I have been hankering after a change of car for a few weeks now. I have this urge once a year or so!!
I narrowed it down to an Audi A6 3.0 Quattro, the Lemans ones are fully loaded, I was looking to replicate a simular car to my E60 530i, but a turbo diesel this time, and a car thet I could get off the drive in winter. So the 3.0 TDI Quattro ticked all the boxes.
I registered on a VAG forum at lunchtime and have spent all afternoon reading up on the said model.
Well......I am now very and truly disapointed. The Audi's reliability is not what I expected.
I will not be buying an A6 in a rush.
The word WOEFULL springs to mind. The E53 sounds a much better bet than an Audi. My wife has an A4 Cab, 2007 1.8 T, thats been fine. Hence my interest in getting an Audi next time.
I would be interested to hear of anyone who has experience in running a 3.0TDI A6

my mates had an a6, 4.2 quattro for 2 years now and thats never missed a beat or been any trouble, its an 05 i think, no experience on the diesel though.

Hi Horizon. I ran a 2010 plate of the car your after for 2.5 yrs as a fleet car. It went back with 131k on the clock. It never missed a beat. The best car I've had in a long time. As long as you have a FASH you won't have any problems. I hammered mine up and down the motorway. PM me if you need anymore info.


X5 4.4 Sport

My old man has the A4 version of that engine

No probs
