Audi. Modular information and command system Infotainment (MIB) (rus.) Device and principle of operation. Self-study program 618 VW/Audi.
The modular Infotainment system is another visionary concept from the Volkswagen Group and will replace all other Infotainment systems in the future. The architecture of the control unit allows you to update the hardware at minimal cost, constantly maintaining it at the highest technical level. An important component is a powerful graphics processor from market leader Nvidia, with which Audi maintains a very successful partnership. Not only now, but in the future, Audi models will be equipped with the latest modifications of Nvidia processors.
The new platform makes it possible to use the same central unit (ECU 1 J794) for all brands of the group. Thus, in the future, different versions of head units for different brands can be created on four unified hardware platforms. For example, each brand can have its own interface design and panel / controls. Thanks to this, the customer will see a clear differentiation between different systems, i.e. the head unit installed in his Audi car will always be visually perceived as an Audi MMI. The modular infotainment system, referred to as MIB for short, was introduced for the first time in the Audi A3 2013.
Three levels of MIB devices are currently used for Audi models: MIB Entry, MIB Standard, MIB High. Each of these levels of performance is responsible for its own group brand. Audi AG is responsible for the MIB High, Volkswagen is responsible for the MIB Standard and Skoda is responsible for the MIB Entry.

Audi A6 C6 review: history, specifications, operation
The Audi A6 car in the back of the C6 deserved a lot positive feedback during its release and beyond. Today it is quite difficult to find a good used A6 C6. Probably even more difficult than . The previous generation in the back of the C5 was very successful and was produced in the period 1997-2004. But everything ends someday, and the car was replaced by the Audi A6 C6 on the market. Today we will talk about the A6 C6 model, which has lived almost as long as its predecessor (7 years). We will consider the car, its pros and cons, as well as various "diseases" that were identified during operation.
In 2004, the A6 comes out in the back of the C6 / 4F. The model inherited a number of successful elements from the previous generation. For example, the design features of suspensions. The C6 body has significantly increased in size, and a new line of engines has appeared under the hood. In addition, quite a lot of changes have occurred in the interior and equipment of the car. For example, the MMI multimedia system. Less noticeable, but no less important, changes have occurred in the electronic component of the A6 C6. The car has become "more premium", dynamic and expensive.
Review Audi A6 C6
Engines
Audi designers have made every effort to make the A6 C6 dynamic, but at the same time economical. Power plants have direct fuel injection, minimum weight and maximum unification. Three petrol engines were from the old EA113 series. In particular, 4-cylinder TFSI (BPJ) 2 liters, V6 MPI (BBJ) 3 liters, V8 MPI (BAT) 4.2 liters. The 3-liter V6 with a capacity of 218 was quite popular. Horse power. He practically did not eat oil. "Eight" (V8 4.2) was a copy of the previous engine, only with 2 additional cylinders, large volume and power. The “younger brother” in this family with a volume of 2 liters on the A6 C6 was less reliable and significantly “eating up” oil. However, this engine had a simpler design and weight. In addition, in Audi it was easily forced and used on other cars. For example, on the Golf R VI, where the power of TFSI (BPJ) was from 300 to 450 "horses".
The power plants had a timing drive combined from a chain and a belt. At the same time, there were no problems on this side and spare parts for this unit were relatively inexpensive. Turbocharging (two-liter engine) and the direct injection system did not perform well and were very capricious in maintenance. However, the owners often got out of the situation by installing more modern injectors and injection pumps, as well as firmware.
So, in general, this group gasoline engines was recognized as the best on A6 C6. If you regularly replace "consumables", timing, ignition elements, etc., then there are either no problems, or a minimum number. With proper care, the owners of the Audi A6 C6 write that the cars went far for 300 thousand kilometers.
The next group of power plants on the A6 C6 is as follows:
- MPI (BDW) 2.4 liters;
- FSI (CCDA / BDX / CCEA) 2.8 liters;
- FSI (AUK) 3.2 liters;
- FSI (BVJ) 4.2 liters;
- FSI (BXA) 5.2 liters;
- TFSI (CAJA) 3 liters.
These power plants differ in piston stroke and the number of cylinders. The cylinder diameter for all models is 84.5 mm. The younger model has a distributed injection system. And since the design and device are related, then the same type of problems are observed on them.
