Find a dealerFeatures of the body
The manufacturer announced three variants of the body of the Audi A6 with different technical characteristics. The most compact of them is the standard 4-door sedan, which is 4915 mm long.
The Audi A6 Allroad Quattro is the largest off-road station wagon with a length of 4,940 mm. The 5-door traditional version, which is in great demand among European motorists, is the Audi A6 station wagon Avant shorter by 14 mm.
The key difference between the off-road version of the Audi A6 Quattro is the equipment in the form of a massive body kit. For this version of the vehicle, a special platform has been developed with a “shortened” center distance (2,905 mm). In sedans and the standard version of the station wagon, the location of the wheel axle is more “wide” - 2,912 mm.
In addition, the manufacturer offers "charged" versions of this model - a sports modification of the Audi A6 S Line, as well as embodied power - the RennSport version (Audi RS).
The clearance of cars is 163 mm. However, thanks to the air suspension that is fitted as standard on Allroad vehicles, they get an effective means of moving off-road due to the ability to raise the body by 40 mm.
Aggregate layouts
The manufacturer managed to achieve a wide coverage of the audience with various technical needs, thanks to the many aggregate layouts of the model. For their formation are used:
- 7 types of motors;
- 3 types of gearboxes;

It was deservedly considered an extremely successful model and was produced from 1997 to 2004. The chassis design turned out to be very promising, but even the most successful cars cannot live on the assembly line forever, especially in the premium segment, where Audi has settled since the late 80s.
The new A6 in the body, which received the designation C6 / 4F, inherited many of the generic features of the previous model, including the layout and suspension design. But the body has noticeably increased in size and, of course, the entire line of engines has been replaced. No less changes have taken place inside: the MMI multimedia system is only the visible part of the iceberg. A much more complex structure of electronic units and actuators remained out of sight. Well, as expected, more chic, "premium", dynamics and ... prices. All according to the laws of the genre.
And the car was remembered for the monstrous V10 on the sports versions of the S6 and RS6. The engine is of the same modular series as the V6 and V8 FSI, but it is on the basis of this block that the unit for the new Lamborghini will be made later. And for Audi, an atmospheric version of 5.2 liters with direct injection with a capacity of 435 hp was in store. With. and a completely unrealistic biturbo with a volume of 5.0 liters and a power of 580 hp. with., and also with a good margin for additional forcing.
Pictured: Audi S6 and RS6
In the process of restyling in 2008, the car seriously changed its appearance, electronic filling and a line of motors. And then she managed to light up in a scandal with a recall in several stages of cars with a 3.0 TFSI engine, in which the piston group literally “devoured” not just quickly (which the owners are already used to), but very quickly. Fortunately, a pleasant surprise was in store for the Russian owners, leaving the three-liter V6 of the old reliable series with 218 hp in the range of engines. s., which, along with the 3.0 diesel engine, looked simply amazing against the background of the extremely problematic more “perfect” engines with their “oil burner”, failures and even fires. However, let's talk about everything in more detail.
Body and interior
Audi in this body really almost does not rust - the oldest cars are just getting point defects in the paintwork in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear wheel arches. The paint on the front arches peels off a little earlier, but corrosion is not noticeable “by eye”, because the fenders and hood are made of aluminum. True, it also corrodes and eventually collapses, turning into a white powder. The solid structure of the body does not allow any special liberties: the subframes are strong, like the spars and attachment points. Unless the trunk floor and floor spars suffer - the car is low, and contact with curbs and other obstacles often occurs with not very neat owners. Outwardly, this is imperceptible, but it would be nice to update the anti-corrosion layer.1 / 4

Also pay attention to the windshield frame - damage to the paintwork is possible here, and the condition of the seam sealant in the engine compartment of cars with V8 and V6 diesel engines, a large load on the front end and high temperature can damage the seams very early, but such a defect is rare. The beautiful interior of the A6 is fraught with many potential "crickets". Alas, the complexity of reinforcing work here is much higher than average, breakdowns of additional equipment are common, poorly diagnosed, and periodically you have to remove seats, door trim, and even the dashboard to access blocks and connectors. Collecting everything is difficult, and the materials age over time. In general, the design for multiple assembly and disassembly is not designed. But the quality of the materials has become even better, except that the leather of the seats and steering wheel is no longer as good as on old cars, fraying is common. But there are no buttons with white worn zones, all the inserts are silvered or delight with a wooden sheen, like new ones, for many, many years. And small things work well even in age, the buttons do not lose their elasticity and clarity of switching.

