Hi everyone. I frequent the B5 S4 section and am seriously considering buying a 2009 A6 3.0t Prestige w/ 80K this weekend, seems like a clean 2 owner car. However, I've been doing a ton of research to see what problem areas there are with these cars. So far I've amassed the following main ones:
- Oil consumption
- Plastic coolant pipes
- Oil consumption (appears mostly PCV and oil separator related)
- Valve cover gaskets, timing cover leaks
- Vacuum pump leak
Am I missing anything else important? Thought I'd check with you guys who're much better experts than I before taking the leap
Edit: Now own said car, this will be an update thread for anyone interested in it.
