NOTE: I have 7 videos of the car uploaded on YouTube but eBay won't allow me to list them in this description, please email me at iancu_b@yahoo.com or text me at 267-984-3579 and I will send you the links to them.
This was my wife's car, we bought it a bit over a year ago with 159,xxx miles and just turned 170,000. The timing belt/water pump/thermostat/tensioners and rollers were replaced at 115,000 miles and will be due again at 220,000. I replaced the valve cover gaskets, cam plugs, complete PCV system, injectors(4 holes updated red tops), fuel, air and pollen filter, spark plugs(NGK Iridiums good for 100,000 miles), a front axle, brakes, Interstate battery, vacuum lines,coolant flush, brake flush, transmission fluid and filter replaced,etc. I swapped a complete two-tone Allroad interior including door panels with the rear window shades....original interior was brown, I didn't like that very much. I also replaced front shocks, lower and upper control arms, I mounted an S4 thicker sway bar and end links, the rear sway bar is from a Sport model A6 with the V8 4.2. The car was very reliable and dependable, we had zero issues with it. Very safe (6 airbags) and fits a car seat in the back easily. Baby stroller, pack'n'play, you name it....it fits. Back rest folds down to increase cargo space. BOSE stereo, heated seats(front and rear), power everything.....this car was $46,000 in 1999, you get the idea. Recently the transmission started making noise, it drives fine, has forward and reverse but sounds like a bad power steering pump. It shifts fine and does not slip yet but I do not recommend driving it. If the transmission is still salvageable please consider towing it. I drove it around the block to shoot some videos and once in a while I'll drive it a mile or two just to get the fluids running and charge the battery but I do not recommend driving it long distance. I did not take it on the highway nor do I recommend that. The car has been pretty much sitting since winter, I bought an S6 Avant and an Allroad for my wife so needless to say we won't be fixing the A6 but rather part with it and move on. The car had PA inspection until the end of February 2014 and (assuming the transmission doesn't quit completely or gets fixed) it will need a new windshield to pass again, current one did not survive this winter. UnionAutoGlass quoted me $190 installed and they come to your house, other quotes were in the $200 range. There are no warning lights on the dash, no check engine light and no codes in the systems. The brakes are rusty from sitting and the headliner is starting to sag. KBB for this car in FAIR condition is $3,393.....I have a whole lot more into the car and willing to take a reasonable loss on it. You could part it out for twice as much money then my asking price, I have no space or time to do so plus I think it would be a shame, the car has a lot of life left in it. The Allroad interior(seats and door panels) was close to $1,000 by itself, it's a lot of car for the money. Please let me know if you have any questions. The car can be seen in Port Richmond (19134) section of Philadelphia. Thank you for reading this ad. Best regards, John 267-984-3579 |

Honda, Audi sweep European tin-top championships
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Despite his win at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, Sebastian Vettel still has another race or two to go before he can claim his fourth consecutive World Championship in Formula 1. Back in Europe, however, this weekend saw several championship titles decided in a variety of tin-top racing series.
In the British Touring Car Championship, Gordon Shedden won the final round at Brands Hatch this weekend, but that wasn't enough to defend his title. Instead, the ultimate glory went to Andrew Jordan, also driving a Honda Civic, coming in ninth place to take a seven-point victory over Shedden in the final standings. Little wonder then that Honda took the constructors' championship and the Honda Yuasa Racing team took the teams' title. Four-time BTCC champion and Fifth Gear co-host Jason Plato, now driving for MG, landed third in the standings.
While Honda dominated the British championship, it was Audi that reigned supreme in mainland Europe. In the Superstars International Series - Italy's touring-car championship - Gianni Morbidelli drove the Audi RS5 to his fifth title, finishing the season's final race in a calculated third place behind the BMW racecars of Giovanni Berton and Max Mugelli. It's the second consecutive win for the RS5 in the Superstars series (Johan Kristoffersson won the title last year), and the second this year following Mike Rockenfeller's title in the RS5 DTM.

VW recalls 220,000 Atlases, Atlas Cross Sports for airbag defect [Updated]
Thu, Mar 31 2022[Update: Audi of America has confirmed that no U.S. models are among the recall population for plug-in hybrid fire issue.] Volkswagen has issued yet another recall for its Atlas SUV, this time for side airbags that may not deploy correctly in an accident due to a problematic connection in one of the vehicle's wiring harnesses. The campaign covers 222,892 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models built for the 2019-2023 model years. The issue stems from a connection with the wiring harness that runs from the A-pillar into the door. VW says that harnesses produced by one of its suppliers were not built with additional measures to prevent movement at the connection point. Small movements can cause abrasion of the metal contacts which could lead to a whole host of electronic misadventures, including the potential for airbag deployment to be delayed in a crash. "Micro-movement of the wire harness (terminal A-Pillar to front door) can result in damage to the wire terminal surface. Damage to the surface can [result] in fretting corrosion which may cause sporadic interruption in the electrical connection to the components of the front door," VW said in its defect notice. "The airbag warning light may illuminate if a malfunction is detected. Other symptoms of a sporadic interruption of the affected electrical connection can be: inadvertent rolling down windows, inadvertent park brake engagement at low speeds (below approx. 3km/h or 1.8mph), warning regarding faulty door sensor," VW said. Not every model built within the range defined above is subject to the recall; terminals from other suppliers were manufactured with the necessary safeguards in place. If you own a 2019-2023 Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport, keep your eyes peeled for a notification from VW regarding the campaign, likely some time in early-mid May. PHEV problems Across the Atlantic, the VW Group mothership confirmed that it will recall more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid models worldwide to address a fire risk. The recall was launched in response to 16 reported incidents of fires stemming from insufficient insulation of the PHEV battery pack that allows the engine cover to make contact if it is not completely secure. If that happens, the heat from the battery can ignite the engine cover. The recall will cover PHEVs build by VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda, Reuters reports, including the VW Passat, Golf, Tiguan and Arteon — plug-in variants of which are not sold in the United States.