Salon Audi A6 Allroad 4.2 quattro "2006–08
Serious damage? The climate unit can "please" the failure of one of the six gear motors. New roads, and changing a failed part is long and dreary, services often offer to remove the entire dashboard to complete the work. The fan motor is not particularly reliable, the climate displays “burn out” over time - the cables lose contact, the MMI loses sound, buttons, settings, navigation ... The control keys on the central tunnel are in the vulnerable zone - they are often tritely filled with liquid. By the way, sometimes the sunroof and autumn leaves are to blame - they clog drains, and then water flows into the cabin, right in the center.

Salon Audi A6 Allroad 3.0T quattro "2008–11
A broken handbrake button is already our “trick” - many owners try to “drift” or simply pull sharply, “until it clicks”. It is clear that the Germans did not count on such barbarism, the key simply breaks. And the cigarette lighter is poorly located, coins or metal debris can get into its vertical connector and cause a short circuit.
Otherwise, everything is fine, and the condition of the cabin depends on the quality of the service where the A6 was serviced, as well as on the number of breakdowns in the interior electronics. The cars are not so old, a complete set of problems is present only on completely abandoned copies, killed by a “high-quality” dealer service with repeated replacement of elements, and on traveling cars that are operated “for slaughter”.
Electrical and electronics
It is the electronics of the machine that owes the appearance of almost all salon “problems”. After all, there are a bunch of independent electronic units with their own settings and features. Any breakdown of the electrics on the A6 is not solved by a fifteen-minute visit to an electrician, but by the serious work of people specializing in such electrics. And paid accordingly. For example, a non-working seat heating came out at ... 42 thousand rubles. Well, what do you want, 10 thousand - work on finding and flashing blocks, 32 thousand - the price of a new block and replacement work. By the way, the heating mat itself in the seat was intact, if it broke, then it would be another 20 thousand, if you do not introduce "emel" instead of the original rugs with precisely calculated heating zones. Can you imagine how much it would cost to repair a handbrake? Wiring harnesses to the right and left rear caliper, and even fixing the button and removing the error? Yes, minus 50 thousand rubles from the budget. Failed mirror adjustment? A new door block and comfort block firmware, the issue price is 30 thousand rubles with a used replacement block. No battery charging? Oh, the choice of problems is truly rich, from the most banal generator failure to a failure in the charge control system, and replacing the generator is still a “successful” option.
This car needs a lot of love. And never quit, otherwise then it simply cannot be restored. There are more than three dozen electronic components, they all fail in very different ways: someone dies quietly, someone puts the entire bus and stubbornly defies diagnosis, someone gives out something much more ingenious. The system can work for years without failures, but if problems appear, they are solved for a long time and expensively. Of the more banal, purely electrical problems - the headlights, correctors, reflectors, the glass itself die, there is another trouble in restyling - the LED line goes out. If the ESP acceleration sensor fails, half of the “very necessary functions” stop working and an error lights up for ... correctly, for the ABS unit. In general, without a scanner and knowledge of the features of the machine, there is nothing to do here. And the engine compartment on 4.2 engines and sensors do not last long - they are hot. Starters and fans don't last long on all petrol V6s and V8s. The rear parking sensors suffer from weak sensors. I'm afraid that the list of those electronic components that ruin the lives of their owners quite regularly will be long. There are too many of them to highlight really serious patterns. The future owner just needs to be ready for anything and take even the smallest things very seriously. And avoid service in services where such a car is seen for the first time.
