1999 Audi A6 / S6 / RS6
Engine not specified
| 222500 mi | Low Oil Pressure lamp came on. Engine began to clatter. Shut off and towed to shop. Maybe bad oil pump. Have not decide to whether to make repair or not. May just try removing oil pan and cleaning oil pick-up. Engine may be sludged up. |
| 225000 mi US $200 |
Engine misfires badly. Replaced plugs and wires. Runs much more smoothly. Discovered leaking valve cover gasket. Did not fix. Car too old. |
| 227000 mi | Engine running roughly. Valve cover gasket leaking. Leaky and loud exhaust noise. |

Replaced coolant overflow tank because the old one had a crack that a previous owner tried to glue back together. |
| 151000 mi US $15 |
This car's rubber braided hoses have all failed. I replaced all that I could get access to. A check engine light indicated knock sensor issues and Secondary Air Intake insufficient flow. Could not find the cause of the problem in time before someone purchased the car from me. |
| 133000 mi US $185 |
New plugs installed. After a timing belt service, they never checked the plugs so it was misfiring soon after, so now its fixed. |

A pulley seized and snapped the main belt and I lost power steering. |
| 165000 mi US $1250 |

Replaced a leaking passengers side engine mount. The mount replaced was new in April of 2009. Parts supplier warranty'd, I paid shipping. While replacing the engine mount again, I noticed the waterpump was leaking - coolant down the front & onto oil pan. Replacing the waterpump forced the full timing belt job, which the car was due for anyway. |

The car would not start. Diagnosed (audi forum) the problem to be the Engine coolant temp sensor. Replaced the sensor. added fluid to replace fluid lost during work. |
