Buying an Audi A6 Estate (Avant) has really changed my life? But how? I will explain in this video. I sold the Porsche Macan and bought an Audi A6 Avant Black edition. Its a 2016 Audi A6 C7 Avant Black Edition.
This is my new Audi A6 C7 Avant Black Edition, and it was voted the most unreliable Audi to buy, over all other Audi cars like A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 & A8. But why is it so unreliable, this video will show you the problem areas of this car, so make sure you check these over before you buy an Audi A6.
You can get an independent inspection if you are not sure what to look for when buying an Audi A6, and these reports will tell you if the Audi A6 is a good car to buy.
This is the 2.0 diesel engine, which in all honesty feels a little underpowered in the avant (estate version) so id recommend getting the 3.0 turbo diesel engine if possible.

Hard to reconcile daily driver use with a high cost, unreliable car. Recognize that you weren’t aware of issues related to this particular model, but Audi overall is far from a model of reliability. Why not a Japanese SUV for the daily grind with the Porsches reserved for fun. And this is probably sacrilege, but hate to see a dog impact car choice! The kids get neater as the years go by but the dogs issues getting into the car??

MOT showing a 92,000 miles future nightmare!! Clueless.

@Zero4Infinitives Год назад

If the C7 îs unreliable then how do we call the BMW F10?😂😂😂😂 I swear that pos ate my life.😂😂😂

@billlang64 10 месяцев назад

I've had two A6 models and my experience is that they are pretty reliable. My first A6 C6 3.0 tdi had 150+ k miles on it when I part exchanged it and other than the rear wiper motor, which goes wrong on all Audis with water ingress to the wiper motor circuit board, tyres, brakes and wheel bearings were all I had to replace. I liked the car so much I purchased an S6 C7.5 and again have only had a few very minor issues. A split in the air filter to turbo(s) flexi pipe and a faulty fuel flap actuator. Maybe I've been lucky but I love the A/S6 and believe if the car has regular oil changes they offer relatively trouble free motoring.

@paulgates4083 Год назад

I’ll save you 7 minutes.. A man far too old to be wearing adidas originals thinks his SUV is not suitable for his family so he buys a 7 year old estate car. His dog can get in and out. which pleases him. He is planning some minor modifiations to the estate car. Apparently his 7 year old estate car could be a bit unreliable, as it is a 7 year old estate car. He is pleased with the estate car though, as it is roomy. Apparently he wishs to “keep us informed” of how he gets on with the 7 year old estate car. Wow, can’t wait.

Comfy wear, a car of a choice of many, unfortunately unreliable, did not know that my self, useful video

@Eructation1 8 месяцев назад

Still a useful video prior to spending my money on a car. Its actually quite good to be honest.

Yer not only the car that’s boring

@scottirvine121 Месяц назад

The C7 is almost bullet proof from my experience and talking to others I love my 2012 A6 Avant, only ever had brakes and tyres other than a rear wiper motor and it’s on 179k miles with no failed MOT just like your car. Mine has also had a stage 1 remap and gets 48mpg. Jeez my car even has auto park Love it

@fbridge 3 месяца назад

Good to see an ordinary car reviewed. Had my A6 C6 2L TDI manual gearbox for over 10 years now and reliable as anything. Zero hours off the road. Pass me my pipe and slippers.

@uweheinrich6784 Год назад

Congratulations.....I have a 981 GTS but always liked Audi, since my parents in Germany had Audis. I think your new car looks stunning. I think the trade you made gives you a lot of value....

@TheGaang 4 месяца назад

My mum had this car (except not black edition, fwd and it was 2015) and it was absolutely amazing to be driven in and it certainly felt like it had enough “umph” but I loved it a lot.

@stephengreen9663 3 месяца назад

I've had many an audi c7 A6 amongst them. No more bother than any other premium vehicle really. I've had a black edition now for over 2 years. It hasn't missed a beat and nearly 100,000 miles. Driven daily. Looked after loved and serviced regularly. Owning these are great if Looked after. The best outta the big 3 prestigious German cars in my opinion. ❤

@jasonsyers3948 11 месяцев назад

I had a 2010 A6 bought it with 100k on the clock sold it with 300k on the clock 7yrs Later apart from servicing a couple of cam belts & tyres never let me down 50-60mpg what’s not to like & I changed it for new A6 rewind repeat 💯 reliable👍

@Birmingham_racing Год назад

My brother has a regular 2 litre diesel 2015 but saloon. Not very exciting but nice comfy daily especially for long motorway journey. Had it couple of years only thing that's gone wrong is egr valve which he bought used for £50

@RomanTrollanski Год назад

For the rattle at the rear, check the boot cover! You should drive your car on a bumpy road with the boot cover rolled (retracted) in... And see if anything changes! On my Avant that's what it's been rattling, the 2 spots where the boot cover locks in worn out with time and made some place enough for the boot cover to slightly "shake" you could also try move it with your hand while it's hooked in and listen for any rattling!

@jcautostv5642 Год назад

How come you change your channel name so often?

@JJL206 Год назад

Great car choice. Solid build. Nice color. Always great interiors (until the etrons anyway). For that rattle: If the car has a pull-up pet screen, make sure it's not put in upside down. Someone borrowed my A4 Avant and put it back in upside down and the rattle was maddening...easy fix though. PS: I've never had an issue with my Audi (2012) - and it has around 75K miles on it. Regular maintenance is all it takes.

