Default Audi a6 - Gearbox to avoid

Dear Members,

I could do with some help, I am looking for a Audi A6, havin ran this idea past one of my friends he mentioned that these cars have a very questionable issue with the gearbox, he could not expand on this further, so i went online and there are many posts and even a website detailing all the issues some of the A6 owners have had and the nightmare costs involved to put this right.

I am looking at Audi a6 2007/2008 onwards and have seen a few i really like, but what do i need to do and keep well away from, if i can have an auto box id like go with it, your views and experiences welcome

thanks

zak

Those model years, referred to as C6, don't really have transmission issues. I would stay away from CVTs which came with front wheel drive cars.

Same as above. Stay away from the CVT transmissions.
