#1169 of 1201 Re: Audi A6 bucking motion [camps] by alexyaz Jul 17, 2009 (7:25 am)
Replying to: camps (May 23, 2002 6:39 pm) Hi camps I have the same problem with my 2000 Audi A6 2.7T. I haven't figured out why the engine bucks like that, but, the mancanic said that my timing belt is about to go. This was about a month and I didn't do anything to the car, not even fix my timing belt yet. However the bucking stopped?! What I did do, is eased the pressure on the gas pedal. I slowly lift my foot off of it and the engine didn't buck.   Does your car's cooling fan ever run when the car is off. I had this happened to me a couple of times and I cant figure out why. the fan is also LOUD. when the car stops at a light everyone looks at my green Audi not because it is cool looking, it is because the fan is running at full speed with the ac off. I had this car for one year and I just want to get rid of it. It is a fast, great handling car, but, it will take all the money out of your wallet.

Two sets of front rotors/pads, turbo went out at 98000 miles, even with mobilone oil changes every 5,000 from new. The car would have bankrupted me w/o the extended warranty plan. Stay away from Audi turbos at all costs! Have plenty of info for anyone considering or driving the 2.7T.
#1171 of 1201 nice trip to audi.. by dm1212 Aug 04, 2009 (6:07 am)
I have an 05 A6 I bought it CPO back in 07. I had a loud popping noise coming from the car. They charged me 2 hours of diagnosing fee's which I thought was covered, at 130 dollars an hour. Turns out MY BERRING'S WERE UNGREASED. They charged me 190 dollars to put grease in them. Not to mention my sunroof motor visor has broken 3 times in 5 months. Also, I had it towed 2 years ago due to a "SOFTWARE UPDATE", the car wouldn't start.   Honestly, the car drives so nice when it isn't in the shop, and Quattro is amazing.   Within the next year I'm going to buy an A5 or an S4, but I hope I get lucky this time.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jul 06, 2009 6:37 am) WRONG.......not changing the audi transmission fluid will result in the "tiptronic" transmission going bad at 70,000 miles+. The fluid breaks down eventually.

Replying to: fonefixer (Aug 04, 2009 9:39 am) That may be so in the 2.7 T, but with the 3.0 a different transmission is used. This is information direct from Audi Corp. I will soon find out what happens around the 70k mile mark as my '04 A6 3.0 Quattro has close to 68k miles on it currently.   Now...I know from what I was told by Audi Corp., if the tranny goes bad due to fluid breakdown...they will be replacing my transmission since everyone affilitated with Audi, that I have spoken to, has told me that the transmission on the 3.0 Quattro does not require transmission servicing because it has lifetime fluid in it. They said if I didn't have the Quattro or if I had a manual transmission...it would be a different story. Again...this is what folks from Audi are saying.

Replying to: allmet33 (Aug 04, 2009 10:30 am) Dude I will deffently get that in writing. You dont want to go to the Audi dealership and find out that you need to make a $3000 repair. Replies to this message: allmet33 (Aug 05, 2009 6:25 am) alexyaz (Aug 19, 2009 7:10 am)

Replying to: alexyaz (Aug 05, 2009 6:18 am) I think you're right about that.

Replying to: allmet33 (Aug 04, 2009 10:30 am) Audi and every other manufacturer are just plain wrong about "lifetime" fluids. All fluids break down eventually. Transmission fluid is transmission fluid, have it changed every 40 to 50,000 miles on the Audi. I now drive a Mazda Cx-7, and have the tranny fluid changed every 20,000 or so. Cheap insurance.

Replying to: fonefixer (Aug 05, 2009 6:48 am) I've questioned the whole "lifetime" fluid thing to be honest, but there's something that is allowing them to say that an stand behind it.   Finding a place around here to change the fluid isn't easy at all. I've gotta '06 Hyundai Azera and I changed the fluid around the 35k miles mark and plan on doing it again very soon as I am at 73k miles now.