In this family of motors, the timing chain turned out to be complex, expensive and with a short service life. In the reviews there are reports of chain slips when worn. The piston group of this family received oil seals and piston rings of an unsuccessful design, which led to an “oil burner”. In addition, the new scraper-type compression ring, which, in combination with high temperature and soot, quickly destroyed the coating, brought problems. Among the most problematic, according to the reviews of the owners of the Audi A6 C6 and technical specialists, was a 3-liter TFSI.
An Eaton compressor was installed on this motor. Malfunctions of the piston group on the Audi A6 C6 with this engine made themselves felt already during warranty service. At the same time, Audi did not seek to change the design of power plants, and these problems persisted until the end of the life cycle of these engines. During warranty service, thermostats were replaced, less often cylinder blocks. It's hard to say what happened after the warranty was cancelled. But according to reviews Audi owners A6 C6, for many of these engines, oil consumption exceeded 1 liter per thousand kilometers with a mileage of over 300 thousand km.
Separately, it should be said about the FSI 4.2 liters. There were some problems with the cylinder block here. There were cases (far from isolated) when, with a run of the Audi A6 C6 of 50 thousand km, the engine blocks were changed. The reason was the wear of cylinders 7 and 8. Audi did not disclose the statistics of such cases, but there were many reviews about such a problem. The situation was saved only by the fact that these motors were installed on a small number of A6 C6. The same engine problems were observed on the crossover.
Despite the similarity in design, the model FSI engine 2.8 liters when working on the Audi A6 C6 had practically no complaints. This modification has a smaller piston stroke, but otherwise everything is the same. This power plant was upgraded already during the production process and it became the most successful in this gasoline line.
In the restyled version of the Audi A6 C6, instead of this family of engines, a 2-liter TFSI and a line of diesel engines appeared. in European automotive market at one time there were a lot of Audi A6 C6 with diesel engines. Many of them then went second-hand to Russia. Like any diesel engine, they had a number of specific problems. Under the hood of the Audi A6 C6, 2-liter diesel engines of two series with different returns were installed. The BLB / BNA / BRE series of diesel engines with a return of 140 “horses” had fairly reliable unit injectors. But here weak point was the oil pump bypass valve. If you miss its malfunction, then when jammed, it squeezed out the plugs of the oil channels of the cylinder head. As a result, the camshaft cams remained without lubrication. In principle, as the service station experts say, a similar problem is typical for all 2-liter diesel engines on the Audi A6 C6.
On the A6 C6 with engines of 136 and 170 horsepower (they were added after restyling in 2008), the power system was made with expensive piezo injectors. Problems with them were observed during overheating. If you believe the reviews, their resource averaged 200-250 thousand km. These engines belonged to the CAHA and CAGB lines.
Audi service technicians note that when operating the A6 C6 with these engines, they stretch, and in some cases the oil pump drive chain breaks. The oil pump pressure relief valve is often cited as the reason for this.
Audi A6 C6 with V6 diesel engines deserved good reviews. Especially successful were 3-liter. During their operation, no serious problems were observed. As for the injectors and oil pumps, here they were similar to the 2 liter diesel models. There were reviews of a leaking heat exchanger. Therefore, when the oil level drops, it is first of all worth checking it. It is also worth noting the electro-hydraulic engine mounts, which cost a lot. The resource of these supports is up to about 150 thousand km. After the development of their resource, vibration in the cabin begins.
transmissions
Manual transmissions on the Audi A6 C6 are quite reliable. There are reviews about the need to regularly replace the dual-mass flywheel, which costs a pretty penny. Quattro includes wheel drives and cardan shaft, which practically do not bring problems. There were reports of the failure of the front CV joints and the intermediate support of the cardan shaft with a run of about 200 thousand. And this good result. Experts recommend monitoring the oil in rear gear. Especially if there are leaks. Usually the problem is in the seals and breather. With a decrease in oil level, the wear of the gearbox increases sharply and it quickly fails.
