2002 Audi A6 Premium Sedan 4-door 3.ol Not Running on 2040-cars
Raymore, Missouri, United States
|
I have a 2002 Audi A6, that is not running, for sale. I haven't had the car diagnosed, but I think the problem is the fuel pump. Car turns over, and every now and then sounds like there is a little combustion happening, but not enough to start. I am giving no guarantee that the problem is the fuel pump, this is just a guess. The car was running fine, then all of the sudden it wouldn't start and has been sitting in my driveway ever since. The rest of the bad is as follows. The transmission has the notorious flashing PRNDS that is common to this CVT transmission. The car drove fine, but you couldn't use the sport shift feature, and had very little power in reverse. There are many shops that you can send the TCM to, and they will fix the board and send it back to you (approx. $240 including shipping on ebay), but you need to be able to pull the TCM, which means you need to pull the transmission housing (if you buy the service for the TCM rebuild, they will send you instructions on how to pull the TCM). Not difficult if you know your way around these cars, but I just never had the time. There is also a small tear in one of the CV boots. I have a brand new set of CV joints at my house, and if you are handy, this is a very easy replacement. The car has a few very minor hail dings (less then 10) and one small dent in the drivers side fender and the center console cupholder is broken (should be about $20 from Audi). The windshield was cracked when someone tried to replace the rearview mirror, and will need to be replaced ($275 if you have safelite come to you and replace it).
Now for the good. This car was fully loaded from the factory. It came with the Bose stereo system with the 6 disc in dash CD player, which sounds amazing still. It has the leather heated seats, which are in great condition. It has the power moonroof and the A/C blew ice cold when the car was running. The car has the Xenon HID Projector lights from the factory. I just replaced the front 2 tires, and the full size spare also has a good tire on it, but the rear tires should be replaced soon. All the brakes have been done within the last 2 years. This car was very fun to drive, and I hate to sell it, but I work 2 jobs and have a family, and just don't have the time to fix it. You will need to arrange for a tow, or come with a trailer. If you want to take the time to part it out, it should be very lucritive. The engine with similiar miles sells for over $2,000 and the Transmission can sell for over $1500. The headlights sell for around $500-$600 for the set. I see the leather seats sell for $600-$800 regularly, and each door can sell for at least $200. Stereo usually goes anywhere from $200-$400 and each of the little plastic trim pieces inside sell for $20-$300. |

Audi Prologue concept goes for A9, we give it a ten
Wed, 19 Nov 2014If you've been waiting for Audi to roll out a new design language, you need wait no longer as Ingolstadt is displaying just that at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year with the Prologue concept you see here.
Penned by Audi's new design chief Marc Lichte, the Prologue is earmarked to introduce a shift (if not quite a complete change) in design direction for the German automaker. The trapezoidal grille sits wider and lower than on existing models, with the wedge-shaped laser headlights positioned higher above new air intakes with blade elements. The profile rests balanced across its wheelbase to visually emphasize the all-wheel drive that is part of Audi's DNA, with flared arches inspired by the legendary Ur-Quattro. The rear section is inspired by yachts, angled forward to suggest motion, with a narrow strip of LED taillights, full-width diffuser element and twin trapezoidal exhaust tips.
Inside it's all light and surgically clean, with a horizontal dashboard integrating four touchscreen displays running its full width. The system even allows the passenger to select the route for the navigation system and swipe it on over to the driver's display. The headrests on the rear seats and the "sound spoiler" on the rear shelf deploy only when needed, unobstructing the rear view when not.
Audi recalls 2013-2014 S6 and S7 models over fuel line leak
Mon, 28 Oct 2013If you've been driving a late model Audi S6 or S7, first of all, good for you. Secondly, you should be expecting a call from your local dealer as the Volkswagen Group and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall.
The problem apparently involves a potential leak in the fuel line, which, as any mechanic or McGuyver fan could tell you, is not such a good thing. As NHTSA points out, it "may result in a fire."
The recall involves 3,594 vehicles in these United States, specifically model-year 2013 and 2014 Audi S6 and S7 models equipped with the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. (It does not, however, seem to affect the S8 or any of the Bentleys that are powered by the same engine.) Owners of said cars can expect to be contacted regarding how the problem will be fixed. In the meantime you can read the official notice below.
Felix Baumgartner parachutes into racing at N?rburgring 24
Tue, 11 Mar 2014There are plenty of commonalities to be found between astronauts and racing drivers. Both are daredevils by definition (if not by trade), both subject themselves to unfathomable G forces and both face very real risks when strapped into machinery that makes the very best use of advanced propulsion, aerodynamics and composite construction technologies. Yet you don't find much crossover between the two. There was talk of Niki Lauda, himself an experienced pilot, training to go into space with Virgin Galactic (which itself was sister to an F1 team for a while in Richard Branson's empire), but that didn't seem to materialize. Now we're receiving news that Felix Baumgartner will contest the Nürburgring 24 Hours this year.
Felix Whomgartner, you ask? Felix Baumgartner. He's more of a skydiver than an astronaut, but he made history in 2012 when he jumped out of a space capsule and set the record for the highest altitude in a manned balloon, the parachute jump from the highest altitude, and the highest velocity freefall as part of the Red Bull Stratos initiative. In other words, he may as well be an astronaut, because he fell down to the earth's surface from the stratosphere.
For his next challenge, Baumgartner will be climbing into an Audi R8 LMS Ultra in an attempt to tackle the Nürburgring. Having contested a handful of spec races under the VW Group umbrella, he'll undertake several test sessions and practice races before the main event in June, in which he'll alternate behind the wheel with professional racing drivers Frank Biela, Marco Werner and Pierre Kaffer. The initiative is part of the Audi race experience program that allows gentleman racers to team up with seasoned pros to take part in real races. Baumgartner will undoubtedly prove its highest-profile participant.
