This pump has not been installed anywhere: on VW Passat B5, Audi A4, A6, BMW, Opel, on trucks, etc. It often breaks down - so I think the information will not hurt.
So, if after pumping a pear or something from the nozzle tubes when scrolling with a starter, nothing presses - then you are here, you have problems with the mechanics: the most likely option is damage to the membrane (or cutting rings), the second option is a defect in the booster pump. You will see all this in the photo, who has everything in order - here you can consider the high-pressure fuel pump from all angles ...

In addition to the control panel, the second important interface between the system and the person is the monitor. With the new MMI, Audi has opted for a large 7-inch TFT display; it is ergonomically located at the top of the center console. The ultra-high resolution of 800 x 480 dots and LED backlighting make the monitor display extremely clear and contrasty - even in bright light, colors look rich against a black background. The new central computer, information electronics control unit 1 J794, performs the functions previously assigned to six separate control units. Additional features such as the SD card reader and the hard drive installed in the MMI navigation plus make the control unit a real high-tech product. The second new device is the Radio R control unit. It combines the functions of the tuner and audio system, which were previously divided between three control units. Thus, the total number of control units in the MOST system has been reduced. Although the 3rd generation MMI offers more features and equipment options, the system requires less space and even saves 4 kg of weight when fully equipped.

Audi A6 2004-2011 years of release most of all impresses our buyer. Why? It turns out that many fans of this model claim that the modifications of this car released today began to resemble more a computer on wheels than a car. Of course, this affected their reliability, but this is not enough.
Model History
The Audi A6 in the back of the C5 has always been produced in two versions: a sedan and a station wagon. If earlier this was considered the generally accepted norm, then today it is not so. The "Six", as fans call the Audi A6, has always differed from its eternal competitors from the German trinity with a good front- and all-wheel drive layout. Just exactly what you need for Russian roads.
The Audi A6 has firmly established itself in the luxury segment of cars, not inferior to its opponents in anything. In addition, the "six" could always boast of cool versions of S and RS.
So, the Audi A6 debuted in the fall of 1997, which already amazed experts with its design. But the Audi A6 did not deserve such popularity as in Europe and America. This model conquered our country gradually.
Audi A6 has always traditionally been produced in sedan and station wagon versions.
Modifications
On the gearbox, after the 100,000th run, the pushing chain changes, the price of which is 11 thousand rubles. After this time, a BU worth 35 thousand rubles can also fail. Every 60 thousand runs, you need to change the oil in the control unit, a liter of which costs 850 rubles.
Borrowed from the Audi A8, the independent suspension is durable. But the spring suspension will require serious intervention after 200 thousand kilometers. During this time, the stabilizer struts and bushings must be changed, including also. On the "Sixes" with pneumatics, the cylinders can hold up to 120 thousand kilometers, and we must remember that the front ones change only as an assembly.
What can you say? Huge expenses, if the Audi A6, which will not pay off in any way. But this does not stop fans and they still pay tribute to excellent driving performance, powerful and economical engines, rich equipment and good sound insulation, although expensive to repair and maintain, but beloved by all Audi A6 or simply "Six".
The second generation of the popular German car, with its appearance on the market, made the model even more in demand among buyers, and also brought brand sales to a new level. In the arsenal of such a car were new transmissions, engines.
Audi A6 C5 first appeared before the public in 1997 - as part of the prestigious automobile exhibition in Geneva. Then a four-door modification was shown. The station wagon (Avant) debuted a year later, in February, and photos and videos of the novelty were shown before this world.
On the assembly line of the Audi A6 C5 sedan stood in the summer of 1997. Station wagon - in 1998. The model was discontinued in 2004, while in 2001 it was restyled.
In general, it is worth noting that the second generation of this car personified the emergence of Audi's own corporate style. Therefore, the design similarities between the TT roadster and the Audi A6 C5 are not accidental. Indeed, for its time, the car looked very presentable.