Automatic transmission on Audi A6 C6 cars should be divided into 2 groups. Front-wheel drive modifications had a Multitronic variator, and on all-wheel drive models installed a classic ZF automatic transmission. On A6 C6 cars, the already repeatedly modified and modified Multitronic was installed. So, the owners of the A6 C6 had few problems with it. On copies since 2005, the release of failures during operation was practically not observed. Since 2006, 0AN CVTs have been installed on the Audi A6 C6. They worked without problems with powerful FSI 3.2-liter power units and 2.7-liter diesel engines.
In most reviews of Audi A6 C6 cars related to gearboxes, problems were observed with some design features and driving habits. The variator quickly fell into disrepair if the owner practices abrupt starts and slippage, towing heavy vehicles, moves at top speeds, etc.
In addition, the owners of the A6 C6 also note the smaller drawbacks of Multitronic. In particular, when towing, damage to the cones of the chain occurs, which significantly reduces the service life. It is important that if the chain is not changed in a timely manner, it will finally break the cones. In this case, the repair will be very expensive. Those who operated multitronics, even with powerful power plants, had significantly fewer problems, and maintenance and repairs were exclusively planned.
There are practically no small, "stupid" breakdowns and failures. Experienced mechanics when buying a used Audi A6 C6 carefully check the CVT when buying. It is necessary to check that it functions normally "in the cold". There should be no slippage, noise if you start and move smoothly. On a warm motor and variator, there should be no jerks and twitching of traction. In addition, during hard acceleration, the Multitronic should demonstrate adequate gear shifting. Moreover, howling and jerks are unacceptable when accelerating and decelerating. The cost of the variator chain is estimated at 20-25 thousand rubles. However, if the replacement is not made on time, the price will increase by several times.
On Audi A6 C6 cars with all-wheel drive and 4.2 and 5.2 liter engines, 6-speed “automatic machines” ZF 6HP19 and 6HP26 were installed. In general, the owners have a positive impression of them. They did not show something supernatural, but they worked out their resource in full. Here, as in the case of the CVT, aggressive driving greatly reduces the life of the automatic transmission. There were problems with the valve body (mechatronics), allocated to a separate unit. The problem stems from the fact that impurities in the oil lead to contamination. Automatic transmission bushings often suffer from vibration.
According to the observations of the owners of the Audi A6 C6, with careful driving and regular oil changes in the box (after about 50 thousand km), the "automatic" will pass at least 200 thousand. And the subsequent preventive maintenance will not take a lot of money. It will be reduced to the replacement of friction clutches, gas turbine overlays and some other elements. If the owner of the A6 C6 drove on the “pedal to the floor” principle, changed the oil irregularly, the box overheated, then repairs would be required at about the turn of 150 thousand km. And it will be very costly.
In this case, the replacement of bushings is added to the repair, as well as the repair or overhaul of the mechatronics. The latter will cost a tidy sum plus repairs. In general, such repairs can result in 70-100 thousand rubles. And after that, the automatic transmission will still periodically make itself felt. If the oil pressure is low, then the box will wear out at an accelerated rate. Well, every acceleration with slippage will be "a nail in the automatic transmission's coffin lid."
In general, all automatic boxes on the Audi A6 C6, they begin to give the first failures at the turn of 100 thousand km. Failures begin, jerks when switching, etc. Many owners could not cope with this disaster and they drove like this for years before a major repair. At the same time, there are a lot of reviews when problems were fixed in the dealer service with the help of a new firmware. Then automatic transmissions went up to 50 thousand kilometers. However, most often Multitronic and automatic transmission ZF 6HP failed due to careless operation. The variator is more demanding for accurate operation. The automatic transmission tolerates aggressive driving better, but it also cannot endure for a long time.
Electronic stuffing
In the Audi A6 C6 car, a mass of independent electronics units appeared, which have their own operating characteristics and parameters. Moreover, malfunctions in these blocks require the intervention of specialists who specialize in automotive electronics. And it costs a lot. For example, the owners of the A6 C6 wrote that the repair of seat heating costs about 50 thousand rubles. And this is only the control unit itself, not counting the device itself in the chair. Repairing the parking brake, adjusting mirrors, removing errors, control units for doors ... In general, servicing electronics on the Audi A6 C6 entails serious problems if you got a used car.
