Gentlemen- I noticed the same thing. For a time I was a prospective purchaser of an '07 A6 (since bought it) and made a few posts, which didn't get much response. I do remember one fellow saying this was a forum for "poor" (his words not mine) owners of used Audi's. Now you're indicating that since the newer C6 models go for $32K plus, we can't post here. WTH. We can enjoy these fine vehciles as much as the next guy, so come on all you C6-ers, let's start posting!

It is about understanding your car, and especially German cars, as they are not American. They are more than a mechanical piece of steel, they are piece of art. It's like falling in love...you want to understand it from inside-out.


I could not say anything better,that rocks

i personnaly think that people that purchase expensive cars such as these, dont want to bother getting dirty.... Me personally I hate when my cars break down, but love the feeling I get when I fix it!!!!!  Yeah, i can afford to buy a new car, or take it to the dealer when something happens, but I dont.... I rather do what every MAN in my family does.... fix it.  I work in a business environment, and you should see peoples eyes grow when i tell told them I had to basically remove the top half of the engine to get to the starter on my Caddilac Deville northstar.  Im sure most of you have had the same.  those that cant fix there own car  IMO are prissy guys who never had anyone show them the basic man things.  I have had many cars, and have fixed them all, from caddyies, olds, buick, nissan toyota, and now audi.  the one comment that goes on alot here is "if you cant afford it you shouldnt buy it"  I hate that mentality that the Audi forums have... NEVER happened at cadillac.... We were all there to HELP!!!!!!  whether its c5,c6

I actually like to chime in and help others diagnose their problems,,,, and if you cant do the same, you shouldnt join these forums, take it to the stealer!!! and let us help each other with out those negative comments

Maybe thats why you dont here from the newer car drivers.... They may think they are to good for us, and rather give their money to someone else, and not help others

I didn't mean you have to have snap on tools, i mean you have to have special made audi factory tools like a $20,000 table jack to lower the entire engine and tranny together, or factory engine support tool, or countless other tools that audi special makes so we can't work on them as easilly.
Craftsman and Snap on are roughly the same, the quality is just different.
