Replying to: kgary (Mar 12, 2007 3:07 pm) I am glad somebody was able to post them. I have PDfs of every TSB issued for an 05 4.2. If somebody wants to post them, let me know and I will e-mail them to the "publisher".
#862 of 1212 Re: Ticking sound 06 A6 3.2 [halofan] by lenbroverman Mar 18, 2007 (5:01 pm)
Replying to: halofan (Feb 19, 2007 10:33 am) I have an 2005 A6 which makes a clicking sound at 2500 to 4000 rpms. After 2 years of trying to figure out what it's from the best Audi can tell me is it's heater vent doors opening and closing when heat is being provided to the car's cabin. I don't know if this is your noise but sometimes it comes from the back and most often from the front and sounds as if it's coming from under the dashboard. I'm presently waiting for an Audi rep to contact the service people to tell what can be done. Has any body else encountered this problem? Most people probably don't here it because as I said you need to be over 2500 rpms and unless you drive it in triptonic as I do you probably won't get the engine to those rpms.
#863 of 1212 Advance Key by aveghte Apr 01, 2007 (11:41 pm)
Has the Advanced Key feature worked better for 2007 Audi A6 than for 2005 models?   I saw a lot of posts in 2005 and early 2006 about problems with this feature and my wife is considering ordering a 2007 A6 3.2 quattro with the Technology package.   Also how is the voice feature in the Technology package. Does this allow the driver to control radio, television and navigation and keep their eyes on the road instead of their hands on the MMI controls?

#864 of 1212 2004 A6 2.7 T maintenenance by adeel2 Apr 09, 2007 (7:16 pm)
I have a 2004 Audi A6 with a 48 k miles. I have had no problem with the car so for and I enjoy the drive. I bought the car at 39k miles as a CPO. The factory warranty is ending soon at 50 k miles. I have the Certified Warranty which comes into effect after 50 k miles. It lasts for 2 years or 50k miles, whichever comes first. The certified warranty does not cover wear and tear and some other monor things but covers the main components. I wanted to know about the maintenenace cost of this car in the future. Should I keep it or get rid of it? I have heard of horror stories regarding German cars and maintenance. Does anyone have an estimate regarding the future maintenenace costs? Does anyone have a similir car and have had some experience? Please advise. Thank you.

Replying to: aveghte (Apr 01, 2007 11:41 pm) I own an '05 A6 3.2 and have had no problems whatsoever with my advanced key. I like it very much. It would be better if more things in life were advance key...not having to pull out the keys to get in the car is nice, but when you have to have them out anyway to lock the house or open the office takes away from the beauty of it somewhat...   I don't have voice, so I cannot answer to those questions.

Replying to: aveghte (Apr 01, 2007 11:41 pm) I have had no problems with the advanced key in my 05 4.2. The voice recognition is pretty good, but I tend to use the controls on the steering wheel.

Replying to: aveghte (Apr 01, 2007 11:41 pm) Have an '07 3.2 with advanced key and I'm enjoying technology. Just have to remember to leave key with valet parking or they won't be able to shut off engine.   Use voice feature a lot for nav/radio/phone/CD. Television???????????????? Detail map feature can only be activated through voice.   Rear camera and bluetooth also terrific.   J
#868 of 1212 Help! My latest A6 problem tops them all by kahtrs Apr 11, 2007 (11:05 pm)
Dear Fellow A6 Sufferers, I'd appreciate feedback from anyone in the community. Two days ago, while on the highway commuting on highway (doing about 55 mph), the engine on my 2002 A6 3.0 quattro (97k miles) completely died. External visual inspection shows that the timing belt is frayed (replaced the original with a new one 9 months ago) and the pulley in the front of engine, in front of the valve cover on the driver's side of the V6, is sticking out instead of being flush with the engine block as is normal. My mechanic removed the valve cover and says that for some reason, most of the bolts that hold the pulley in place seem to have come out and are missing (sheared off??? disintergrated????). Does anyone have any knowledge about tihs type of mechanical failure? Is it possible that the new timing belt was somehow installed incorrectly and that, as a result, there were undue stresses on the pulley that eventually caused the bolts holding in place to break? Or, were the bolts themselves somehow worn out, faulty, fatigued???? This is the latest, and potentially the most expensive, of a long list of mechanical woes I've had with my A6. The price I pay for straying from Honda and Toyota? (I hope they'll have me back again when I finally replace the A6, which will be before the end of this year!) Thank you very much!
#869 of 1212 Oil Filter Falls off by herkulesz Apr 12, 2007 (4:57 am)
Unfortunately, had my oil changed at Jiffy Lube. Recently the oil filter fell off while driving causing major engine damage. Jiffy won't take responsibility, insurance company says they won't cover it.   Has anyone had this happen?   Where can you get a quality replace 2.7 engine?   Please help Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 15, 2007 2:41 pm)
#870 of 1212 Considering a 2002 A6 Q 3.0 5A by leftfrank Apr 15, 2007 (10:27 am)
I'm returning a leased 2004 A4 1.8T 6M at the end of this month, and looking at replacements.   I definitely need to buy used - no more monthly payments (kid entering college).   Yesterday I looked at a 2002 A6 3.0 Tiptronic 5A with 71k miles on it from a local used car dealership (they specialize in Audi, BMW and Mercedes). I drove it for maybe 20 minutes - the car drove (and looks) like new. Everything seems to work. It has been obviously impeccably cared for - Carfax had all service records and they were on schedule (2 owners). You wouldn't know it had that many miles on it by looking at the interior or exterior.   The 2002 is a year that Consumer Reports has as not too bad at all in terms of reliability for the A6.   So, finally, my questions: - Is this year A6 pretty good in terms of reliability past 70k miles? - Do I need to go to my Audi dealer for (expensive) service, or can I take it to my local mechanic (who has been very good with my Suburban and Camry needs) for most items? - What other things should I look at on the car before buying it? - Should I consider a 3rd party warranty (the used car dealership offers them) for some length of time?   By the way, I'm also considering a couple of Acuras (TL/TSX).   THANKS!