However, if you delve into the chassis, then the innovations here are not revolutionary:
- MacPherson - front suspension scheme;
- Rear - "multi-link".
The traction of some power units was realized through the proprietary Quattro all-wheel drive system, and the front drive was the key type of drive.
Audi A6 Allroad deserves a separate discussion. This car appeared in 2000 and, in fact, became the founder of a whole class of off-road station wagons.
External differences Olroad from the usual station wagon - unpainted body kit, high ground clearance, roof rails. In terms of technology, it is noteworthy that all-wheel drive was already available in the basic equipment.
Another interesting modification of the Audi A6 C5, which was positioned as a factory tuning - S-line. Such a car can be recognized by a special sports suspension with low ground clearance, an aerodynamic body kit, massive bumpers, S-line letters, and sports paraphernalia of the cabin (sports seats, steering wheel, aluminum pedals).
Motors
The gasoline range is represented by engines of 1.8-4.2 liters. Power varies from 125 to 300 horsepower. Diesel engines have a volume of 1.9-2.5 liters, the potential of which ranges from 110 to 180 horsepower. A choice of a five-six-speed manual transmission, a five-six-band automatic transmission, a variator are offered.
It was with these motors that a new era began for their maintenance, for example, in order to replace the timing belt, you will have to disassemble the entire face.
Yes, and other types of work (replacing the air conditioning compressor, thermostat, cooling pump) require removing the front bumper and moving the muzzle to the service position.
Price policy
In the secondary market, the Audi A6 C5 can be found with two body types:
What do users think?
Owner reviews indicate that the Audi A6 C5 is an excellent representative of the E segment. I confirm this, first of all, the large size of the Audi - it is spacious inside. Also, in favor of comfort, many attribute a soft suspension.
As for motors, they are very popular, but they have complaints about reliability, as well as oil consumption per 1000 kilometers. Looking through the reviews, you can often read about the unreliable timing drive and clutch, as well as the short life of the turbine.
Review
Appearance
Audi A6 C5 looks respectable and attractive. It is worth highlighting the correct and strict proportions of the body, its unobtrusive contours, a large radiator grille with an equally noticeable brand emblem, a rectangular configuration of the head optics and a stylish aerodynamic body kit.
The front bumper contains volumetric sections that effectively cool the engine compartment, also helping to reduce the aerodynamic coefficient.
Salon
Inside is quite spacious and comfortable. Solid finishing materials are combined with a competent assembly, and a calm color scheme almost does not contrast with the mature architecture of the front panel.
The center console is arranged compactly and at the same time thoughtfully. Despite the fact that the control keys for the media system and the air conditioning unit are close to each other, it is not difficult to understand their purpose due to the large size and font.
The same can be said about the instrument panel - large digitization and on-board computer font do not force you to take your eyes off the road to read the readings.
The front seats are comfortable for a long journey due to optimal rigidity and a well-thought-out profile, but the side support rollers are widely spaced and almost not expressed.
As for the rear sofa, it can not only please passengers with space, but also with functionality - a small organizer is organized in the central armrest, which allows you to put small things there.
The trunk of a sedan by the standards of its segment is simply huge - 551 liters of usable volume. The luggage compartment of the wagon is more modest - 455 liters, but it can be increased to 1590 liters if the rear backs of the sofa are folded down.
Driving performance
Specifications Audi A6 C5:
- Turbocharged 1.8 liter engine. Power is 150 horsepower. It is this power plant that is in high demand among the consumer.
- Five-band automatic transmission.
- Front-wheel drive.
The engine has a pronounced turbo-hole up to 2000 thousand revolutions and refuses to clearly accelerate from a standstill. However, at medium speeds, a noticeable pickup appears, and the car changes - the gas pedal becomes sensitive to pressure, and acceleration becomes more enjoyable due to the even torque shelf (3000-5200 rpm). The automatic transmission algorithm is clear and logical, but the gears change too smoothly.
The chassis is tuned for comfort. This is manifested in the high smoothness of the ride on small and medium bumps. The suspension is very energy-intensive, and as a result, hardy.
