Audi A6 Sedan Engine problems by year

vehicle was put into gear and lost propulsion . Then all adas warning lights illuminated. This is the second time this has happened

Timing chain broke while driving home parked car immediately.

Very common problem - "ignition module defective" code at 190,000 miles. Temporary repair of the issue with dtc reset. Full logging of car data via obd-ii port reveals zero faults while car is running, and diagnostic traffic on the can bus at startup show zero faults. Once key is inserted in dash and turned to "accessory", module faults out without any traffic sent/received. Happens intermittently and dealership states this is a known problem. Dealership-only repair, per multiple audi service technicians, audi...

Engineering flaw lead to extraordinary expense replacing the entire steering column instead of just the module that failed. Doing some reviews on-line - seems to be a well known and common problem but audi does not want to do anything about it - http://www.Audiworld.Com/forums/a6-s6-c6-platform-discussion-58/transponder-steering-column-2834070/ millage listed as approx since car is in the shop now.

Car stuttering. Depresses throttle to attempt to alleviate problem. Gas pedal stuck at full acceleration and maximum rpm. Set car into neutral and coasted to decelerate. After numerous attempts to disengage accelerator pedal, it finally sprung back from full throttle. *Tr

Driving 55 mph on the express way and the engine shut off completely. The car stalled until it came to a complete stop. The esp light and engine light came on. Restarted the car and problem continue 4 times. After the 4th attempt, I managed to get the car to the side of the road. After waiting several minutes, I restarted the car. The car still feel at times as if its going to stall. *Tr

After thirty minutes, ac vent on passenger side starts blowing very hot air. Ten minutes later the ac vent on driver's side does the same. A short while later the two center vents blow hot air. The next day is all starts over. Audi sent out a technical bulletin tb 2013883/1 doing a mea culpa stating it was their fault. When they manufactured it they got metal shavings from the engine into the ac pump. But they are not willing to fix it. I have an estimate for $1300. *Tr

On 1/25/2007 car was cold in garage. Would not start on first or second attempts. On third attempt the car turned over but the epc light illuminated and the entire vehicle was heavily shaking and rocking back and forth. No power to drive the vehicle. Had it towed to the dealership (schaumburg audi). Dealer said the computer recorded multiple cylinder misfires but that there was nothing else they could find wrong. Car was kept overnight and returned to me when no further problems could be found and the event could not be replicated. Nothing was actually repaired and no parts replaced. *Jb
