Elmak: Good day Siena,

Seasons greetings, Trust work and the family are fine.

I need your professional advice, i am looking to buy a 2004 Audi A6 C6 2.4l V6, However, I am not sure about the car reliability and performance, even though my mechanics first advice was that the parts are expensive, but for a well-designed car not too common in Nigeria like that I expect that.

Siena, my question go thus:



i. Is the car good and reliable?

ii. What are the maintenance tips you can advise and where can I get the manual for the car.

Thanks

redcliff: I dont have a particular model in mind. Maybe 03 or so. Wanna get it for my mother. Im definitely not going for anything v6. I ve started putting my eyes on the s3 as it has alot more prestige than the a3.

Hey siena, how is it going? I was thinking, whats the reliability of audi a6 1999 model. I think I am begining to like it and its seems to be cheaper than the a3 or am i not seeing well. I am seeing good deals for it here in Schweiz. Are they all V6 engines? what up with parts also? is it an expensive car to maintain? Thanks..

Siena: Hey bud!

All's well with me and mine.

The '99 Audi A6 C5 is reliable enough. It's mechanically similar to the Audi A4 and Volkswagen Passat, just bigger. Automatics can fail, manuals are very robust.

Brand new, the A6 is a lot more expensive than the A3, but depreciates faster. So a 7-year-old A6 could be bought for the same (or less) money than an A3 of the same year. I prefer the A6 though, medium-size hatchbacks with transverse engines don't appeal to me in the slightest.

The Audi A6 C5 is available with I4, V6 and V8 gasoline engines, or I4 and V6 diesels. If it's a Quattro, the I4 isn't an option, leaving you with V6 or V8 engines. No great loss, the 1.8T is a slug in a car as heavy as the A6 anyway.

Parts are readily available, and maintenance is not expensive. At least, you're not in Nigeria. The most expensive single item that is prone to failure is the ZF automatic / tiptronic transmission. The rest is built to last.

Lol. I actually plan to ship it home o and the one i saw is manual. I like manual cars but my friends are asking me what kind of person i am. Actually, when i got my first car, Mk3 from switzerland, I was in a hurry to just get any transmission and the manual was readily available at the time and I had a hard time getting used to it but when I did, It was a blessing. Lol. Since i would be getting it or my mother, maybe I should still stick with the auto although I am sure she wont mind also but I want it to be a surprise until the vehicle is in our compound. This ZF automatic/tiptronic transmission bla bla, I would google it up to know more about it. She's not an everyday driver so I don't think it would spoil quickly in her possession.

If you makeup your mind on an a6, come join me here. I would give you the best deals.

abatically: Its better u replace with the same engine even if it costs 200k. Trust me there are other hidden expenses that will be associated with engine swap that the mechanic wont tell u. If u buy a Siena engine for say 90k, at the end of the whole swap u might end up spending like 150k and u still might not get the result u want. Plus u might lose other functionality that makes ur car a murano like 4wd, etc. What about the gearbox, does it fit? Ur murano is probably cvt transmission. This is not a landrover Freelander that everyone knows has a bad angine. My advice, save money and buy the exact engine that came with the car, it would save u lots of stress.

Anyother advice other than this you take, you would regret it big time

Osa0: @redcliff pls I need a BMW 318i *1995* model,with a stick shift,with a standard air conditional system obviously. What's d best price that will land it in lagos.keep d good job.

You should be able to see a good one for 1k4 euros. Shipping is 700euros

ONWARDBABA: nice cost total cost

Cost of minivan 4500 chf
Cost of shipping 1500chf. This price would get the car in nigeria

femmy2010: N280k,N300k and N350k respectively.

femmy2010: What shipping line are they coming on?

I think grimaldi.i am not sure and i have not put it for shipment yet. I am hoping to do that on saturday..can i have a rough estimate and can i have your email also?

Whats there to be ashamed about ? Leave yourself the way you are. You dont know that expanded veins allows proper flow of blood across the body? I dont know why you cant be proud of your build. I also have it but i really dont care. It wont stop me from getting miss world if i have to.

[quote author=wwwkaycom]Redcliff, thanks for this good job. I like Volkswagen Passat, 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 engine, 4 cylinders, some have 5 cylinders, turbo charger, 1999-2002 model. Think they call it B5 or so. Tell me what it will cost to land it in Lagos port. Thanks[/quote]Hey, have you been able to check the website? Il suggest you check autoscout.ch and define your parameters. Is it manual, auto, wagon or limousine? I have a 99 passat already in nigeria. Its manual and its very neat from switzerland. It has done 213k already. I can let that go for 680k. You would see better cars than in switzerland than germany

Leave him alone, do u fink all d churches in nigeria are doing Gods will, lots of people out there are talking about chris okotie's church and from what I read on nairaland d church is nt different from a cult so what are u saying. I beg shut d Bleep up if u av sumfin irrelevant to say and stop calling our attentions on stupid trash that u say here smellos. That is olamide's style is either u leave him alone or u keep listening to his music. If u don't wnt to listen to his music den listen to another music. Stop saying rubbish about him again mtchewwwwww. Ode

Samsantos9: Pls i wanna learn how to do it what is your website?

Nigerians want to learn everything. What do you want to use the knowlegde for? U think by just being taught a helicopter you can do wonders? No! If you dont know the fundamentals of engineering you are headed no where. Go and learn engineering that how you can learn to build a helicopter

martha: Ur misquoting him... He didnt directly say hell or adam or eve didnt exist...

Why would he come out to try to confuse people in the first place. If one person you already seen can misquote him, do you know how many millions would? Invluding the ones who know the truth but refuse to accept it? They have finally found a reason not to even believe anymore. Anyway, pope is just but a man and when he dies, he would experience his own after life
