That's what I was getting a sense of...you gotta love our disposable society! Maybe I'll buy a nice late 50's something this time!
Did you get your A6 sold?

Well you can't walk away from it. The car is still worth some money. Sounds like a defective N218 pressure control valve. Could also just be very low fluid level but probably not, huh?

Identifying Audi A6 Engine & transmission types by docvox

I have a 1998 A6 Quattro wagon and it appears that there were mid-year changes in engine, transmission and other items. I wish to purchase the correct Bentley service CD and am trying to identify which engine, transmission, steering rack, etc I have. My VIN starts with WAUJC84A8WN and my emissions sticker identifies the car as being in emissions group WADXV02. Can you help?

I have a 1998 A6 Quattro wagon and it appears there were mid-year changes. Both the C4 platform with engines AAH and AFC (2.8L V6 2v) and the C5 platform with engines AHA and ATQ (2.8L V6 5v) were sold as model year 1998. I wish to purchase the correct Bentley service CD and am trying to identify which platform version I have. My VIN starts with WAUJC84A8WN and my emissions sticker identifies the car as being in emissions group WADXV02. Can you help?

I agree with your dialogue. Bought a new 2000 A6 2.7T for $42,400 +TTL in June, 2000. Fortuneately, and at the last minute, bought the extended warranty. This car would have literally bankrupted me if the extended warranty had NOT been purchased. Sold the car to a private party in October, 2006 w/ 99,750 miles for $11,500.00. A drop in value of about 73% over 6 years which in itself is probably about average for a luxury type automobile.The problems over these 6 years included:
 
1.) steering wheel vibration above 60 mph.
2.) steering wheel vibration during braking
3.) leaking air conditioning
4.) warped front brake rotors....replaced 4 times....problem not resolved
5.) purchased my own drilled rotors....solved problem at my expense
6.) noisy heater fan blower motor
7.) climate control module failure
8.) drivers/passenger front window infrastructure replacement
9.) driver's manual door lock failure
10.) central alarm system failure...windows going up/down uncontrolled
11.) oxygen sensor failure
12.) leaking valve cover gaskets
13.) secondary fan cooling motor failure
14.) turn signal module failure
15.) vibration in dash
16.)air bag light stuck on
17.) turbo failure at 95,000 miles.....even with mobil1 changes every 5,000 miles.
18.) leaking rear axle seals
19.) front bumper almost torn off from curb stop due to manufacture defect
20.)paint peeled off lower rocker panels almost from new.
21.)upper/lower tie rod end failure at 60,000 miles.
22.) poor remote key fob operational distance
23.) poor fuel filler neck construction...fuel will gush out if on auto fill.
 
These cars are really a nightmare......totally a lease car that you return in 3 years (under warranty) and never look back. I have never had 1 of these 23 items happen on my 98' TOY camry and don't expect that I will until deep into the 100,000 + miles.

A6 WONT TURN OVER!!! by davreese0506

I get into my car (1998 A6 Quattro) last Wednesday morning and without a problem arrived at school. After a long day, I rushed to my car and-Nothing. It didnt even attempt to turn over...the stater just clicked. I got the car towed and delivered to a shop. Being that it was 8 PM they were closed. Arriving in the morning the shop said it fired right up. They did a battery diagnostic check and it was fine. I picked it up and went along with my week like it was nothing. Today, exactly one week later i got into my car to go to school...no problem. I got in to leave and same exact problem!
 
ANYONE EVER HEAR OF THIS?!?!?!? THANKS!

Audi 1998 A4 ABS/Brake problem by balaji3

I have an 1998 Audi A4. I bought this from a dealer an year ago. It has 76000 miles on it. A month back i saw a problem in which the engine rpm used to shoot really high and the car speed used to go low. when i used to stop and park the car for few mins, the car used to drive normally. this happend couple of times over a period of two months. So, i took it to the mechanic to have it checked and the mechanic told everything was fine. I drove the car and went onto to the freeway and within 5miles my car broke with a major jerk noise and the check engine, brake , abs symbol came up. I was never able to start the vehicle again. The mechanic checked the vehicle and again said everything was fine with the vehicle. Thereafter the car used to drive normally but sometimes used to stop with abs, brake symbol coming up. I took the car to the dealer and he made spend 750$ and replaced a shifter chip in the triptronic unit. This didnt fix the issue. I am still seeing the failure. Also, now i am seeing the airbag symbol flashing. I took it to the dealer again, and he says he doesnt know what the problem is. Has anyone had the same issue? Any suggestions to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.
