#1141 of 1201 Headlight adjustment??? by allmet33 Apr 22, 2009 (5:52 am)
Does anyone know if the HID headlights can be adjusted at all? I've got an '04 A6 Quattro and the light on the driver's side seems to have a slighly lower aim than the passenger side light. Can the adjustment be made, if so...how???   Mike
#1142 of 1201 Water Leak on a 96 A6 quatro wagon 2.8 V6 by epicklein22 Apr 22, 2009 (9:34 am)
So my A6 wagon has been developing a small coolant leak over the last few weeks. It has just been draining the overflow tank and the car has been running fine. I tried a bottle of Bars leak stop and that worked, but only for a few hundred miles. So yesterday I decided to dig into and fix it. I thought it might be a metal tube that runs across the front of the engine. So I rerouted it around the metal tube and filled it up. Still have the leak. So after further investigation, the fluid is coming from behind the belts and pulleys and I can not see exactly where. Now my dad thought it could be the water pump, but we had a hard time finding that too. So could someone point me in the right direction to find this leak? Could you tell me what I would find behind the belts and pulleys? Where is the water pump? Anybody got a parts diagram they can send me? The car has been running fine at normal temperature, so I think the block is fine as of right now, but the leak did get a lot worse as I was driving home yesterday (of course on the same day I was gonna fix it). In advance, Thanks for the responses! I need them. Replies to this message: kirby2010 (Apr 23, 2009 4:28 am) soapsuds (Apr 26, 2009 8:55 am)

Replying to: epicklein22 (Apr 22, 2009 9:34 am) That sounds like an auxiliary coolant pump. Not too long ago someone else wrote about it. I responded with my experience on my A6 2.7T. The car ran great but I had a small coolant leak. I don't know where it is though. I've only opened the hood of the car twice in 8 years. It was an $800 service charge at the dealer.

Replying to: epicklein22 (Apr 22, 2009 9:34 am) I have the same problem/same location. Did you find where yours is leaking? Please let me know. Thanks
#1145 of 1201 To flush or not to flush, that is the ??? by allmet33 Apr 29, 2009 (10:30 am)
I took my '04 A6 3.0 Quattro to the dealer to get the oil changed. I opted for the synthetic and the service tech informed me that my next oil change would be in 10k miles...I'm cool with that. I asked him about servicing the transmission and he then informed me that they don't do anything with the transmission as it has a lifetime fluid in it. Every car I've owned, I've had to serivce the transmission every 30-50k miles for obvious reasons. Should I listen to what the service tech is telling me and leave it alone or should I take it someplace that will flush and fill the transmission? If I do the latter, what type of fluid should I purchase for the transmission?

#1147 of 1201 2001 Audi A6 power steering problem by ymote Jun 05, 2009 (11:39 pm)
Hi,   My 2001 Audi A6 has power steering issue. When the car is parked with outside temperature under 60F for a night, the second morning the power steering is very heavy. I have to drive it for a while and restart the engine to get back the smooth steering. If I just drive it without restarting the engine, it won't get better. Looks like a sensor issue. Is anybody having the same issue? How can I fix it. Thanks.   -- Yue

Replying to: chicagotiger (Jun 10, 2009 11:00 am) I would like to suggest to you that you keep every piece of paper on your car , never leave dealership with out all paper work that shows what they have done , and be sure that you take a loaner car , never not take a loaner   i hope that this is a isolated problem , but i doubt it and not to make you have a sleep less night , but see what your Lemon Law are in your state ,   i been there and sorry to say it was a real pain but my only mistake was for 45 days that my car sat waiting on a Audi Tech to come to fix it i did not take a loaner , that plays a part of paper trail , and there is nothing about audi and customer care   good luck
