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.

| 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? | |

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 |

i have a 08' A6 w/ 5k mi on it... recently had it in for regular service and software upgrade ; this past weekend MIL light came on an took it back for service at dealership.. gave me some mumbo jumbo bottom line they put an injection cleaner thru and now i have to bring back after driving 60mi ???? Doesn't this sound a little slippery.. the car is practically new, with no problems or noticeable performance issues.

Replying to: chicagotiger (Jun 10, 2009 11:00 am) 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 |

MY advance jey work perfect locking and unlocking the car, but sometime when I push start button the car turns on, but the engine does not turn over. Any ideas? I have to open the door or move the key out of my pocket and it will start.

I have a 1997 Audi A6 which won't start. The problem is that when you turn the key in the ignition all the lights come on and then go out as usual but the engine doesn't turn or starter motor make any sounds. It's as if the ignition has been disconnected from the engine. Also the remote central locking has stopped working. Has anyone come across this problem before??
