#615 of 1203 Re: 2005 A6 Airbag light by halofan Dec 21, 2005 (5:41 pm)
Replying to: kgary (Dec 15, 2005 3:38 am) 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.

#617 of 1203 problems right out of the warranty by rappaport Dec 22, 2005 (5:32 pm)
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 Replies to this message: legendman (Jan 17, 2006 3:23 am)
#618 of 1203 Re: 2000 A6 failed emissions-- codes are P1128 and P1130 by jlocascio Dec 24, 2005 (11:46 pm)
Replying to: rpatch (Dec 20, 2005 1:37 pm) 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. Replies to this message: rpatch (Dec 27, 2005 7:17 am)

Replying to: ccusick (Nov 19, 2005 7:20 pm) 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 Replies to this message: marleybarr (Dec 27, 2005 8:17 am)
#620 of 1203 Air Bag Light by legendman Dec 27, 2005 (3:09 am)
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 Replies to this message: kgary (Dec 27, 2005 4:10 am) halofan (Dec 27, 2005 1:38 pm) legendman (Dec 27, 2005 4:52 pm) halofan (Dec 27, 2005 8:47 pm) legendman (Dec 30, 2005 2:36 pm) halofan (Jan 01, 2006 1:13 pm) lcavada (Mar 20, 2006 8:33 am)

Replying to: legendman (Dec 27, 2005 3:09 am) 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.   Kevin

Replying to: jlocascio (Dec 24, 2005 11:46 pm) Thanks for your response. Your analysis of the mass air flow sensor was right on. They replaced it for free, but they are making up for it by selling me tie rod ends, 02 sensors, exhaust temp sensor, and turbo cut off valves. Total about $2k.   My good deal on a used Audi didn't turn out to be such a good deal.   I am having the work done at a dealership. It was convenient and they had the parts, and say they could do it in a day. It is my first trip to the shop with the car, so I wanted it checked thoroughly, but realize that I am probably paying more than at a smaller shop. Any guess what percentage more one pays to a dealership than to a "Euro cars" shop? Is it worth it? Just curious for future reference.

Replying to: barrese (Dec 26, 2005 2:28 pm) I agree. If a salesperson had given me a complete "cradle to grave" seminar to keep my 2000 A6 running properly the last 87,000 miles, I (and everybody else) would never purchase such an automobile and certainly only lease within the warranty period.

Replying to: legendman (Dec 27, 2005 3:09 am) Read my post just up from this one, mine was actually a center seat belt sensor, after repeated trips the dealer was unable to get my car fixed and I am now in the process of having my car replaced by Audi. My advice is to get the car to the dealer right away. They will probably re-set the "fault codes" first hoping that that will make the problem go away. It didn't for me, hopefully it will for you. Take notes about your conversations with your dealer in the event that this is an on-going problem and you have to deal with AoA in the future.   Good Luck.
