#1176 of 1212 Re: looking to buy 2003 A6 2.7T Quattro? [allmet33] by fonefixer Aug 05, 2009 (6:48 am)
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.

Replying to: allmet33 (Apr 10, 2009 9:26 am) Hey allmet33, My question is a few months after your Q but what the heck. I did a google search on this topic and stumbled on to your question. I was wondering the same thing, i have an '04' 2.7T that i just purchased and it looks exactly as you have described it. I had an '03' A4 about 3 years ago that had the same condition but i never looked into it. Any good responses?   Thx Replies to this message: allmet33 (Aug 07, 2009 10:24 am) naz_a6 (Aug 20, 2009 5:18 am) allmet33 (Aug 20, 2009 10:01 am)

Replying to: naz_a6 (Aug 07, 2009 10:17 am) Naz_a6...   From my understanding, it's a setting that can be changed via computer at the dealer. Does your car have the HID headlights? Replies to this message: naz_a6 (Aug 20, 2009 5:18 am) allmet33 (Aug 20, 2009 10:01 am)

Replying to: golfievet (Jul 03, 2009 8:25 am) I suggest you look at the gas you're using. All gas is not the same, I use Sunoco almost exclusively. I read a couple studies on gas quality and they are at or near the top. My second choice is Mobil. Avoid discount gas. I've had my A6 2.7T (6-speed) for 8 1/2 years. 104K and serviced every 5K. I really like this car with very few problems and I hate to part with it. But I replaced '94 SHO and I will be looking at SHOs again in a month or two.
#1182 of 1212 Engine Problems? by alexyaz Aug 11, 2009 (6:17 am)
Ok I have a 2000 Audi A6 2.7T and recently the engine is not working right. after coming to a stop I will step on the gas and the gears wont get caught to turn the wheels. Instead the engine revs and the car rolls until the the wheels work. I am thinking this can be a transmission problem but I really dont know. Could it also be the timing belt?? please let me know if any of you encountered a problem like this before and if you solved it. Replies to this message: fonefixer (Aug 12, 2009 7:42 am)

Replying to: alexyaz (Aug 11, 2009 6:17 am) sounds like the "tiptronic" 5 speed transmission is slipping. I would have the transmission fluid changed ( on the audi it is special fluid) and see if it improves.

Replying to: alexyaz (Aug 05, 2009 6:18 am) I just called audi to change the transmission fluid on my 2000 A6 2.7T it will cost me $360. but, I guess it is better then replacing the transmission.

Replying to: allmet33 (Aug 07, 2009 10:24 am) Yes, I've got the HID's. Thanks for the reply, I'll be calling my Audi service rep for some additional info. I'll also ask about the trans fluid, no sense in taking any risks.   Thx Replies to this message: allmet33 (Aug 20, 2009 10:01 am)
