This is a great Channel. Most other car reviews comment on brand new cars and say nothing about user complaints which I get because they comment when new cars come out. Since the used car market is as big or bigger than the new car market, your channel is a great help. Keep the vids coming.

Timing belt in the 2.0 TDI is guaranteed for 210.000 km by Audi. Multitronic is rubbish and expensive to repair. Other common fault on the 2.0 TDI is the electronic water pump which fails at about 100.000 km. You will notice it by the yellow engine sign on the board. It costs about 250 euros. Also, another strange thing of the 2.0 TDI (pre facelift) is that in winter, when temperatures are below 0 celsius, the engine will struggle to maintain the heat level at 90 celsius. Mine has 140.000 km and I am satisfied for now :)

Absolutely love your reviews. Please do the "cost reduction" comparison between the C7 and the older C6!

I had a Audi a6 2013 3.0 V6 twinturbo diesel. What a monster of a car, had no issues with it. Will most likely buy another 1 in the future :)

What's your opinion on V8 engines from S/RS models? Are they reliable and what are the issues?

[cosminmoflic]

I would really appreciate a video with the comparison between the C6 and C7. Thank you for all your hard work!

[umarshah]

Do you know when you are going to be doing a comparison video between the C7 & C6?

[filipjugovic]

Owned a bunch of German cars and I have to say, you rly know a lot about cars get straight to the point.

COULD YOU PLEASE UPLOAD THE VIDEO OF THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE A6 C6 and A6 C7 Model? Many thanks in advance! Great videos by the way, thumbs up!

To be honest, the point you have made about MultiTronic transmission it's a stereotype, that all people had from the previous C6. I am myself an owner of C7 3.0tdi 245Qtr and i feel that worse transmission is S-TRONIC than Multi. As long as you service Multi well is very good and reliable gearbox. Whereas S-tronic is good until it crashes they payments can go over 2.000euro. It works perfect gearbox, however to maintain it to work well, its a big challenge.

Hey. I have a 2013 A6 C7 model and there is a very strange sqeeeky house from the passenger side rear suspension area. Any idea what this is and what’s the fix

I own a 2014 Audi A6 TDi 3.0 Quattro with the 8 speed triptronic. Brought it 100k miles on it used. Mint Condition. 106K now. No major issues. Just regular maintenance and oil changes. Solid car! Fun to drive. Lots of torque because it’s diesel and the gas mileage is fantastic. Average around 34-42 highway. Take car of the car, it will take car of you. Love taking long distance trips. Very comfortable and luxurious with the technology included makes it a great car to own and drive.

Hi, what about the timing chain tension problem? is that somthing to be conserned about, have seen/heard about some peoples that have that problem on the 3.0 tdi.

[tbatong]

Goin to buy a 2.0tdi think it have the S-tronic gearbox, do you think its a solid choice? Heard the dual clutch is not reliable? Or do i dont need to worry.
