| I have a 1997 A6 quattro. The front passenger window has started to lower randomly on its own. It may go down an inch or all the way down. Sometimes you can't roll it up. Is there a common cause for this issue? | |

If I were to do it again, I would not buy an Audi. After 31k miles the transmission on my A6 went (believe me that is an expensive repair). Many of the above posters who are experiencing vibrating and/or shudders, beware as that is the warning signal I first experienced before it deteriorated to this. I repeatedly brought it to the dealer and they never could find anything, until my car was out of warranty, of course. I regularly service my Audi and treat it like a baby. I would never buy such a poorly made and expensive car again.

Replying to: ezhfjs (Jul 02, 2007 5:27 pm) If this is true, I would certainly talk to AOA about this and see if an audi specialist can help you. If you have documentation of bringing it in for problems that eventually were found to be the transmission, they would have no recourse but to pay for the new transmission. As I said, this is incredibly odd to have the transmission fail at 31,000 miles, and your car certainly is an anomaly to the standard quality of the brand. |

I own a 1997 A6 quattro with 115k miles. It's been sitting in my garage since last April and the battery has died. I can install the new battery but the radio will be in SAFE mode. I don't have the radio car with the code. Is there any way to reset the radio without going back to a dealer? There is no Audi dealer anywhere near Poughkeepsie. Last time I needed an Audi dealer I went to the one in Manhattan and they ripped me off big time. Thanks, Mike P.

I brought my car to the dealer because after counting down miles the SERVICE! indicator came on. This indicator is never correct but I wanted the message to go away. The dealer confirmed that I wasn't due for service for another 5K miles so he said that the indicator would be reset. After the "service" I made a couple of short trips and the SERVICE! indicator came back on. I called the service advisor and he said that since I was more than half-way to needing service, this is perfectly normal. In other words, my car will need service in 5 months (at the rate I drive) so I'm reminded of this practically every time I put the car into Drive. I called Audi customer service and the rep there concurred with this. I'll mark it on my calendar for December. Wait, the lease is up in December. UGH.
