Replying to: sobrokenow (Dec 18, 2005 9:11 am) I think that down deep you already know the answer. This car is trouble. Walk away from this one; better yet, run! I doubt that I would buy a used Audi that was more than 3 or 4 years old, and then only with a solid warranty attached. I am sure that there are better cars out there. Keep searching ... you'll find one. |

I took my new to me 2000 A6 to be inspected today. The check engine light is on and the test came back with 2 trouble codes reported. The codes are P1128 and P1130. I found a code explanation on the web and it says that they are "Long Term Fuel Trim mult.,Bank1 System too Lean" and Long Term Fuel Trim mult.,Bank2 System too Lean. I have an appointment to have Audi take a look and hopefully fix. Does anyone know anything about this (these) issues? Expensive? Difficult?

Replying to: kgary (Dec 15, 2005 3:38 am) Today, I got the good news. Obviously, Audi stepped up and made a commitment to me to make me a satisfied customer. The deal should be done, that is, I can choose my replacement and have it delivered in mid-Jan. A couple of words of advice when dealing with Audi. 1. Be professional, if you are angry, don't show it, I think they'd have told me to pound sand if I'd have started yelling at them, then this thing would have taken much longer with lawyers etc...they didn't HAVE to do this right away like this, this could have been a dog fight. 2. I told them how much I love my Audi, and do! And how much I just wanted it to be right. They concurred and told me that they wanted to make me a satisfied customer since this is my first Audi. 3. I told them I wanted to be a loyal customer and wasn't interested in taking the money and buying a competitor. Now obviously, they can't buy back everybody's car, but I was happy to see them make a strong commitment to me about what Audi is about and trying to do with their new models. So that's it, a happy ending so far. Since I get an 06, I've noticed some option packages have changed which I should be getting a little more car for about the same money.

Anyone have any advice for me. I am livid. I love Audis .This is my sixth(A6) and I was waiting for my new lease to arrive this week. I was 3,000 miles over the 50,000 warranty, never had a problem and had all regular maintenance, when I broke down. The dealer says its a $6000 repair bill in order to turn in the car. First they said it was the fuel pump,Now it is also the timing chain and they have to rebuild all six cylindrer heads. My research says that they don't even recommend looking at timing belts till 90,000. The dealer won't budge and I have lodged my complaints with Audi of America. They say they will get back to me on Tuesday! ANY thoughts? PLUs they have a $500 deposit on the next lease

Replying to: rpatch (Dec 20, 2005 1:37 pm) error codes. If the vehicle is under the emissions warranty limit ( 70K or 80K miles depending upon who you talk to) you wont have to worry. If not, the repair expense could exceed $350. Physically replacing the part is simple, but it needs to be tuned to the on-board electronics and requires about 1 hr labor at a dealership.

After driving some passengers to the airport today, I noticed the red Air Bag warning light illuminate on the central dashboard display, and it is staying lit. Anybody else had a similar issue come up and if so how was it resolved? 2005 Audi A6 3.2 |