Yes, and the standard auto electrics on the Audi A6 C6 do not lag behind electronics in terms of ruin. A simple diagnosis of the problem of lack of charging on battery. And this is not to mention the cost of subsequent repairs. The advice of A6 C6 car owners can be formulated as follows. Always keep an eye on your car. There is a lot of electronic filling here and, having missed one thing, you get another in addition and the problems grow like a snowball. No patterns and “diseases” have been identified here, but service is expensive anyway. For some, the electronics worked flawlessly for almost the entire period of operation, and when problems appeared, their solution required a lot of time and money.
In the reviews, you can find a number of problems with auto electrics with a serious run. In particular, correctors, headlights, reflectors fail. There have been repeated complaints about the failure of LEDs on restyled models. For some owners of the Audi A6 C6, the ESP sensor failed, which caused a number of related functions to fail. In general, without a scanner and skills in handling automotive electronics, it is very difficult to look for the cause of a particular malfunction. Frequent problem on 4.2 liter engines is the failure of the sensors. They can't stand high temperature under the hood. Weak sensors are also on the rear parking sensors. On the power plants V6 and V8 fans quickly fail, and in some cases starters.
But, again, there are no obvious “diseases” and patterns in electrical engineering. Here, the owners of Audi A6 C6 cars just need to constantly monitor and fix all breakdowns on time. Even the smallest ones.
Brakes, suspension, steering
The Audi A6 C6 suspension is multi-link, bringing a number of unpleasant problems, but not critical ones. If you change everything at once on a dead car, then the cost of repairs will be sky-high. Fortunately, on the A6 C6 does not fail all at once. In addition, the owners of these cars found inexpensive replacements for some components. Many suspension elements when driving in urban conditions go 70-100 thousand km without problems. Moreover, if you drive carefully, the A6 C6 suspension will withstand 200 thousand without major repairs.
The weak point is the lower and upper front arms. Upper control arms are usually the first to require repair. Loaded suspension units are equipped with replaceable silent blocks. They are inexpensive, which reduces the cost of repairs. Silent blocks on the front subframe must be periodically changed without fail. This is especially true for vehicles with powerful engines. Next, start to hand over the bearings of the hubs. Their resource is 100-120 thousand km. On vehicles with sports suspension and a powerful engine, this period may be slightly less.
As for the rear suspension, it all depends on the mode of operation. When driving on bad roads with a heavy load, repairs may already be required up to 100 thousand. In a city with a small load, rear suspension will last much longer. Air suspension was offered as an option on some modifications. Reviews about its service life were not too impressive. But since then, the cost of parts for this suspension has come down and repairs can be done at a reasonable cost. Now there are even proposals for the repair and modernization of such systems.
The steering on the Audi A6 C6 is nothing special. Quite a traditional rail with servotronic and hydraulic booster. The rail is reliable, does not leak, does not knock. Hydraulic system also made qualitatively, there are no leaks, the pump works reliably. Some specialists and car owners have criticized the short service life of tips and steering rods. Moreover, it was noted that the problem is more pronounced for the A6 C6 with wide tires.
The brake system on the Audi A6 C6 has a successful design. Brake discs are quite large. It is necessary to take more seriously their regular inspection and timely replacement. The pads do not last long, but this is typical for all powerful cars of a large mass. brake pipes do not fail, ABS works well and has a great resource. Problems with it, if they arise, are more likely due to on-board electronics. When buying a used A6 C6, pay attention to what is installed in brake system. There are cases when brake discs from other suitable models are installed there.
In the reviews there were reports of a failure of the handbrake on the Audi A6 C6. Almost all of them were connected with malfunctions in the electrical part. It was a broken wiring to the handbrake drive. Sometimes the problem was the breakdown of the control button in the cabin.
Exterior and interior
Audi A6 in the back of C6 practically does not rust. Even on the oldest cars, only small defects can be found near the wheel arches. On the front, the paint peels off over time, but corrosion is not evident, since the hood and fenders are aluminum. But over time, aluminum corrodes. The body of the A6 C6 has strong subframes, attachment points and spars. Somewhat weak floor in the trunk. It is worth noting that the car has a low landing and many sloppy drivers scratched the curbs. In this case, it is desirable to renew the anti-corrosion layer in places of damage.
