Current engine has about 45,000 miles on it - still runs great! Bought the A6 in 2009 and that engine had issues on the way home - found a great deal on a new factory crate engine - with the turbos and accessories - and had an Audi dealer install. Drove good for few years then parked until I could clear an emissions code and recently gave up on O2 sensor install (and cracking the spider hose).
A6 does run and drive - I drove home from garage for 45 minutes. Is it safe to drive - I don't know! I got it home without issues other than revs some before engaging - something new after sitting.
The biggest current problem is that there is no communication with the transmission control module or CAN bus. Now I thought I had communication with the CAN bus via vcds in the past,
but it is what it is - potential wiring harness issue.
Good stuff:
New battery - 1 month old
New Key (programmed) with new remote (never programmed) - if car for parts, then oh well.
Rear ball joints - or some part of rear suspension $1000+ repair right before parking it for 3 years
passenger side O2 sensor replaced
3 near new Goodyear Assurance tires, 1 bad.
Other broken/worn stuff - only that I am aware off or remember - no guarantees even if accurate,
Power steering rack, outer tie rods.
Upper links - both sides.
Hydraulic motor mounts.
Propshaft seal.
Spider hose.
Passenger side front fan.
passenger window actuator.
clear coat pealing rear passenger quarter.
$1200 cash only. Local pickup McKinney TX, no shipping!
