if i was to tow a manual transmission quattro with all wheels down but in neutral, would it cause any problems? I understand towing for long distance may cause problems because heat may build up in the transmission. But say intervals of 10km at a time. |

Very nice car you got. I intend to uograde my C5 A6 to this C6 family soon. I was going to go for the biggest turbocharged 4 cylinder, but recently i got smoked by a v6 accord and Avalon. Their acceleration was frustrating. (4 cylinder because relative ease of repairs, but then why be scared of repairs if im power hungry? Why expect expensive repairs anyway with proper maintenance and a good buy). Mind made up on a V6 already. Swapped out e brake button? Like you changed the lever to a button? Or why did you change it? KA24DETT: |

samir101ng: Nice car. Only thing i didn't like was the lack of rear AC vents. I understand the ones under the front seats would do anyway. In this clime if you park outdoor for an hour and get back into your car you need your face cooled asap. Im still torn between the A6 and the A4 anyway. |

Siena: Bruh! Thats some serious drifting. I've been trying to 'minidrift' on my FWD A6 lol, since its going out of my hands soon. Safely of course. Heavy car. Always oversteering. But I'll just get this cheap toks 316i someone just put up for sale nearby for my adrenaline needs and cop a B6 A6 later. I just don't know a 1549cc naturally aspirated engine would feel to me behind the steering. |

XerXesNG: Bro, 05-06 e-brake button does not have the chrome-ends but the 09 has the chrome ends so I swapped it . It's a subtle difference. Not major. The only major swap I did was the MMI interface, I bought one from the RS6. They are nicer but expensive Bro, the V6 C6 is not that incredibly fast but still faster than the accords no doubt. I went for the V8 because I do not want to deal with the carbon cleaning thats required with the V6. I don't know about that turbo 4cylinder, that must be an european specs. Sienna can chime in on that. |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 9:10am On Apr 28, 2015 |
Carbon cleaning? I didn't know about that. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/336352-Audi-FSI-Engine-Carbon-Build-up-Megathread But it seems to be with all FSI engines. KA24DETT: |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by KA24DETT(m): 9:14am On Apr 28, 2015 |
XerXesNG: Yeah.. its huge. can cost upwards of 1k for a session and i believe you have to do it once in 2 years or thereabout. Too much headache for me |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 9:17am On Apr 28, 2015 |
Maybe thats why i see a lot of audi V6s at my mechanics workshop with some engine issue. I need to use at least a V6 next, but I'll run into this issue more frequently because i do a lot of miles per week. And that 4.2L V8? Well...the cost will be on the high side. And the 4.2L V8 FSI doesn't have that problem? Interesting. Do you use your car in Nigeria? KA24DETT: |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by KA24DETT(m): 9:24am On Apr 28, 2015 |
XerXesNG: 05-07 A6 4.2 dont have the same problem.. I am shipping it to Nigeria in few weeks to spend its remaining life there |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 9:39am On Apr 28, 2015 |
I think doing that carbon cleanup will cost a lot less here though. KA24DETT: |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by KA24DETT(m): 3:29pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
XerXesNG: That's if they can do it right .. It's not easy as it sounds . U have to loosen the top end and clean the cylinders . |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 5:15pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
But you don't have to dismount the engine Or replace any parts right? Lol they'll do it here for 150$ or less. Except at a standard auto shop though. I've come to understand when to go to a standard workshop and when to go to a roadside mechanic. KA24DETT: |

chuksmoney: That is about 97 degrees C. Not too hot, these cars run as hot as 100 degrees C if driven under arduous conditions. The blinking light is puzzling though. Does your coolant actually boil? I would be inclined to read live data on a decent OBD tool, an see exactly what your coolant is running at. It could well be a faulty instrument cluster. 1 Like |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by KA24DETT(m): 11:15pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
XerXesNG: No u dont have to dismount the engine... but u have to scrub off the carbon on each cylinder and it takes time considering u gona be working on 6 cylinders |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by jonnyp(m): 10:34pm On Apr 29, 2015 |
@siena pls I want to buy passat 2009 nigeria use..can u tell me more about the car |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by redcliff: 9:20pm On May 01, 2015 |
Siena: What is the implication of this light? |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by Nobody: 10:05pm On May 01, 2015 |
redcliff: That is the transmission's equivalent of a Check Engine Light (CEL). The transmission is in limp mode. |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by redcliff: 10:12pm On May 01, 2015 |
Siena: What does limp node mean? Does it mean a total transmission change? |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by pinetulips(m): 2:34am On May 02, 2015 |
@Siena. Pls tel me more about Audi a4 2010. v6 AWD. WILL A BUDGET OF 650-700K PURCHASE ONE? I AM A NEWBIE. MY DREAM CAR |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by Nobody: 8:01am On May 02, 2015 |
pinetulips: 700K will buy you a stolen 2010 Audi A4 Quattro 3.2 V6. Or an engine and transmission, you'll just have to save up for a bodyshell, then wheels, interior, glass etc. Even for one who isn't car savvy, does 700K sound plausible for a 4-year-old Audi A4 B8? |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by Nobody: 8:36am On May 02, 2015 |
Siena: Epic reply of the century Even A 99 camry can't be bought with such amount except na theft or Nigerian abused. |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by pinetulips(m): 9:10am On May 02, 2015 |
Siena: Haba Siena no vex oh. So which decent model of cars in the Audi family can be bought at 700k. I for love Audi 80 awd full option(tiger face)....what is the price range for this car |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by chucky234(m): 11:08pm On May 02, 2015 |
pinetulips:Add 100k to the 700k then call me, I'll get you a clean 1999/2000 Audi A4 or A6 1 Like |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by eromspete(m): 8:49am On May 04, 2015 |
NO Oga. That money wont but you your dream car. Audis are not that cheap. I've go one and she's a beauty pinetulips: |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by eromspete(m): 8:51am On May 04, 2015 |
There's mine 2008 Audi A4, B7 S-Line Edition 2.0L, 4 Cyl Engine. 7 Speed tiptronic with sport mode... Love her to bits and will only consider selling at the right price
|
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 9:44am On May 04, 2015 |
eromspete: Did you say consider selling? Is your 2.0L engine turbocharged? Is fuel injection stratified? (FSI) How much would you want to sell it? |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 9:59am On May 04, 2015 |
Would be nice to have a well moderated Audi Whatsapp group with well behaved members like the BMW owners do. I don't know if siena will be open to this idea but without you in the group, it wouldn't hold much water to be honest. I don't mind being the host or 'inviter' if thats where the stress lies. |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by eromspete(m): 10:00am On May 04, 2015 |
American spec cars have FSI Engines and turbos as default. This is European thus its not an FSI Engine. Also it does not have turbo. You will not have the cam follower issue that affects FSI engines XerXesNG: |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 10:12am On May 04, 2015 |
eromspete: Well noted. You're not power hungry are you? By the way, FSI engines are becoming scarier to me. Carbon build up, now cam follower issues? |
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 10:14am On May 04, 2015 |
jonnyp: You can get enough information about the car on the internet. Research first then people can help with whatever you do not understand. |