Suspension, brake system and steering
Multi-link suspension has long been considered an extremely problematic place. But even the multi-link front and rear on the A6 will not seriously unsettle the owner of the car. The price of replacing everything on a "departed" car, of course, is very high. But everything rarely breaks down at once, expensive units have inexpensive analogues, and the mileage of most elements during normal urban operation is at least 60 thousand kilometers, or even times more. With a very careful and normal movement, the car can go thousands of 200 kilometers without serious interventions. Of course, with the V8 under the hood and on the “duct tape”, the suspension bulkhead becomes a mandatory operation at every MOT.
In front, the lower front and upper arms traditionally suffer first. At the rear, it is also the upper arms that fail first. Fortunately, almost all loaded units have replaceable silent blocks on at least one side, and the cost of spare parts is low. Separately, it is worth noting that the silent blocks of the front subframe also need to be changed regularly, especially on machines with powerful engines. Front wheel bearings run only 100-120 thousand on cars with heavy engines and sports suspensions. At the back, the resource depends on the mode of operation: if the car often drives with a full load and on bad roads, then you will have to change it after a hundred. If this is urban operation, and even with a maximum of one passenger, then they can be said to be almost eternal.

Optional air suspension is rare and notorious. But now the price of air springs is no longer prohibitive, there are substitutes and craftsmen who repair systems and even modify them. For example, you can put a sealed casing, "a-la Porsche" and strengthen the system with a large receiver.

The steering here is completely traditional: hydraulic booster and rack with servotronic. Everything is quite reliable, the rail is not prone to leaks and knocks, the hydraulics are well done, the pipes do not leak, the pump is reliable. Complaints about the short resource of steering rods and tips are mainly characteristic of cars with very wide tires. Brakes differ in size and successful design. Large brake discs are prone to buckling and even imbalance over time and should be replaced on time. And the resource of the pads is small, but this is typical for heavy and powerful machines. Otherwise, everything is very reliable: brake pipes very rarely fail even in the cars of the very first releases, and the ABS unit suffers only from problems with on-board electronics. However, when buying a car, you should pay attention to "collective farming" - brakes from the Porsche Panamera or another custom set of brake discs and calipers are relatively common. The handbrake often fails, but even here there are problems of a purely electrical nature - it breaks the wiring to the individual motors of its drive, and people, in addition, break the control button in the cabin.
transmissions
Manual transmissions are reliable here, but the dual-mass flywheel requires regular replacement or repair, and the pleasure is not cheap at all. The driveshaft on the Quattro and the wheel drives are strong and last a long time. With runs for one and a half - two hundred thousand kilometers, the intermediate support of the driveshaft and the front outer CV joints may give up. Quite a worthy resource. It is worth monitoring the oil level in the rear gearbox: if there are streaks on the case, then it is worth checking it regularly or repairing the breather and oil seals. If the oil leaves, it will fail very quickly. There are two types of automatic transmissions. The Multitronic CVT was installed on front-wheel drive cars, and the classic ZF gearbox relied on all-wheel drive. I already talked about Multitronik - at first there were continuous problems from the variator. An already heavily modified version was installed on the C6, which differs both in the control unit and in the filling of the unit itself, and it causes relatively few difficulties. Since 2005, this box can be considered very reliable, the number of failures due to design failures is really small. Since 2006, variators of the 0AN series have appeared, which perfectly digested the moment of even powerful 2.7 diesel engines and a 3.2 FSI engine. Most of the complaints about the box are related to the mode of operation and design features. The chain variator is still a variator. He does not like slippage, abrupt starts, shock loads, towing heavy trailers and driving at maximum speed. In addition to everything, there are generic “sores” - the cones are damaged during towing and the chain resource is 100-180 thousand kilometers. And if you tighten it with a replacement, then the chain will break the cones, and the repair will come out “golden”. With quiet operation, even with fairly powerful 3.0 MPI and 2.0 TFSI engines, the resource is very good and, most importantly, predictable. There are almost no minor failures, glitches and failures. The main thing is to check it when buying, it is very important to work on a cold one, the absence of obvious slippage and extraneous sounds during smooth movement. And after a full warm-up - about 10-20 kilometers, normal operation without twitching with traction, adequate switching during acceleration "to the floor" from a speed of 10-20 km / h and above. Shocks and howling when accelerating, as well as hard twitches when “switching down” are unacceptable. The price of the chain itself is relatively low, about 20 thousand rubles for the “original”, but if it is not changed on time, then the costs, as I said, will increase by an order of magnitude. Six-speed automatic transmissions of the ZF 6HP19 series on all-wheel drive vehicles with engines up to 4.2 liters and 6HP26 with 5.2 engines cannot be attributed to particularly fragile structures, but you should not count on a long resource either. Active use of the blocking of the gas turbine engine during acceleration, work with the slipping of the main friction clutches sharply reduce the resource. Vibrations and wear products in the oil break the automatic transmission bushings and contaminate the valve body, which here is separated into a separate unit, called mechatronics, which also successfully fails.
