaired on the road today. If you can do some of the repairs yourself, well, of course, that will save loads of cash! Parts prices are unbelievable expensive, and of course, it is a more costly vehicle to operate and maintain than the average Honda civic. Is it worth it....of course...if you want to drive an Audi!

Replying to: Nnewi (Dec 15, 2008 12:46 pm) Had the same problem on a 2000 A6. Problem was the driver's door lock fell apart from the inside and disrupted the alarm system which caused the windows/sunroof to stop operating. Took about 2 weeks to airlift a new lock and key assembly from Germany. Warranty wouldn't cover changing out the ignition key since it was still operating okay. Ended up with w/ 2 different keys....one for the door.....one for the ignition. Cost would have been about $1000.00 to repair if not under extended warranty. Driving these types of cars w/o any warranty is financial suicide!
#1086 of 1201 Help! A6 transmission/power steering pump tale of woe by clueless3 Dec 13, 2008 (8:36 am)
This has been a bad month. 2002 A6 with only 76,000 is three months out of extended warranty. First the power steering pump went out ($1000) and now the dealer is telling me I need a new transmission. Dealer proposes installing a used (60,000 mi) one for $2,600. Is this car a lemon? Should I fight the expired warranty? Any suggestion re: course of action. Or should I just pay up and hope this is it for another 50,000. I've driven this like a little old lady from Pasadena....car has been treated with TLC. Thanx. Replies to this message: fonefixer (Dec 20, 2008 11:38 am) 98AudiA6 (Jan 14, 2009 8:41 am)

Replying to: clueless3 (Dec 13, 2008 8:36 am) Audi says it's "tiptronic" transmission fluid is "lifetime." Don't believe it. All fluids wear out in time. I owned a 2000 A6 and an independent mechanic warned me to have the tiptronic fluid changed every 40,000 miles or so. Yours should almost be on the 2nd fluid change by now. The mechanic told me he sees these cars at 60 to 90,000 miles w/ tranny failure due to worn out fluid. Very bad information from the Audi dealer network.   Probably will be very hard to fight the warranty expiration. Would research very carefully through the various internet services what your particular car might be worth on the retail, private sale, and trade-in market for your area assuming the car in good condition. Then deduct the nearly $4,000 in needed repairs. You will arrive at a close figure to determine whether to spend the $4000 or sell/trade for something more reliable. Personally, after driving Audis for 6+ years, would really go the "something more reliable" route...i. e....Honda, Toyota, Mazda.

Replying to: Diggs814 (Nov 22, 2008 5:08 pm) i'm pretty sure your problem is in the secondary coolant pump, happened to my 03 and there is a bulletin from audi on this problem. I think it should have been a recall

#1090 of 1201 1998 Audi A6 Quatro - tranmission problem by Brooksman Jan 03, 2009 (3:15 pm)
We have a 1998 Audi A6 Quatro, it has 160,000 miles on it. Problem: When the car is started and put into drive - it seems like it goes into gear, but doesn't. The car will free-wheel, but not kick into gear. It can be forced into "default" mode, and the transmission will go into 4th and then take off, but only in 4th. Reverse is no problem. Cannot find information to help troubleshoot this problem. Question: Is the shifting of gears electronic, mechanical or both? Could a bad wiring connection cause this problem?

Replying to: Brooksman (Jan 03, 2009 3:15 pm) Hi. read your post. My 1999 (160,000 miles) audi a6 quattro has similar problem. backs up no problem, no go in forward. I found a site indicating audi trans need fluid and filter changes 30,000 to 60,000 miles. (so I am 2 to 5 changes behind - was originally told trans fluid change was unnessary since there is no dipstick.) But there are drain / fill holes and screen in the auto trans pan. VW may have similar screen as audi. Please let me know what you have found. Thanks. Replies to this message: Brooksman (Jan 10, 2009 12:13 pm)