Often paintwork broken near the frame windshield. And also the sealant layer under the hood can collapse. In the case of V8 and V6 modifications, this happens faster due to increased temperature and increased load on the front of the car. The interior of the A6 C6 is beautiful, but has a number of potential problems due to its complexity. Moreover, breakdowns of various equipment are difficult to diagnose, often you have to remove the door trim and chairs in order to understand what's wrong. Putting it all back together is quite difficult, as the materials age and tan over time. And, in general, the interior does not tolerate multiple assembly and disassembly very well.
The quality of finishing materials has grown compared to the previous generation A6. Inserts "under the tree", high-quality paint on the buttons, but the skin at least has not changed. And it may have gotten worse. All small switches work perfectly, the buttons from time to time do not lose the clarity of operation and elasticity of pressing. There are no serious damages in the interior, although there are some diseases. Sometimes there are failures of some elements of climate control, but these are isolated cases. Sometimes there is burnout of displays, loss of contacts by loops, the fan motor may fail. There were rare cases when MMI failed, navigation, etc.
The buttons, which are located on the tunnel in the center, are quite vulnerable to filling them with drinks. And in some cases, water fell on them from the hatch. Yes, some owners of the Audi A6 C6 left such reviews. Some drivers broke the handbrake button when they tried to pull it hard all the way. It is also worth noting the not very good location of the cigarette lighter. In such a vertical position, small metal objects cannot be excluded. This may cause a short circuit.
On used Audi A6 C6, the condition of the interior will largely depend on where and how the car was serviced. In addition, the number of breakdowns of electronic components in the cabin. That is, from the amount of disassembly and assembly of interior elements.

Reviews from Audi A6 C6 owners
Audi A6 C6, 2005
Owned an Audi A6 C6 for almost a year and a half. After the “allroad” in the previous body, the impressions were not very good and could not change in a year and a half of operation. Its main problem is the low front bumper.
Advantages of the Audi A6 C6: beautiful, very comfortable suspension, excellent sound insulation, good music. Very comfortable on highway trips. Good dynamic performance in sport mode and efficiency in normal mode, good brakes, the ability of the electric handbrake to be removed when you give gas (only if the seat belt is fastened).
disadvantages : very low front bumper. Bi-xenon headlights in the European version of the Audi A6 C6 shine very poorly, there is practically no difference between high and low beams. The 2.4 engine is prone to cylinder wear and oil consumption, many have changed it under warranty. The only option for "wipers", only Bosch for 2 thousand rubles, or the original. Inability to replace a monochrome monitor (red) with a color one. This requires the replacement of many blocks, the budget exceeds 100 thousand rubles. Moreover, if you have a color monitor, then you get unlimited retrofitting options (DVD, TV, Bluetooth, telephone, etc.). Inconvenient cup holders in front (one is generally located under the armrest) and their complete absence in the back. I could not get used to the Audi A6 C6 variator - I did not trust him until the last moment. The biggest disappointment came to me when I started replacing the monitor. I asked in different places, but everyone said it was not budget. In general, to replace a monochrome monitor with a color one, you need to replace almost all the blocks associated with it, even the joystick. The budget of the event is more than 100 thousand rubles. Cried my desire to watch TV.

Audi A6 C6, 2006
You know, I personally do not know any problems with this car, although I took it from my hands. The Audi A6 C6 was brought in from Germany and there were already 164 thousand km on the speedometer, but I have long wanted an Audi on a diesel engine, before that I always had gasoline cars, including Audi. When I drove it, I was surprised by the operation of the engine, it worked almost silently, like a watch, and the swift silhouette and comfort spacious interior and a huge trunk left no doubt in my head, and I bought it. The Audi A6 C6 has an attractive appearance she is just beautiful when you drive around the city - they turn around, look at her, although she is already almost 5 years old today. In the cabin, it is quiet, pleasant and calm, and only when you open the window, you will feel the difference in how good the sound insulation is. And the consumption is generally surprising in the city of 8-9l. (this is in the summer with the "climate" included), and outside the city 4.5 -5.5 liters, with a good and fast ride.
Oil from replacement to replacement, I have already traveled more than 55 thousand km and changed only consumables and a light bulb in the headlight, and then, probably, because it is constantly on. It is good in driving, it goes confidently when cornering, which gives me confidence in driving, in general, it surprises for the better, the Germans know how to make cars.
disadvantages : a bit low landing and that is only for our destinations.