However, comfort did not negatively affect handling - the steering is quite informative and allows you to feel the position of the wheels when the steering wheel rotates, while the rolls in turns are moderate. But, the desire to drive in turns is quickly beaten off by strong understeer, which manifests itself in the form of a sharp drift at the limit of the car's capabilities.
Photo Audi A6 (C5):
This car has a rather interesting body. The design move allowed not only to add even more aesthetics to the car, but also to increase its aerodynamic properties. The car had several generations. The first appeared in 1996, and the second in 1997.
The second generation car turned out to be even more elegant and refined. Appearance has changed dramatically. The company's designers worked on the exterior. The appearance of this particular car subsequently became the standard for developers.
Looking at the Audi A6 C5, the technical characteristics of which the company's mechanics are especially proud of, you understand that there is nothing superfluous in the car. This is a real executive class car, a luxury sedan that not everyone can afford. The car combines sophistication and at the same time a certain simplicity that does not make it cheap, on the contrary. Clear lines, smoothness - all this, combined together, literally captivates at first sight.
This car has received many positive reviews from owners. They especially emphasize the design of the body. Looking at the car, a person understands that it is not just a luxury class car, but a convenient and comfortable means of transportation. The calmness of the lines pacifies. Both bumpers in the second generation car were made in the form of hemispheres. The car has also grown in size. Its length became equal to 4.8 meters, the height increased to 1.78 meters, and the width - 1.43 meters. This significantly increased the interior space of the car.

The line includes four-cylinder engines, in-line, with a volume of 1.8 and 2.0 cc, V-shaped eight-cylinder, 4.2 cc, V-shaped six-cylinder, with a volume of 2.4 and 2.7. These engines operate in "biturbo" mode. All gasoline engines are equipped with electronic injection and ignition of the Motronic system. The most popular is the Audi A6 C5 2 5 TDI engine, which is available in four power ratings: 150, 155, 163 and 190 hp.
Transmission
Second-generation Audi A6 cars are fitted with sequential shift gearboxes. For the first time, a five-band Tiptronic gearbox was used. Optionally available key switch speeds in the manual version. Since 1999, front-wheel drive modifications have been equipped with a CVT transmission operating in DPR mode - dynamic software regulation. From mechanical gearboxes, 5 or 6-speed were used.
For the Audi A6 C5 model, automatic transmission is the norm; automatic transmissions are installed on most mass-produced cars. In small batches, specimens with mechanical gearboxes roll off the assembly line.
Drive scheme
The Audi C5 was produced in a Quattro all-wheel drive version, with a Torsen center differential, with a uniform distribution of torque, 50 to 50 percent, between the front and rear axles. At the moment of slipping, the ratio of loads changed, depending on the situation. Torsen is quite reliable and stable, while many similar electronic-based devices often fail and do not block the center differential in time. However, for the Torsen system, it is unacceptable to have wheels of different diameters on a car. The machine works in accordance with its parameters, and any design changes that it "cannot understand" lead to a breakdown of the differential.
Vehicle interior
The salon looks simply luxurious. However, it is not devoid of functionality. On the dashboard are very compact, but informative devices. All data can be seen on the display. 
With the help of the center console, the driver can easily control the car's systems, and there are a lot of them. So, not without an anti-lock system, heated rear mirror, air conditioning, audio system, heated seats. The car turned out to be very safe.
Such expensive materials as leather, Alcantara are used as interior trim. Inserts made of plastic and wood fit very harmoniously into the interior. All this creates a single image of an expensive and very functional car. The car has a spacious trunk with a volume of 510 liters. Taking care of the safety of their customers, the developers have implanted airbags and an anti-slip system into the car. Crash protection is provided largely by a strong steel frame. The mass of the car was not so big. This was facilitated by the use of aluminum.
