Great thread
I came here just to ask questions about the 2000 2.7 A6
and this thread schooled me

 

Just purchased a '04 A6 2.7T Q s-line w/ 52k miles...this thread is awesome. Thank you for putting in all the time (years ago).
Going to be doing the APR chip and VAST piggies DP as my first 2 upgrades.

 

I am glad I found this forum I was just about to buy a 2002 with 113K on it. All service records are there,but after reading this thread
I am having second thoughts about signing my name on the dotted line.

 

If your looking at a 98 - 05 a6 look at the new maint. schedule put out by audi in Aug of 2007. every 40,000 mi the Plenum drain needs to be cleaned out also the sunroof drain. If you don't (like me because I had no idea this was an issue) the battery compartment will fill with water leak into the car and destroy your entire computer system. Audi will not pay for the damages of this or replace anything but the drain itself. The reimbursements are no longer being payed out.

 

Lots of helpful information, thanks

Great info! What about when the oil light goes on and the oil temp rises to 130C. The level is fine as I just serviced the car 2000kms ago. What could be the problem?

 

First check oil level.
Then use guage to have oil pressure test to decide if it is problem of mechanical (oil pump) or electrical (sending / guage). Sludge can clog the oil pump as well.
