Why is there not a sticky for other a6 owners with the other engines? And what about service intervals beyond 120k

 

I guess no one else on the A6 side of the forum has a 2.8, 3.0,3.2 or a 4.2 that has over 120k ? Or maybe, they just don't want to be heard......

 

The 2.7T is special because it's turbocharged and you can do a lot more with an engine built for a turbo (and a lot more can go wrong) than with normally aspirated engines - which could barely handle much more than a few PSI (pretty much limited to low pressure superchargers). They're also very popular as opposed to the newish 3.0 and 3.2 engines and the more rare 4.2. I don't know, why isn't the sky green?

*edits, sorry i've changed my wording around a bit

 

Just continue all maintenance at the regular intervals. Your maintenance manual should go to 105k, then extrapolate the intervals from there. TB every 80-90k. Anything else that fails after 105k becomes repairs rather than maintenance. I just turned 166k and she's in the shop for an oil change, cabin filter change, spark plugs, brake fluid flush (all regular maintenance), replace the brake lines with stainless steel (preventive maintenance), and to cut out and replace a leaky exhaust pipe (repairs). Another 14k and it's time for another TB.

 

Thanks for the insight........
