MY A6 CAUGHT FIRE.... 10 minutes after it was bought
 

MAN today was a TERRIBLE DAY. I got the Audi A6 that I was looking at. drove it and looked at it.... signed all the papers
paid for it, then we (the dealer, my friend, and myself) went to get temp tags from an independent agency.... on the way home
smoke starts rising from the dash, immediately pulling over and seeing flames we get out...


SO NOW THIS CAR IS IN MY NAME AND I HAVE TO CLAIM IT....


sux

RE: MY A6 CAUGHT FIRE.... 10 minutes after it was bought
 

Sorry to hear that man. BTW, did you purchase that warranty that you were looking into??

RE: MY A6 CAUGHT FIRE.... 10 minutes after it was bought
 

not yet... I had 10 days after the purchase to do this....

good news is that the seller fells really bad and wants to make up for this bad transaction....

so hes offering to give me another a6, with 30K less miles....

we will see what happens when the insurance company contacts me

hopefully everything is going to be cool
sorry man

RE: MY A6 CAUGHT FIRE.... 10 minutes after it was bought
 

There was a recall on the a6 to prevent the headlight harness from shorting out and causing a fire. May want to check and see if this was performed or whether it was performed correctly.

RE: MY A6 CAUGHT FIRE.... 10 minutes after it was bought
 

Sorry to hear. Call Audi USA giving them the vin they will be able to verify if the recall noted previously was done.

RE: MY A6 CAUGHT FIRE.... 10 minutes after it was bought
 

I did call audi and asked them about its history and they told me that the car was in for recall checks didnt specify what checks though
...

but do you know when that recall came out? this way I know if and when the check was done
