Risky Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm lookjing at a early C6 Avant (3.2 petrol) and wondered if there are any typical issues with that model that I might want to check out when I see it. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Water in the left rear well, check the rear wash wiper works and doesn't spray water side the car. If it doesn't work, check for water running from the left boot hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Why water in LH rear well? Is this a known issue with A/C condenser drain by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Nope, only on the avant, The rear washer pipe breaks and pisses water all over the expensive MMI parts, Audi have a fix for the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks, was goign to check the washers anyway and it's annoying if you have to buy a full set of blades first off. On the C5 one thing you could miss is the wing mirror control knob being snapped off. I bought one once and missed that and lost mine in another car. I think the problem is related to dogs and their leads leads.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Don't be be silly now, it's a major expense if it is faulty. It's the first thing that popped into my head.

Risky Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I took a look last night. The MMI was working, though I didn't actually turn on the radio or CD. Rear parking sensor wasn't. Funny though it had a new gearbox at 15k. Is that just random stuff with the Tiptronic and it was just unlucky or do you get much trouble with them?

gupsterg Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Tiptronic is supposed to be more reliable than Multitronic... May have just been a bad one... I know someone who had a Multitronic on an 09 A6 2.0 TDi that was replaced at 30K under warranty, he owned from new... But a lot of people got Multitronic without issues as well... Maybe we just hear about the bad ones on a forum... You would think Audi would drop it if bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 There was also an issue with the climate, kicks out only hot air from the drivers side vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