Audi A6 C6, 2006
Chose long and carefully. I decided for myself that I would take one of these: BMW 530td, MB 320CDI and A6 3.0TDI. I read a lot of reviews, spoke with the owners of such cars and drew conclusions. Now I am quite happy with my choice. Audi A6 C6 under the order from Germany drove a good friend. Initially, the mileage was 55,000 km. For the entire period of operation, no repairs have been made, except for maintenance, replacement of pads, replacement of front brake discs and replacement of the left wheel bearing. I had a chance to drive it along the Pskov track on "RSovskih" disks. The suspension has withstood and does not require repairs, although during that trip the heart bled.
In winter, I got real pleasure, leaving the traffic lights in the lead. Accelerating dynamics Audi A6 C6 pleases. The average consumption of "tanning bed" now on the computer is 11.7 liters per "hundred", given my aggressive driving style. Haven't topped up the oil yet. From MOT to MOT enough without topping up. The handling of the Audi A6 C6 is excellent at all speeds. According to the Ring Road, it accelerated to almost 250 km / h. Noise isolation for a diesel is quite satisfactory. Diesel is quiet. Engine operation is smooth, without failures. Completely satisfied with the performance of the box. When translated into sport mode, the feeling that the car itself is rushing forward, and I just hold it back. There have never been any failures in the operation of electronics and computers. Acoustics Bose suits completely. The next car for me will most likely be an Audi again. True, I already want a Q7 4.2 TDI.
Advantages Keywords: design, reliability, controllability, efficiency, accelerating dynamics.
disadvantages A: Expensive to maintain.

Audi A6 C6, 2008
I am satisfied with driving Audi A6 C6 for more than 2 years. The quality of the interior of a premium business class car. Roomy interior and trunk. Manageability, thanks to the multi-link and all-wheel drive at a height. The four-wheel drive on it is what is permanent, unlike most plug-in AWDs. This is well manifested on the track, stability in slippery places, respectively, and safety is better. Separately, we can say that all-wheel drive is not some kind of plug-in, but a real permanent one. Concerning diesel engines. The 2.7 TDI is the cousin of the 3.0 TDI. The only difference is the size of the pistons. The sores of these engines have long been known to everyone and there are many car services who can fix them for little money (remove particulate filter, swirl flaps and alter the computer). The machine must be monitored and understood in the intricacies of its maintenance. The car is not for those who do not see the difference between Solaris and her, who carry themselves and are serviced only by officials. This is a car for connoisseurs of cars, namely VAG. Separately, I'll tell you about fuel consumption. For a mass of 1890 kg and constant all-wheel drive consumption is as follows: highway - 6.5, city - 11, average 9-10. Judge for yourself. Someone will say: "high". This is said by those who do not get off the Solaris and others like it and ride only around the city.
Advantages : manageability. Spaciousness. Q factor. Low fuel consumption. Q factor.
disadvantages : expensive suspension. The front head optics are dull.

Audi A6 C6, 2007
For 5 years I drove 80 thousand kilometers on the Audi A6 C6 (not much, because there was always a second car). Of the pluses - an excellent bunch of automatic transmission-engine-all-wheel drive, cheerfully jumps out from the start (0-100 in the region of 7.0 seconds in both dry and wet weather). It rides well up to a cutoff of 250 km / h. During country trips, the consumption is 8-9 liters per 100 km, with “grandfather's” driving, you can reach 7 l / 100 km, 800 or more km easily travels on a tank. In an empty city 12-14 l / 100 km, in good traffic jams it can eat 20-25 l / 100 km. Suspension (not air) was surprisingly driver's, quite tough. At the time of purchase, I was 24 years old, so this alignment is only a plus. Reactions to the steering wheel are sharp. When maneuvering at low speeds, the power steering makes the steering wheel soft, and at speed it fills with heaviness. Driving the Audi A6 C6 is a joy and a pleasure to this day. The car has all sorts of amenities like a well-functioning keyless entry, parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a heated steering wheel, door closers, all sorts of curtains, TV and other little things. A bunch of smart electronics work well and implement many different algorithms without the user noticing. I notice all these pleasant features of the German car industry from year to year, especially frequent driving in other cars helps in this. Of the troubles - there is an absurd thing in the form of a saloon rear-view mirror dimming with a lever (VAZ-2109 type) and, accordingly, side mirrors that are not dimmable in any way. There is no seat memory, often used in the previous car. Let's write it off to the first owner who ordered the complete set. The front seats of the Audi A6 C6 are not very good in terms of comfort, I have seen it and it is more comfortable in a car of a similar class. The rear sofa is quite comfortable for two adults when traveling long distances. The trunk, by the standards of a sedan, is large, deep, apparently designed for a bunch of large suitcases. rear seats they fold up, but very large boxes do not fit in due to the limited size of the opening (they asked to transport a box from a 50-inch TV - it did not fit).
