Reliability of A6 2006

A6bk · 05-01-2008, 09:09 AM

Any 2006 A6 Audi owners could you please chime in?
I have never bought/owned an Audi before but I love the look of the Audi A6. I was hoping to hear your feedbacks about the car. I've heard some horror stories of having to run to the dealership for multiple minor electrical glitches for the 05 A6. (First gen)
Is that just a rumor?

Please let me know

Thanks in advance

to be more specific, did anyone have problems with ignition coils being short?
or frequent check engine lights?

on the v engines the coil packs have been known to falter but not as common as the original issue with the 1.8 turbo vag engine

so a C6 3.2 quattro engine going to have many problems with the coil?

Good choice,very good engine and no real issues to be concerned about if any at all.The coil packs can fail but there pretty reliable,if they do fail replace them all in one go.
