As many of you know, I own a 2000 Audi A6 2.7t Quattro with a six speed manual transmission. I love it to bits. It may not be the fastest, certainly not the most reliable and not the overall best car on the road. But I still love it for what it is. Reliability, doesn’t matter as long as you’re enjoying yourself. Remember that.

Shown: My interior, the first day I got the car. The leather has been significantly cleaned up and the mats have been replaced with all weather ones.

I miss my allroad. That car was the best.

You’ve only owned it like 2 months right? What other reliability issues are you having? Or are you just preparing for long-term 2.7T ownership?

In the next couple months :)

My fuel economy has been abysmal recently, I’ll be scheduling with you soon!

I need 02 Sensors and my ABS module is getting rebuilt.

That’s about it though.

That ABS module thing does not sound inexpensive.

“Reliability doesn’t matter as long as you’re enjoying yourself” ABC has something to say about that...

Ah, that’s not so bad. At least you love what you have. That is, until you trade it in for an Allroad next year.

A6 should be getting between maybe 15-25 mpgs right?

Did you settle on some wheels?

If you can manage that I should be able to take on an xj8

Yes!

They’ll need spacers though, I’ll have to sort that out myself though.

17/24 is what it’s rated for. I drive rather conservatively 99% of the time, but in 800 miles, I’ve gone through like 5 or 6 tanks of gas.

Lulz, I still REALLY want an Allroad.

That’s going to look great!

Haha, it’s safe to say I’m reasonably excited.

You know grey and green go well together. Have you thought about going with a gunmetal on them?

jkm7680 > Spaceball-Two 10/24/2015 at 21:58

Exactly what I was thinking haha.

I was thinking red calipers, gunmetal or black wheels and green.

Perfect!

Alsssoooo, did you tint your windows?

Spaceball-Two > jkm7680 10/24/2015 at 22:07

1

Yup

jkm7680 > Spaceball-Two 10/24/2015 at 22:08

Now did you have a window regulator out while that was happening?

Because I want tint, but have a window regulator out....... I’m not sure how that process works. :P

Spaceball-Two > jkm7680 10/24/2015 at 22:10

No I tinted before the passenger side window went out. Now the drivers side is acting wonky.

Oh fun.

How hard are they to replace? I think it may just be a connection because the speaker on that side doesn’t work either. I ripped the door panel off and that was easy enough, but tracking down what the issue is was a little errrrrrr complicated.

Spaceball-Two > jkm7680 10/24/2015 at 22:19

It’s not hard but it’s just a pain in the ass. You have to pull the glass.

Funny enough I watched a Youtube video and my dad and I did it in his garage one afternoon. Buy some extra clips. You’ll break some.

That sounds fun.

I really hope the other three don’t go out. They probably will. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Thanks though, hah.

It’s not.

I’m in automotive hell right now. The Corolla has two bad struts, needs two tires and is throwing a code for what I don’t know yet. The A4 has the traction control light coming on and off by itself and the exhaust fan has a bad bearing so it whines at start up until I get on the gas.

I’ve got some serious driveway changes coming.

I get 15-20 in my 2.8 Quattro.
