    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good looking car & Audi badge but please do not buy the 1.8T!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Flawed engine expensive to run avoid high milers pay more and buy a diesel instead

    **Edited version with much more detail,hope this is more helpful thanks** I never thought I would have to say anything bad about a quality built car like this Audi,but here goes please read on and learn from my mistake!!!. True story,believe it or not and I am sure many will agree with me on this one as I found out later surfing the Web that this is a common problem that Audi would like not to admit to.I bought one of these as a 2nd work horse car,it was a 1.8i Turbo powered petrol version 1999 V reg car with business miles of around 100,000 miles.It was a good looking car,popular silver ... more

    4 Stars Better than Passat 4Motion Estate 28/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value, quality, a practical package with a nice hint of sportiness

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No CD as standard.

    Audi A6 1.8 T Quattro I have been fairly loyal to VAG over the years, so when my previous (company provided) Saab 900 came to the end of its lease I decided to have a look at either the VW Passat or Audi A6 Avant. I was looking for something "interesting" and yet practical. I have a young family (two under-fives) plus a dog. I thought - hmm, a sporty estate might do the trick. So we had a test drive in a Passat 2.8 V6 4motion Estate. Now, I used to have a VW Corrado VR6. An absolutely fantastic motor - v fast, great fun and fairly practical. This was sold when the Saab 900 arrived. The Saab ... more

    5 Stars Quality and usefulness 30/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Style, quality feel, admiring glances, 7 seater option

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive dealer network

    I am now on my second A6 Avant 1.8T so I guess you could say that speaks for itself, but company car policy dictates I drive an Audi. I bought the first one in Germany and imported it and was treated like traitor by Audi (UK). Unfortunately, I had plenty of dealings with them as the car filled up with water inside every time it rained. This in turn found its way into the electrics and all sorts of problems ensued. It took nearly two years to get fixed and in the end I had to drive it back to where I bought it....in Germany. Thanks again Audi UK. I have just taken delivery of a UK spec'd and ... more

    5 Stars Audi A6 Avant 1.8T 20V Owner - 2001 31/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Smooth, roomy , excellent build quality - very long lasting interior.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Audi dealer network expensive

    I purchased my vehicle with 60K on the clock and had untroubled driving until 92K. Then the oil pump failed - a huge warning sign appears in the drivers information panel. Unlike some other reviewers who continued driving (and being an engineer), I immediately stopped. The oil pump and the water pump (these also have problems around 90K) were replaced for arount £320.I found a brilliant 3rd party Audi specialist and they are a fraction of the price of main line dealerships. Quality serviceing and quality oil (I only use Castrol Edge - £80 per fill up) are very important to this engine! I'm now ... more
