Yeah... sad day. My 1997 A6 2.8 quattro died today. I have no idea what the problem is. The starter can't seem to turn the motor.

On a different note, my sunroof gutter got clogged so the passenger side of my car is soaked..
Any one know of any good garages in the Worcester/Boston area?

 

may be, just timing belt broken. Then electronics not allow start the engine.

 

Central Street garage in Natick, MA -- VERY highly recommended.

Where are you located? You should also check out the audiworld New England forum -- lots of good recommendations to be had there (do a search). Also a very active local community that has fairly frequent get togethers (just had one last week).

BTW, check the battery compartment for drain blockage (there are two in there). If those get clogged, it will also overflow the pollen filter and enter the passenger area.

Good luck.

 

So I took it to a few shops... turns out that it needs a whole new engine, but I can't afford to fix it. So I started a site to help me out.

Good luck with it!

 

Good luck. I did a cross post to your website on another forum. Who knows... maybe there's an independently wealthy Audi enthusiast out there who can help you on your way.
