05 CPO A6 by ipod_nano

Hi all,
 
Finally made the plunge and purchased a CPO 05 A6 w/ 45k miles on it. While I have to admit that I am an avid BMW fan, I thought it would be nice to explore the other side and so far like it a lot.
 
That said, I have a few questions:
 
1- 05's include audicare, is there anything I should expect after 45k that is covered(unfortunately I did not receive a service manual, just owners + MMI)
2- It seems as if every 5-7 or so cold-starts it seems VERY rough but then smooth's itself out after 30 seconds or so. Anyone experience this type of start?
3-Checked the oil and it seemed a bit dark. Dealer said it's policy to change oil for every CPO(during inspection/cert) but does audi oil have a different color(sounds like a stupid ques.)
4-Anyone change their own oil on a C6 A6? Any tips? how to remove the skid/plate cover & where to access oil filter.
 
Thanx in advance.

Audi A6 Volt meter question by bremerdc
Aug 01, 2008 (12:18 pm)

I have a 99 A6 Quattro sedan. Lately, when the car is idling, I notice the volt meter kind of 'going crazy' when I have a couple of devices running at the same time (A/C, stereo, headlights, etc). It bounces between 12 and 15 volts. When the car is driving along, it seems to be fine. Any idea where to start? Battery? Alternator? Voltage regulator?
 
Thanks in advance.

My 96 A6 Quatro was doing the same and it was because the batery was to small, put a new with the right zise and problem fixed, this happened specially when I used the A/C.

MY 95 A6 QUATTRO, did some thing like it when I changed some fuses and they could not figured out at the transmission place, then I disconnected the (-) terminal of the battery for a couple of minutes and when I connected it back on again it reset ed some thing and the car started shifting normally again, I tried this about 3 times and it worked the same all 3 times, I have not had any problem again!!!

98 Audi A6 Quattro maintenance/transmission by mairlou
Aug 08, 2008 (9:40 pm)

I am new to this website and awhile ago I put a post on about questions/problems I now have with my audi;I think I listed it wrong since not showing up. When I put the car in drive and go it feels as if my emergency brake is on or something in the back wheels won't let me go forward without jerking. Someone told me that I may need to change or add transmission fluid which may be correct since we cannot locate the place to put the fluid (lack of dipstick).Does anyone have any ideas on this problem I am having? Also, where can I get a maintenance book for my vehicle.I hope someone can help me out since I would like to know is it work putting money into or not.

I have a 1999 Audi A6 and I was told by my Audi mechanic that the transmission fluid/filter can only be changed by removing the transmission casing and adding fluid. You should be able to find a maintenance book at a site called partstrain.com or on ebay.

This is often referred to as "pinch shock" and is probably due to impact damage. Sometimes, or so I've been told, it can also be caused by a shifting belt in the tire.
 
I would contact Continental about this problem. I don't think it is terribly dangerous but one never knows. You might get some kind of pro-rated settlement out of the deal if you handle it right. The dealer will probably just blow you off and refer you to the tire manufacturer, although a competent dealer will at least help you in the process. You might also check to see if your insurance covers this as some kind of road hazard incident. However, generally it is not such a great idea to make a claim under $1,500 or so.
