Well today was the last time taking my 2.7t out for a spin. I just arrived in Chicago for school and might never drive the a6 again. Needless to say I'm fairly bummed about the whole thing. I donated my car to my step brother with hopes to get a sweet b5 s4 this summer.

To make it even harder my last drive with the car it burst a TBB or other hose causing a boost leak. I tried to hammer it on the highway, but at 4k it would just woosh out air. The RPMs would not climb and the car would shudder when you let off it... Anyway just though I would let you guys know.

 

Bummer... Hey look on the bright side... You go to school, get a nice degree, then a nicer job... and supercharged 4.2, here it comes!

 

Sorry to hear but soon yuo'l be big time and driving the RS6 or some other German beast!
Donated??? as in gave it away or sold it cheap?
I wish I was your step bro!

 

sorry to hear... good luck in your future travels. I may be following you soon, I just plopped down 3k for a new torque converter. if that doesn't work out then i'll b TRAPPED!!

 

better be a level10 TC

 

I don't know about that company.. bullet proof ay? I just got a "stock" replacement.

if anyone has any info re: torque converters on the A6 please do tell. I read every thread on this issue... apparently this is a common problem on the A6.. probably something that should be on the sticky.