If the owner drives carefully and at the same time changes the oil in the box often, at least once every 40-60 thousand kilometers, then it will pass more than 200 thousand, and the amount of restoration work will not be very large: repair of the gas turbine engine, replacement of friction clutches and something little things. But usually the operation is much tougher - frequent races with gas to the floor (remember, this is a Quattro), irregular oil changes at intervals of 60-100 thousand kilometers or “before impacts”, plus constant overheating of the box. It is surprising that the design can withstand at least 150-200 thousand kilometers in such conditions. But the price of repair ... To the replacement of friction clutches and linings of the gas turbine engine, the repair of the box bushings is added - they are broken by dirty oil with vibrations, plus the repair or replacement of mechatronics. The mechatronics unit costs 300 thousand rubles, repairs - from 15 thousand, but the typical price of intervention is about 50-70 thousand rubles. The quality of the repair at the same time - "how lucky." And even a purchase by a competent owner often no longer saves from expenses - switching to a regular “partial” oil change at every or every second maintenance, installing a reinforced automatic transmission radiator with a filter will only prolong the agony. If the oil pressure in the automatic transmission is already low, then wear will proceed at an accelerated pace, and any “acceleration to the floor” will sharply reduce it. And, unfortunately, boxes with runs already from 80-100 thousand begin to act up: shocks during switching, failures, illogical work. The problem is not always easy to localize, many cars drive like this for years. Fortunately, the adaptive capabilities of the control system are great and the dealer scanner with the new firmware works wonders: often already clearly dying designs go to the last spurt and extend another 30-50 thousand km of completely normal operation after adaptations. Both the CVT and the ZF 6HP automatic often break the owners with their attitude. You need to understand that a powerful car is bought in order to use its power, and not to stand in traffic jams. The CVT provides a minimum number of failures with careful operation and a stable resource, and the ZF “automatic” allows the driver a little more, provides better dynamics, better tolerates hard accelerations, but will also not endure bullying for a long time.
Motors
Audi tried to make a big car dynamic and economical. Therefore, almost all engines of that period were with direct fuel injection, as light as possible and unified. Among the A6 engines, only three gasoline ones stand out from the general row. It is a 2.0 TFSI (BPJ), 3.0 V6 MPI (BBJ) and 4.2 V8 MPI (BAT) turbocharged inline-four. All these are the last motors of the old series related to EA113. Three-liter is an outlet for Audi owners, it is powerful, 218 hp. with., with a good sound, and reliable - not at all prone to oily appetite. The larger V8 4.2 essentially differs from it only in an extra two cylinders, a tighter layout and frankly excess power. The supercharged two-liter is not so reliable, more often suffers from an oil appetite, but is simpler in design and, as a result, cheaper to operate. It has an excellent margin for boosting: let me remind you that the same engine was in fact on the Golf R VI, and there they removed 300-450 hp from it. with., which is comparable to the impact of the V10 on the S6.
