Default New to Audi


Hello all,

In February 2006, I bought a 2000 A6 2.7T 6sp with 75K for 12.5k. I took it in to Quattro Haus in Newark, NJ to get new timing belt, water pump, etc. (a little early but why not). I decided to upgrade to the APS 91 chip at the same time. Car really drives well with chip and new oil (Mobil 1 0-40). I am getting 28+ MPG (I pull it out of gear going down hills tho). Hoping to keep this car running for a long time.

Mike

Just ran outside and took this, unfortunately it is 1:30AM. Nothing special...

My new pastime is trying to set mileage records. Last tank of Shell V-power 93 got me 29.9mpg!

Nice foot. The timing belt, water pump, etc. was about $1400. They found an oil leak and replaced gaskets in my engine, which cost me about $500. And I got the APR 91 Chip, which cost $600. I wasn't too happy about the cost for the oil leak but the timing belt cost seems to be a good price.