Audi A6 C5: specifications and prices
Depending on the modification, completely different engines were installed in the car. Their working volume varied from 1.8 to 4.2 liters. The power of the first model was only 125 horsepower, and the last - 300 horsepower. It also depended on the modification which gearbox the car would have. These were 5- or 6-speed automatics or the same mechanics.
Today this car is not produced. Therefore, it is impossible to find out the initial price in terms of today. But a used car will cost motorists 300-600 thousand rubles. In this case, the cost will depend on the condition of the vehicle, its modification, mileage and some other factors.
It is impossible not to say that it was the Audi A6 C5 that became a cult car. This machine is still very famous and popular today. Many drivers would like to ride on such a car.
Interior
The interior space of the car is equipped with the expectation of maximum comfort for both the driver and passengers. Air conditioning operating in Klimatronic mode, which allows air purification with simultaneous cooling, adjustable heating of all seats, electric heating of exterior rear-view mirrors and windshield washer jets. 
The cabin is equipped with a two-channel audio system Symphony and Concert, with a cassette player and a DVD player. Eight quad speakers with a subwoofer provide the perfect sound experience. Disk feeding is automatic, by means of a changer. All vehicle configurations, including the basic standard, provide for the presence of a TV in the cabin.
The navigation system is constantly on in the car, its data is displayed on a large liquid crystal display installed in the upper part of the center console.
The car is equipped with an effective anti-theft alarm system with sensors placed throughout the cabin that monitor the movement of unfamiliar persons inside the car.
Safety
The basic equipment of the car consists of a number of accessories and devices. Passive and active safety is provided by ten emergency airbags located around the entire perimeter of the cabin, the ASR traction control system, which stabilizes movement at high speeds - ESP. The engine compartment is equipped with an anti-accident underframe, which prevents the engine from entering the passenger compartment at the time of a frontal collision.
review of the main problems of the audi a6 c5 gasoline
Since the first generation of the A6 was actually just “weaving in a different wrapper”, the really new A6 was presented only in 1997, at an exhibition in Geneva. The car was assembled on a completely new C5 platform (4B body), and became more modern and more complex.
The model turned out to be successful, and more than once got into the TOP 10 car ratings. On the territory of the CIS, this car also “taken root” perfectly, symbolizing the status of the owner with all its appearance. Especially in the first years of sales, in the eyes of the public (and in reality it often happened), the owner of the A6 became a deputy or a businessman. Today, even a “mere mortal” can buy an Audi A6 C5, and the model has not yet lost its premium roots. In this regard, many have developed a strong association that the maintenance of such a car is very expensive. Below, we will look at the pros and cons to make it easier for you to choose a used car.
Body
The body of the Audi A6 is made according to the best German technologies and "traditions", is fully galvanized and does not cause corrosion problems. The new body has improved the aerodynamic qualities of the car, passive safety is also at a good level (strong interior section and designed deformation). True, in EuroNCAP it was not possible to score five stars, one point was removed due to the danger of injuring the driver's knees in a head-on collision. But even in the base, Audi installed four airbags, with the possibility of "breeding" up to 10 pieces.
Body features include an aluminum hood and trunk lid. This was done to lighten the car, and problems can arise only in the event of an accident, since aluminum does not straighten (if they do, it is very expensive). But in this age of ubiquitous "showdowns" and "donor cars", this is not such a problem anymore. A hood in good condition can be bought at a “disassembly” for $300, and a trunk lid for $80, and if you’re lucky with the color, then it’s a total savings.
In February 1998, they began to produce a station wagon body, or as Audi calls this Avant body type. Such a body is widely used due to its harmonious design and practicality. Although the trunk volume is not very outstanding (455/1590 liters, and in a sedan the trunk is 550 liters), it’s quite enough to go to the sea with neighbors (you can even with tents). There are even configurations with a third row of seats (although they are designed for children).
Restyling of the model took place in May 2001. Then the headlights and the right rear-view mirror were increased (before restyling, the right mirror was smaller than the left one, if the mirrors are the same in the car before 2001, it is likely that it was converted from right to left-hand drive), the taillights were changed and a chrome trim appeared air intake in the front bumper. They did not miss the technical part either, the changes affected the suspension, which was modernized to increase reliability. The range of engines has also changed.
