Model history
The Audi A6 in the body of the C5 has always come in two versions: a sedan and a station wagon. If earlier it was considered the generally accepted norm for business class cars, today it is not. The “six”, as amateurs call the Audi A6, has always been different from its eternal rivals from the German trio with a good front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive layout. Just exactly what you need for Russian roads.

So, debuted the Audi A6 in the fall of 1997, already then impressed the experts with its design. But in Russia, the Audi A6 did not deserve such popularity, as in Europe and America. Our country, this model has won gradually.

Что касается Gearbox, то здесь был установлен 6-ступенчатый автомат, а трансмиссия была полноприводной, опять же Кватро.
A sports car that cannot be distinguished from the usual “Eski” - that was the surprise that the manufacturer prepared in late 2007. The Audi A6 RS was distinguished by a 5.2 liter heavy duty turbocharged petrol power unit.
Audi A6 Alrod, built on the basis of all-wheel drive wagon, modification is still the same. She fell in love with our country immediately, rather because of the higher ground clearance, air suspension and thanks to the decorative plastic body kit throughout the circle.

Should I buy a used Audi A6
Practical and durable at the Audi A6 body, made of high quality steel. Aluminum in the Audi A6 are only some of the elements of the body, such as the front fenders and hood. External chrome elements such as the grille and moldings are exposed to rust over time and nothing can be done about it. In addition, parking sensors can fail due to accumulated salt, the price of which is 1900 rubles. LED "dimensions", if burned out over time, may entail the replacement of the entire block headlights, which will cost about 25 thousand rubles. Xenon lamps, which dim over time and are not capable of providing normal lighting, may also be replaced.

TFSI petrol turbo engines consume a lot of oil - 1 liter per 1000 km. But this is not quite accurate data and the level of lubrication must be constantly monitored. The timing chain of the Audi A6 is far from everlasting, especially in six-cylinder engines. Already to the 130 thousandth car mileage chain stretched. Its replacement, which is impossible to carry out without dismantling the engine, will cost 32 thousand rubles.
The timing belt of the four-cylinder Audi A6 with a 2.0 engine is notched and needs to be changed every 120 thousand kilometers. It is obvious that the break of this belt will lead to the failure of the head of the block cost from 55 thousand rubles.
Preferred on this background look old engines MPI, manufactured until 2008. On such modifications of the Audi A6, after 100 thousand kilometers of run, the ignition coils are burned at a price of 1000 rubles and the glands of the timing regulators begin to leak.
Much more reliable and durable, of course, the turbodiesel of this car model. But they also have their drawbacks. After 100 thousand kilometers of run, hydraulic supports fly, at the cost of 6500 rubles each, and the drive of the air intake manifolds turns sour. The price of a new one is from 15 thousand rubles. On the four-cylinder version 2.0, the chain drive is worn out, as a result of which the oil pump fails.
Audi A6 used car review:
If the "Six" is often flooded with poor-quality fuel, then over time, injection nozzles, worth 12.5 thousand rubles each, will surely come into disrepair. Injector pumps may also fail, already by 28 thousand rubles each. The turbine of Audi A6 lives up to 300 thousand km of run if effective preventive maintenance is carried out throughout the entire operational period with tracking of the level of lubricant and amount of coolant.
On the gearbox after the 100,000th run, the pushing chain changes, the price of which is 11 thousand rubles. After the expiration of this time, a BU costing 35 thousand rubles can also be out of service. Every 60 thousand runs need to change the oil in the control unit, a liter of which costs 850 rubles.
Borrowed from the Audi A8 independent suspension durable. But the spring suspension will require serious intervention after 200 thousand kilometers. Changing during this time necessarily racks and stabilizer bushings including shock absorbers as well. On the “Gears” with pneumatic cylinders can keep up to 120 thousand kilometers and we must remember that the front only change in the collection.
