I’ve owned this car for about 7 years and have done my best to keep it running right. I’ve been working for an Audi and/or Volkswagen dealer for the past 13 years in parts and service and have used my knowledge and available dealer resources to care for the car over the years. A recent career change came with a brand new VW company car, and now it is time for me to say goodbye to my A6 Avant. Before getting my new car, I was using the A6 almost every day, sometimes taking it on trips more than 300 miles and back. The car runs really well, but needs some work and I will do my best to disclose everything that I know is wrong.

WHAT IS RIGHT WITH THE CAR:

·        Engine runs smoothly and quietly with full power; no excess engine noise and no exhaust leaks

·        The exhaust system is custom (but street legal), using the stainless steel Audi S6 rear mufflers, keeping stock catalytic converters (with new flex-couplings), but eliminating the center “suitcase” muffler – better flow and a nice, mellow, throaty growl around 2500-3000 rpm. Not loud, not obnoxious, sounds completely stock 80% of the time (including while idling)

·        Transmission shifts smoothly

·        Drives straight, no pulling or rattling from the suspension

·        Brakes are sharp and quiet (all brand new)

·        All electrical accessories, including windows, locks, HVAC, cruise, sunroof, mirrors and heated seats are operational

·        Air conditioning blows cold

·        Passed NY state / emissions inspection July 2013

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR:

·        While the wheels look really good, they are not perfectly round. There is a slight vibration felt all around at about 60mph

·        Tires are worn – need to be replaced

·        Scratches and dings all around

·        There is a small coolant leak coming from the back of the engine (I believe it is coming from the crossover pipe). Again, there is no overheating issue, but I do need to top off the coolant once every 3 or 4 weeks

·        Check engine light comes on intermittently

·        Electric (A/C) cooling fan is very noisy when it is on (usually only while A/C is running, or in heavy traffic) – it functions perfectly and there is no overheating issue, just sounds like the bearing in the fan motor is shot (NEW REPLACEMENT FAN INCLUDED WITH SALE OF VEHICLE)

·        Shocks and springs are original and are starting to show their age; while there are no knocks or rattles coming from the suspension, it does feel a little soft… most driver’s would probably not know the difference, but if you are familiar with the way VWs or Audis are supposed to feel on the road

·        Front cupholders are not working properly (REPLACEMENT PARTS INCLUDED WITH SALE OF VEHICLE)

Please note, as knowledgeable as I am about these cars, I can only attest to what I know now. I am in no way expressing any guarantee of condition or warranty of any kind. Vehicle is sold as-is, so if there is anything you would like to know, please ask prior to close of auction.