Options and interior Audi A6 C5
5 people in the cabin of the Audi A6 will feel quite comfortable (if they are not sumo wrestlers, of course). Salon is one of the most spacious in the class, and most importantly, one of the highest quality. Assembly and quality of materials at the highest level, even after 10-15 years of "human" operation, you will not hear any squeaks or knocks while the car is moving. Moreover, the soundproofing also did not let us down. 
Already in the basic configuration, the Audi A6 will please with air conditioning, automatic heating of rear-view mirrors, front power windows with the “do not pinch” function, fog lights, central locking (although now VAZ, try to find it, without central locking), and there must also be 4 airbags. And since the Audi A6 was often bought in the maximum configuration, it is easy to find and buy an Audi with an additional set of options. And there are a huge number of options: anti-bux, stability control, seat heating, driver's door lock and windshield washer nozzles, electric adjustment of the front seats, binding the position of the seats and rear-view mirrors to different ignition keys, leather interior, glass sunroof, factory xenon and many more what. What is especially nice when buying a used car is that all these pleasant little things do not drastically affect the price.
Audi A6 C5 engines
The variety of the Audi A6 engine range is impressive: 10 petrol and 3 diesel engines. All these motors have one thing in common - expensive repairs. Therefore, when buying a used car, you should not skimp on engine diagnostics (and any diagnostics). Especially diesel engines, on which until the cylinders start to turn off, it is very difficult to understand that the engine is “dying”. Let's start in ascending order:
1.8 (ADR, 125 hp)— Inherited from the previous model C4. An unpretentious 4-cylinder engine, for lovers of a calm and measured ride, because if this engine is "driven", then it will not last long. The engine resource is lower than that of the V6, during normal operation, it runs, on average, 300,000 km.
1.8T (ADR, 150 hp)- the same engine, only with a turbine. The turbine adds 25 horsepower and 3-4 problems. Basically, problems arise due to improper operation of a turbocharged engine: low-quality oil, untimely replacement or cleaning of the oil pipe, turning off the engine before the turbine has cooled down (30 seconds-2 minutes after stopping, depending on traffic intensity, it is easier to set a turbo timer!) .
2.0 (ALT, 130 HP)- appeared after restyling, judging by the reviews of the owners of the Audi A6, it is better to take the time-tested 1.8 ADR or jump to six cylinders.
2.4 (AGA, 165-170 HP)- many consider this motor to be the "golden mean". The resource of six-cylinder engines from Audi, with good service, is 500,000 km. At least once every 100 thousand km it is necessary to clean the radiator and do not forget to change the coolant, if you ignore it, the engine may overheat (the consequences eat up at least $ 800 from the family budget). 5 horsepower was added after restyling in 2001.
2.8 (ACK, 193 HP)- the same V6 as the previous one, only the power and fuel consumption are higher. Although the consumption is the most by 5-10%, and if the car is loaded, then 2.4 can “eat” even more than 2.8.
3.0 (ASN, 220 HP)-30-valve V6 with an aluminum block (if it comes to a major overhaul, it costs an order of magnitude more expensive than the 2.4 and 2.8 engines), which they began to install after restyling, instead of 2.8 ACK.
2.7 + 2 turbines (ASN - 230,ARE, BES - 250 hp)- an almost legendary engine, with acceleration of 7.6 and 6.8 seconds to hundreds (depending on the herd under the hood). Since they take a car with such an engine not for a "pensioner's" ride, then hearing about the consumption in the city below 16 liters is a rarity, more often 18-20 liters. Maintenance features are the same as previous V6 engines, just don't forget about 2 turbines. Unconsciously, like “what if you get lucky”, you should not take a car with this engine.
