2000 A6 failed emissions inspection by rpatch
Dec 20, 2005 (1:37 pm)

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?

ledgendman and liferules ~ Thanks for the information!! That helps a lot...I was searching online for warranty companies but wasn't sure which companies were trustworthy and established. I will check into these suggestions and let you know what I find out.

I drive the same 2000 A6 w/ 87,000 miles, the "check engine light" has come on once---faulty oxygen sensor was replaced. Charged about $200.00.

Update to my on-going saga with my Airbag light. After 4 trips and nearly 25 days without my car in a 9 month period, I received an incredible birthday present from Audi. They are taking my car back and giving me another one! I'm pretty excited. I had been in contact with AoA over the last few days and they knew I was frustrated because there wasn't anything for the dealer left to do. They asked how they could make the situation right and I suggested a replacement vehicle would go a long way toward restoring my confidence in Audi. This was yesterday.
 
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.

Halofan,
 
That's great news! I'm happy to hear that AOA is taking customer satisfaction seriously. This goes a long way in making future buyers more confident in Audi.

problems right out of the warranty by rappaport

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

The Mass Air flow sensor is a likely problem. I had the same
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.

You can have mine, I have had it with my 2006 A6 with about 7,000 miles. they have simply made these things too complicated for their service people to handle. Windows go down by themselves, lights stay on in the auto setting,gas gauge incorrectly calibrated and with all the technology you can't even interface with an ipod.
Never again

Air Bag Light by legendman

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?

I had the same problem a week after I picked up the car. It turned out to be a bad sensor in the rear seat. Several other people have reported the same problem.