All engines - with a combination of a belt and chain in the timing drive, cast-iron sleeves with inexpensive spare parts and a minimum of problem areas. Of course, turbocharging at 2.0 requires a quality service, and direct injection of the first generation is rather whimsical, but there are adapters for more modern high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors, high-quality firmware. As a result, of the gasoline engines, these three are rightly considered the best. With regular replacement of the timing, consumables, ignition modules and maintaining the control system in good condition, the number of problems is minimal, the resource is obtained far beyond 300 thousand. A series of engines 2.4 MPI (BDW), 2.8 FSI (CCDA / BDX / CCEA), 3.2 FSI (AUK), 4.2 FSI (BVJ), 5.2 FSI (BXA) and 3.0 TFSI (CAJA) essentially differ only in the number of cylinders and piston stroke . They have a unified cylinder diameter of 84.5 mm, and the younger engine is distinguished by a simple distributed injection. These motors also have common problems.
The Audi S6 is an all-wheel drive sports car.
In August 1995, sports modifications of the Audi A6 sedan and station wagon appeared, which were called the S6 and S6 Avant, respectively. These models are based on the Audi A6 Quattro all-wheel drive platform. In the autumn of 1999, updated sports equipment S6 / S6 Avant appeared.
The S6 differs from the A6 with an additional emblem on the grille, a 20 mm lower body position due to the preloaded suspension, low-profile tires and light-alloy 17- or 18-inch wheels. The ground clearance of the S6 has been reduced by 10 mm compared to the A6, the front wheel track has become wider by 38, and the rear by 21 mm. The wheels respond to the slightest bumps in the road, and the driver must hold the steering wheel to keep the Audi moving straight ahead.
Rigid sports suspension, Recaro seats, discs, enhanced braking system define the sporty character of the S6. At the choice of the buyer, a mechanical 6-speed gearbox or a 5-band Tiptronic automatic transmission can be installed on cars.
The Audi S6 Avant is a sports wagon that combines the qualities of 3 Audi cars: sporty dynamics, wagon utility and the reliability of an all-wheel drive SUV. The powerful S6 Avant can accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and reach speeds in excess of 230 km/h. The all-wheel drive system distributes torque so competently that it is almost impossible to cause wheel slip at start. In normal mode, the distribution of torque between the axles occurs in a 50/50 ratio.
Excellent handling is ensured by the aluminum sports suspension and quattro all-wheel drive system, which gives unsurpassed road holding and impressive cornering control, regardless of the quality of the road surface.
The interior of an Audi car is extremely comfortable and well insulated from street sounds and drafts. The climate control system and heated seats provide you with a pleasant ride and protect you from the elements. The salon is trimmed with soft materials. The seats themselves are very comfortable and physiological, despite the fact that the pillows are quite soft.
S6 doors have strong locks and close and open with force. Interior panels are made of natural wood combined with chrome and high quality plastics. All knobs and buttons are very easy to press.
The S6 has xenon headlights equipped with wipers, fog lights, heated electric mirrors.
The safety of the driver and passengers is provided by airbags mounted in the front and side panels of the Audi car. And even if all-wheel drive does not save you from trouble (or, on the contrary, causes them), Audi's stability control system (ESP) will help you avoid accidents.
If the standard equipment is not enough for you, you can additionally equip your Audi with Audi with rear seat heating, with Audi with GPS navigation, a hands-free mobile phone and parking sensors.
If the rear seatbacks in the Audi S6 Avant are raised, the volume of cargo space is 1 cubic meter. Lowering the backs of the rear seats, you can increase the cargo space up to 2 cubic meters.
Since 1995, the Audi S6 has been equipped with the engine that it inherited from its predecessor, the S4: a 230-horsepower 2.2-liter V6 (AAN). Since 1999, a highly accelerated 4.2-liter V8 gasoline engine has been installed, developing 340 hp.
The excellent dynamic characteristics of the S6 model are combined with the highest level of comfort, active and passive safety.
The premiere of the third generation Audi S6 took place in 2006 as part of the international auto show that opened in Detroit. S6 is a long-awaited sports modification of the already familiar A6. The car is available both in a sedan version and in a station wagon version - S6 Avant. The latter combines exceptional versatility and ease of use with a pronounced sporty character. The difference in weight between the sedan and station wagon is only 60 kilograms.
