evo ti kaj piše z ene strani o slabi strani 2.5tdi + drugih modelih - motorjih - tko na hitr copy-paste:
Tiptronic gearbox lever works wrong way round (forward for upshifts, backwards for downshifts). Three-Star NCAP crash test rating. Reports of heavy oil consumption of 2.4 litre V6. ADAC in Germany reported a lot of other problems with A6 generally, including fuel pump, fuel tank, air-mass meter, wheel bearings, front wishbones, air filter, instruments, heated door mirrors and timing belts. Have had reports of repeated electric window failure, driver's side. Franchised dealer servicing can be expensive. 1.8 20v engines are snapping their timing belts at 70,000 - 80,000 miles and the extensive damage this causes is not repairable. The car will need a replacement engine. 1.8 20Vs also suffering problems with air mass sensors which cost around £200 to replace. All 1.8 20V turbos built from around August 2001 to October 2002 can suffer from failure of one or more of the four ignition coils, which lead to a dispute butween VAG and a supplier and asevere shortage of coils from November 2002 to January 2003. One confirmed report of the unexplained failure of a Multitronic gearbox. Power loss on TDI 90s and 110s over 3,000rpm can be cured by replacing a thin hose that runs from the exhaust, near the turbo, to the ECU. Lock of front passenger door can fail. According to J.A., the fix is to remove 3 screws that hold the door trim on, then remove or stick back the sound insulation inside the door to the outer door skin, making sure that none is jammed in the lock mechanism. In 95% of cases the door lock will now lock and un lock on demand. Total cost 15 minutes time. On 2.7Ts, failure of the Bosch air mass meter can lead to failure of the Tiptronic autobox, which costs £4,681 to £5,750 to replace.

Colin Stone reports, "Audi S6 new headlamp on delivery (water ingress) new windscreen in first week, (water ingress again) two punctures on consecutive days at three weeks, (trailered home as no tyres available in England, new tiptronic transmission at 28K."
What to Watch Out For
Audi dealer service history. Accident damage repaired with non-galvanised panels or with bad welds which can rust. Timing belt of 1.8 20v needs changing before4 years or 60k miles (whichever comes first) and tensdioner and timing belt driven waterpump at the same time. If the drains for the ventilation plenum chamber get blocked with leaves water will have nowhere to go except into the car where it can cause electrical and electronic problems.

sicer sem vozil 3.0tdi z avtomatskim menjalnikom in z tiptronicom in mi je stvar odlična za vozit, čeprav sem večinoma imel samo avtomatski menjalnik "ON" ker si imel desno roko non stop prosto heheheh
sicer imajo 2.5tdi zelo slabo odmično gred tako da če že kupuješ kupi ali 1.9tdi ali pa že novejši model 2.0 tdi