4.2 (ASG, 300 HP)- a devourer of gasoline and oil (a liter of oil per 1,000 km, almost the norm) with a non-repairable aluminum block, and acceleration to hundreds of 6.9 seconds (which is comparable to a 250 horsepower 2.7 biturbo engine). Motor for "fanatics".
The volume of a diesel engine can only be 1.9 or 2.5 liters, but it is easy to get confused in modifications. If you need a reliable and economical engine, and speed characteristics do not really matter, then choose the Audi A6C5 with a diesel engine 1,9 TDI(110 HP). Modification with pump nozzles can be 115 or 130 strong, but you will have to pay extra for increased power in case of repair. With proper maintenance, 1.9-liter diesel engines go 400,000 km without repair.
And if you want more powerful diesel, then in the case of the AUDI A6 C5, it is better not to combine these two concepts, since 2.5 literTDI (AFB, 150 HP) became famous for its unreliability and high cost of repairs (engine 2,5 AKE, 180 HP, which appeared in 1999, except for power, is practically no different from its predecessor AFB). Basically, major problems with this engine begin after 200,000 km (and there are most of them today). One of the main reasons for the overhaul is the unfinished timing system. The problem was eliminated only in 2003, and engines with a modernized timing drive were marked - BAU, BDG, BDH. A thorough diagnosis before purchase is mandatory, although it is impossible to assess the condition of the timing system without removing the valve covers.
The key to the health of any engine: timely maintenance (timing, filters, oils, turbine pipe), high-quality oil and fuel, regular replacement of antifreeze and cleaning of the radiator. Unfortunately, in the CIS, car owners rarely comply with at least one of these conditions, so do not spare money for high-quality diagnostics before buying an Audi A6, it will help you save a lot in the future.
Gearboxes
Mechanics can be 5 or 6-speed, and does not cause any problems at all. The only recommendation is to change the oil every 150 thousand kilometers (although many do not do this, firmly believing that the box is maintenance-free).
With "automatic" things are a little more complicated. Usually problems arise with the electronics of the Multitronic variator, but this is a “rare guest” in our area, as well as with the control unit of the adaptive box with Tiptronic (although, in general, the box is quite reliable). A conventional machine does not cause problems, with proper operation, of course. The maintenance schedule for all automatic transmissions is the same - every 50,000 km it is necessary to change the oil and filter.
Chassis
The front suspension of the Audi A6 C5 is covered with many legends, mostly negative ones. In fact, the durability of the suspension depends on three factors:
- Quality of spare parts. The original set of levers usually runs 100,000 km and costs $1,000, an analogue from the German manufacturer LEMFÖRDER is 50-60,000 km, and the price for a set is $600, and factory China for its $300 will travel 25-30,000 km.
- Proper replacement of levers. If you tighten the bolts on an unloaded (the car falls on the stops) suspension, then even original spare parts pass only half the time.
- Driving style and road quality. There is nothing to comment on, with our roads, it is possible to “kill” the suspension on any car, almost in one day.
It is not necessary to change the whole set of front suspension arms; individual arms can be changed as needed. Folk "kulibins" have learned how to restore ball bearings (although they are unlikely to give a good guarantee) and repress silent blocks (there are freely available for sale).
But the rear semi-independent suspension will not cause problems, the average maintenance period for the rear suspension on a monodrive is 200,000 km. We'll have to change 2 silent blocks and shock absorbers. In the case of the all-wheel drive "Quattro", a "bunch" of silent blocks is added to the list of maintenance, although it's worth it. Especially in winter, you will feel all the benefits of the four leaders. Audi's all-wheel drive is one of the most reliable components, the Torsen self-locking differential has been tested since the 80s.
Outcome
The Audi A6 C5 is a car worthy of your attention, but it is worth considering the past of a particular instance. If the car was serviced with high quality and on time, then its owner will become the “lord of the rings”, will receive comfort and driving pleasure. Otherwise, the acquired A6 will become the "master" of your wallet. Therefore, high-quality diagnostics before buying is necessary in any case. And the points that you should pay special attention to are written above.
Good luck on the roads!