The Audi S6 is a car that is excellent in almost every way, representing the latest incarnation of Audi's sporting philosophy, and is designed to strengthen and continue the glorious tradition of the brand.
You can distinguish the Audi S6 from the base models by a slightly different front bumper with LED fog lamps integrated into it, as well as S6 nameplates on the grille and trunk lid and gleaming metal side mirror housings. Everything is designed in the style and traditions of cars with the letter S. Elegant touches emphasize the masculinity of the look. The main thing is the arches extended by 14 mm, which unobtrusively adjusted the silhouette of the car. In the arches - 18-inch wheels with a special design (may be 19-inch)
The front part has acquired a new false radiator grille with large cells and vertical bars finished in aluminum. Expanded door moldings. Behind - four pipes of the exhaust system and a spoiler-edge on the trunk.
Under the hood of the 2007 Audi S6, a 5.2-liter V10 engine is installed, borrowed from the previously presented Audi S8, with a capacity of 435 hp. (320 kW) at 6,800 rpm. The maximum torque of 540 Nm is available in the speed range of 3,000 - 4,000 rpm. From zero to hundred kilometers per hour, the S6 sedan will be able to accelerate in 5.2 seconds, and its top speed will be limited to 250 kilometers per hour.
The engine sends its power to all four wheels via a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission that allows manual shifting with paddles on the steering wheel.
For reliable adhesion of all wheels to the road in any weather cataclysm, the magic quattro and electronic stability control systems ESP plus anti-slip ASR are responsible. It is noteworthy that ESP and ASR can be disabled with a single key.
The new quattro generation with asymmetrical dynamic torque distribution gives this luxury car even more dynamism. All-wheel drive is based on the good old Torsen. Torque distribution is 40/60 in favor of the rear axle. Slightly more torque at the rear axle ensures particularly dynamic handling.
When road conditions change, such as when entering a wet or slippery surface or other type of road surface, the fully mechanical differential responds without delay. Depending on the specific road situation, the maximum tractive effort transmitted to the front axle is 65%, and to the rear axle 85%.
The chassis has been seriously upgraded. First of all, the main suspension units have been replaced with aluminum ones. Thus, the unsprung masses are reduced. Shock absorbers and springs have been replaced. The chassis settings of the S6 are tighter than those of the "sport package" for the A6.
Salon S6, trimmed with leather, aluminum and birch wood, once again proves that the manufacturer Audi deservedly enjoys a reputation for creating the best car interiors. The interior trim used decorative inserts made of carbon fiber. The material used in the instrument panel of the S6 is another innovation: the anthracite surface has a metallic effect. The anthracite color also dominates the other decorative details of the instrument panel. The center console, on the contrary, is made in black.
The tunnel between the front seats looks especially impressive. The small three-spoke steering wheel is perfectly proportioned, and the transmission control paddles behind it are easily accessible. In the center of the panel is a color display of the MMI system. The engine can be started with a key or a button to the left of the “automatic” selector. The engine is turned off with a separate key - this is customary for Audi. ESP is turned off by long (more than three seconds) pressing the corresponding button. If you press it briefly once, only the ASR traction control will turn off.
The new sports seats are upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara. All necessary adjustments are present. The seats provide excellent support during aggressive maneuvers, and the rear seats fold down to increase cargo space if the usual 0.45 m² isn't enough. At the service of those sitting behind the curtains on the windows, the rear one is electrically driven, personal air nozzles.
Standard equipment includes sports suspension, tire pressure monitoring, modified brakes, unique front and rear fascias, bi-xenon adaptive high-discharge headlights, automatic climate control, leather seats (front heated and electrically adjustable), stereo system with CD changer and 10 speakers, an on-board computer with a color display and a rain sensor. Among the standard elements are also: the ESP stability control system (combines ABS, EBV, ASR, EDS), Brake Assist, side and front airbags for the driver and front passenger. The list of options offered included a navigation system, adaptive cruise control, a rear parking sensor with a camera, satellite radio, a sliding sunroof and heated rear seats.
