The A6 is an award-winning luxury sedan produced by German car company Audi. The A6 won the “Drive Car of the Year” in 2020 just 3 months after its release onto the Australian market. It is powered by either a 40, 45 or 55 TFSI petrol or diesel engine and is available in front wheel drive, or with the quattro all-wheel drive system.

The new A6 features an impressive array of state-of-the-art technology and new driver assistance features, from a 12.3-inch virtual cockpit with voice command system to superior lighting technology and intelligent driver assistance like the traffic jam assist feature. The main competition for the A6 is the Mercedes Benz E class and the BMW 5 series.

Common problems with the Audi A6?

As with all cars, it is important to maintain regular services and safety checks to ensure that your car is safe and reliable. Whether you are driving an Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen or Skoda, Auto Studios RAA approved mechanics are experts in all European cars and would love to ensure your car is running at its best.

Excessive Oil Consumption

The A6 has been known to consume oil in short amounts of time, so it is important to ensure that you are checking your oil levels regularly. Driving without enough oil can seriously damage your engine so while this can be seen as a minor inconvenience, it is something that shouldn’t be ignored. Auto Studio can replace your oil at your next service and make sure your cars levels are topped up.

Timing Chain

Problems with your timing chain can easily result in the need for a new engine, and there have been a number of cases with older models of the A6. This is often caused by the plastic guide rails or hydraulic pistons failing and is a problem that will progress quickly. If you have noticed rattling noises from your engine, experienced engine misfires or your check engine light has become illuminated then we suggest bringing your car in for a service without delay.

Models made between 2011 and 2016 have been prone to a blocked coolant pumps, a problem that will result in the engine overheating.