Advantages : dynamics. Controllability. Reliability. Nice electronics. Current appearance.
disadvantages : not the most comfortable front seats. Ridiculous features of a complete set are probable.

Audi A6 C6, 2006
I decided to write a review about the Audi A6 C6 for 2.5 years of operation. A bit of lyrics: this is my 19 or 21 car, I have traveled almost all Japanese and German marks, mainly C, B and E class. I usually use the car for 1 year. And so joy. In fact, probably not joy, but pride in your car, especially when it is clean (dark gray) and fully functional. Pride and respect to the engineers for the unprecedented large trunk and folding seat backs. For an excellent sport CVT mode. Behind the rear sunblinds, handle hooks in the trunk. For a beautiful, strict and respectable body, and perhaps there is something else to be proud of this car. Well, now the hate. I hated the Audi A6 C6 from day one for its voracious engine, which not only ate gasoline, but also oil, which caused particular anger after an active drive. Although the car is designed to drive at high speeds. It is clearly not for Moscow traffic jams. I hated the Audi A6 C6 for all the time fogged up optics, for now and then failing light bulbs (because of the same). I always could not sit in a chair for a long time if someone touched it (everything is electric). I hated it for the high cost, or rather the excessive trickiness of the front suspension - 4 levers on one rack (nonsense). In addition to this, there were vague problems with the variator, but at the same time everyone stated that it was in perfect working order with a mileage of 110,000 and added that it was okay, for some, the variator was covered even at 60. Mediocre soundproofing. In general, the impressions are already forgotten.
Advantages : body. Trunk.
disadvantages : motor. Chassis.

Audi A6 C6, 2010
I like the appearance of the Audi A6 C6, but the C6 body is slowly starting to become obsolete - I have the last restyling before the C7 body. Suspension is not air (unlike the previous two C6). Yes, the pneumatic is very well controlled in sport mode ( better bmw), but this time reliability, maintainability and clearance prevailed (on 4.2, the main pneuma hose somehow frayed, it cost only 1500 rubles, but if you get on the rack, then you will have to lay out 60-80 thousand rubles there immediately) . Also, there is a shock absorber inside the front air spring (behind - outside) and therefore it will not be possible to visually recognize a leak from it, and when driving in comfort it seems (it always seemed to me) that the suspension is underperforming. On a mechanical suspension swallows small bumps well, the road keeps excellent. The Audi A6 C6 does not like frequent rebuilding in the city - the comfort of the suspension eats up handling. The engine is a fairy tale. In fact, there is not a turbine, but a compressor that pumps air in a wider speed range, unlike a turbine. Its feature, like most Audi engines, is that it eats oil, I have about 300-400 grams per 1000 km, which is an acceptable level (I always carry a canister with me). In winter (may the owners of SUVs forgive me), I do them both from a traffic light and when driving through porridge. Once the owner of Kruzak was very surprised when he was left behind from a traffic light - the next time he asked about the car. The car did not annoy much - I replaced the hub bearing, discs / pads in front, replaced the candles, did maintenance, bought two sets new rubber winter summer. Small maintenance for 8-10 thousand rubles can be done without problems. Of the pleasant things: navigation (not standard) is installed at the dealer, there is a SIM card for connecting to the Internet - so it can load traffic jams, it is displayed on the main display. Keyless entry is a handy thing, the key is always in your pocket. You approach the car, stretched out your hand to the handle - the door opens. Sat down, pressed the button - the car started up. Rear curtain on the button - I do not use. Auto dimming rearview mirror. Heated all seats.