@RomanTrollanski Год назад

Might not have the pet screen, but the boot/trunk cover could be the culprit... For the rattle at the rear, check the boot cover!

@imaner76 Год назад

I've been daily driving a 2012 TDI S-Line (by the way the least problematic year for the A6 Avant) for about 6 years now. And it's solid. Keep on top of serviceable items and it's a dream! Still going strong at 185k miles, interior is as I've treated it, great!

@chumpey Год назад

Had mine for over two years and it’s been the most reliable car I’ve owned! Course…now I’ve jinxed it 🤦‍♂️

@scottirvine121 Месяц назад

Same here

@andrewrobinson391 Год назад

Strange that it has no electric seats, I've had the same car (UK model) several times both older and younger and all have electric seats. Start stop has never worked, but that's a bonus for me rather than problem and the rear black vertical sills have a tiny bit of bubble until black paint. I tried a 3.0 TDi but found it noisy and thirsty. On my 3rd of these now and planning on keeping my 2017 version until it dies, love it. Worth noting the new shape 2018 onwards A6 black edition does not come with premium audio (Bose or equiv), rear climate control or full leather.

@ianmason3040 Год назад

Perfect family wagon, I've been looking at the S6 & S4's over the years, but not took the plunge yet.

@hewi8271 Год назад

Good video AlSatch. I’m new to your videos as I’m new to Porsche ownership. I’ve just bought my first Porsche a 2006 997 carrera 4S. Like you I’ve opted for Audi avant but I opted for the A4 200bhp avant. I’m very interested in your Porsche ownership opinions but as I don’t want it to be my daily driver, I’m interested in what options are out there as a daily driver without opting for a something to boring. Keep up the good work

@scap11 Год назад

I had an A7 of Theo generation, one of the best cars I’ve owned.. please take care of this car and it will I promise you take care of you and your family.. the horror stories are not as they seem ❤

@DP-ze7pn Год назад

3.0 TDI Quattro is the real deal 🤝. But congratulations 👏🎉🎉🎉 Enjoy your daily life with the car and hopefully not having any major issues.

@RomanTrollanski Год назад

In my opinion 3.2 FSI it's probably the better choice.

@riki5733 5 месяцев назад

It would be interesting to compare other series of this model. I found in a couple of places that the 2016 model of this car is much more unreliable than the 2018 generation (when it comes to the 3.0tdi engine).

@mschumi2005 28 дней назад

Owned one 2.0 ultra for 2y plus and 25k miles later, only tyres changed

@alexgramajo5137 Год назад

I completely agree with you on this. It’s nice to drive something fun to drive instead of something super expensive. I recently got into a Manual E46 sedan and I’ve loved every minute

@seidshot Год назад

love my 2012 A6 3.0

@seancoombes3446 11 месяцев назад

A massive issue with a car of your age now is the EGR Cooler if this hasnt been replaced, its a massive flaw to the 2.0 TDI. I've just been quoted £1660 for mine to be replaced.

@japanluv 4 месяца назад

Hi. Just got a 2016 A6 2.0 tdi estate, one owner, full service history, cambelt change at 66k, bit early I would say. Car is on 111k miles. What should I look for when it comes to the EGR cooler?

@BeasyxD 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately I had a 2014 2.0 TDI blk edition C7 A6 avant and I was very unlucky. Throttle issue and was replaced, £800. ad blue pump had a known fault by Audi and a new pump had already been manufactured for replacement. Had an AdBlue warning and ended up being replaced. £1200. Both window actuators failed a month apart, £800. Had a pending electric motor handbrake failure. All within 9 months. Drive shaft was also due to be replaced also, £700. Only had 65K on the clock. Maybe I was just unlucky; but got rid very quickly and was sad to see it go.

@anthonybeaman 10 месяцев назад

Seven things to do, and yet nothing since on this A6, shame.

@Birmingham_racing Год назад

I've not had much luck with tuning box many years ago they didn't make the claimed power. Get a proper remap on a dyno from a reputable tuner

@neiloramandamartin5560 Год назад

I have an Audi A4 estate as a motorway mile muncher, its a comfortable ride but as boring as ....! Just makes my cayman seem more fun when I get to drive that. I can't see you keeping that A6 for long Al, as all Audi's, it's got no spirit to it!

@anthhodgson7680 Год назад

For additional content you may be able to drive other subscribers cars if your insurance allows it.. as I would like your honest comparison against your cayman with my Mk3 Audi TTS.

I just sold a 3.0BiTdi A6 Black edition. Never felt an affinity with the car and had a feeling that it was going to bite me big time. Lovely, powerful but also massive, always seemed to hang out of parking bays. Replaced it with a 987 Boxster S. Much more fun.

@JohnnyCage4Real Год назад

@@billsheehy1people that have that mindset are most likely also the ones that never do the scheduled maintenance on their cars and just expects it to run forever. Stupid people 😀

Over 5 years now owning my biTurbo A6 Avant from new..... Not a single issue, other than connection of my phone 1st time every time (hardly an issue lol) Easily the BEST car I have ever owned (over 50 cars now)

@amsakharov Год назад

After driving German cars I did exactly what you recommended - now I hate my car because no Japanese can compare to German vehicle. Handling sucks. Cheap. Floaty suspension. Higher cost of maintenance.
