| 1997 | VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR | DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WERE CLOUDY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE MIRRORS WAS PEELING. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. UPDATED 9/5/2006 - THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACED THE MIRROR FREE OF CHARGE. *NM |
| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | 2000 AUDI A6 4.2L V8 QUATTRO ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE PLASTIC COOLANT PIPE BETWEEN THE OIL COOLER HOUSING AND THE ENGINE BLOCK FAILS CAUSING POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC COOLANT LOSS, OVERHEATED ENGINE AND POTENTIAL FIRE. *TR THE PLASTIC PIPE HARDENS/CRUMBLES WITH AGE, APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS AND 135K MILES. I REPLACED THE PIPE...IT TAKES ABOUT 10 MANHOURS. THE REPLACEMENT AUDI PART IS MAYBE $20 BUT IT IS STILL PLASTIC. I REPLACED IT WITH A BILLET ALUMINUM PART WITH DOUBLE O-RINGS. DEALER WANTED $2900.00 TO REPAIR!! I UNDERSTAND THIS PART IS ON EVERY 4.2L V8 ON BOTH A6 AND A8 CARS FROM 1998 TO CURRENT 2010. |
