Replying to: jodar (Apr 19, 2005 5:46 am) I bought an 1999 Audi A6 2.8. I had the car for about 3 months and I just recently started to lose engine power. I took it in today and I have to get 1800 dollars worth of repairs. Are the 2.8 lemons??? I hear the 2.8 quattro suck. Why?
#660 of 1203 New Audi owner by kroederer Feb 03, 2006 (6:50 am)
I recently purchased a 2000 Audi A6 2.7T from a very trustworthy person. He said he got the computer test done and it had a bad air pump, so he got it replaced and checked it again, and it turned up with nothing wrong, but when I got it the check engine light was on. I took it to the dealer to get it checked, and they said it was a faulty air pump. I'm not the suavest person when it comes to vehicles, and I was wondering if this is common in the 2000 A6? One more question: It didn't come with any manuals, I asked the person the send them to me, and he said he would, but I haven't got them. A message on the car keeps showing up, and I really don't understand it. It's a circle with a square at the top, I'm not sure what that means. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: kroederer (Feb 03, 2006 6:50 am) I drive the same 2000 A6 2.7T and repalcement of the mass air sensor turned the check engine light off. It is a sensor, not a pump. The circle in the dash sounds like the speed warning indicator, just press in the odometer stub and it should reset.   Make sure you change the oil w/ synthetic, I use Mobil 1 0w-40, it works well. Check all fluids weekly, including oil, brake, power steering, and coolant.You DO NOT want any of the fluid levels in this car to go below minimum levels, this could mean big repair bills. Check your tire pressures and also replace the air filter as well.

Replying to: jbaak (Jan 05, 2006 1:00 pm) I had the same problem on my 1999 A6 Avant. Was blaming faulty bulbs, fuses, etc., until one day stopped at the local car dealer and had my mechanic to pull the whole blinker assembly out. Turned out that the unit has 3 electrodes and one of them was completely burned. I called Audi dealer and was told that I can stop by anytime and buy a new one for under $20.00 I was also told that this is a common problems on these cars. After I bought a new one, I came back and had it replaced. Never had this problem b-4. Good luck!

#664 of 1203 1996 A6 Quattro, Problems with Locks and Alarm system by jlouiss Feb 05, 2006 (11:37 am)
This is a strange problem. I have a 1996 Audi A6 Quattro and have owned it happily for 10 years. When using the keyless entry the horn no longer sounds to indicate the doors have locked. In addition, closing the trunk causes all the door to lock and the security system to activate. (Not fun if your keys are in the ignition!) Also, on the 96 audi, a small red triangle flashes on one of the fog light buttons when the security has been activiated. Strangely, that spot has a yellow triangle which is constantly lit, as if my fog lights are constantly turned on, which they're not. Also, if I push that button it also will lock all the doors and activate the security system!   I have to wonder if this is an indication of another problem like a dying battery. I believe the trunk lock in involved because this yellow indicator light will disappear when the trunk lock is moved into "Position C" which is when the key has the lock in the 2 o'clock position. Unfortunately, the lock cannot remain in this position. Does anyone have any idea what could cause all this? I'm very confused and I want to resolve this before I have a remote starter installed.
#665 of 1203 Re: 2006 A6 3.2, prem + sat, outside mirror auto tilt [liferules] by g_henrys Feb 06, 2006 (12:38 pm)
Replying to: liferules (Jan 19, 2006 8:50 pm) Regarding the seat position memory, if the door is open you just have to hit the button once. It is when the door is closed (running or not) that you have to hold the button down. The reason is for safety, if you are driving and accidently hit a button the seat will not move enough to be an issue. Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Feb 08, 2006 6:25 am)

Replying to: g_henrys (Feb 06, 2006 12:38 pm) That doesn't make a whole lot of sense on Audi's part. Why not just lock the function out when the car is in gear? That's how it works on my car, and I never have to hold the button down. Just press it once and all my personal settings (seat, mirrors, radio presets, adaptive transmission <-(I believe)) load up.
#667 of 1203 Brake Light warning by allblacksr5 Feb 08, 2006 (8:45 pm)
I have a 1999 A6 quattro. The brake light warning came on because my left brake light was out. All other lights worked. I stopped and got a new bulb but the guy at the auto parts place gave me the single purpose bulb that replaces the turn signal and reverse bulb by accident. I put it in and the brake light seemed to work but the warning remained. It switched from the word BRAKE LIGHT to the symbol for light malfunction and back but would not go off. Even worse, it started beeping each time I took my foot off the brake!. I figured out the wrong bulb issue and got the correct bulb, put it in and all lights seem to work (the center mount brake light is on when the headlights are on but I think that is normal)but the warning and beeping continues. Any suggestions? Is there a way to reset the warnings? I love the drive, the looks and the feel off the car but I worry, because of what I have read here, that an apparently simple problem may grow to be a big one.