Advantages : dynamics. Controllability. Ergonomics. Permanent four-wheel drive. Ground clearance 16.5 cm.
disadvantages : tax.

The family of Audi A6 business class cars manufactured by the well-known German manufacturer since 1994, has a rich and glorious history. Thanks to several generations and timely restyling, the developers managed to significantly improve the model.
Its modern reading is characterized by an impressive exterior design, effective anti-corrosion protection of the body, a spacious and ergonomically organized interior, high-tech solutions in the field of dynamics and safety. The history of the Audi A6 is the embodiment of the traditions and experience of the legendary brand.
Audi A6 (C7) FaceliftCurrent
from 2014 to N.V.The world debut of the Audi A6, which took place in 2011 in Detroit, was officially announced by the company back in 2010. If we compare the exterior of the novelty fourth generation with other new models, you can find a lot in common in their design. The car is made in the body of the C7 and has similar features not only with the flagship A8 sedan, but also with the recently presented A7 Sportback.
Audi A6 (C7) Out of production
from 2010 to 2014Audi A6 (C7) - The fourth generation of the Audi A6 (internal designation Typ 4G). It was launched in early 2011 in the European and other markets. The car is in many ways similar in appearance to the A8 (D4), only some elements of its exterior details have changed.
Audi A6 C6 Facelift Not produced
from 2008 to 2011The model was restyled in 2009. At the same time, the design of the bumper group, body sidewalls, mirrors, lighting elements, and a radiator grill were changed. Thanks to the modernization of power units, including the introduction of the Common rail system, fuel savings (15%) were achieved and emissions of waste products were reduced. In 2011, the Audi A6 C6 cars gave way to the fourth generation of this model - the Audi A6 C7 vehicles.
Audi A6 C6 Out of production
from 2004 to 2008In the second half of 2004, representatives of the third generation of the model were introduced to the market - Audi A6 C6 vehicles. These cars had bodywork in the form of a 4-door sedan and a 5-door station wagon. In 2005, the line was supplemented by a sports coupe. Thanks to a well-thought-out exterior design solution and excellent dynamic characteristics, representatives of the third generation quickly gained popularity in the market.
Audi A6 C5 Facelift Not produced
Years of production from 2001-2004The first restyling of C5 vehicles was carried out in 1999. It provided for strengthening the body structure, changing the shape of the head optics and mirrors, providing greater ergonomics dashboard. In 2001, the company carried out a second restyling, which ensured the modernization of lighting elements, direction indicators, and trim parts.
Audi A6 C5 Out of production
Years of production c 1997-2004Debut of the second Audi generations A6 took place in 1997. The Audi A6 C5 platform was used as its basis. This generation had two body options: the Avant station wagon and the sedan. Both versions showed a very low drag coefficient of 0.28. Full galvanizing of the body, an extended set of safety elements, an extensive range of engines brought this model to a completely new competitive level: in 2000-2001 it entered the top ten best cars in the world.
Audi 100 C4/4ANout of production
years of production c 1991 - 1997In 1991, a significantly revised version of the C4 was introduced. Among her key changes the introduction of power units with a capacity of 2.8 liters and 2.6 liters should be highlighted. In 1995, the number "100" was excluded from the model name, and it was called the Audi A6 C4. Cars in design Audi models 100 were produced until 1997, then they were completely superseded by the design solutions of the Audi A6.
Audi 100 and 200 C3Not produced
years of production c 1982 - 1991In 1982, as part of the Frankfurt Motor Show, the C3 model was presented to the automotive community, the body of which had an extremely low aerodynamic coefficient Cx = 0.30 for that time. This decision, in the end, provided significant fuel savings. Another innovation was the use of flush windows (recessed windows), which also had an impact on the aerodynamic drag parameters. In 1990, this model received an innovative direct injection diesel powertrain. With a performance of 120 hp. this engine showed reduced fuel consumption.
Since 1984, the model has been equipped with a Quattro all-wheel drive system. In September 1985, the first modifications of the C3 appeared with a fully galvanized body. In the late 1980s, the Audi V8 version was introduced to the market. The basis for it was the modification of the Audi 200 Quattro (with an automatic 4-band gearbox, rear and center differential Torsen).
Audi 100 and 200 C2Not produced
years of production c 1977 - 1983
