The windshield on my A6 C5 original from factory lasted 19 years until a rock about the size of a bouncy ball flew off a semi and hit me on the freeway. Through the years it had been pelted countless times by different kinds of debris.
Sotto zeros for my A6. Great control and initial bite, fairly priced for 19" sizing.
Yes. I do oil, break pads and rotors all the standard stuff
i had them on my A6. I thought they were pretty good. would buy again.
I have a 2016 A6 2.0T w/52K on the clock now and it's been reliable thus far, although I did have to replace a water pump at 17K.
Although not a 100% dedicated snow tire I run Nokian WR G4's on the A6. I have never had an issue with anything with them and they hold up a little better than a full on winter tire. Since the weather has been changing so much the last 6 years, getting a full dedicated snow set didnt make sense for me, being in the city. I would highly recommend them to anyone, or if you need full on snow, you cannot go wrong with the hekka R3s
I purchased a set of X-Ice for my old Audi A6 years ago and had great tire life - over 8 winters - and still only half worn when I sold the car with 144,000 miles on it. Super traction on Ice - Packed Snow - and every day cold weather wet driving in Seattle. Took a trip in CA national parks in December and never got stuck. So when I got my Alltrack SEL - I saved the 17 inch wheels from my Buyback TDI - and bought another set of Michelin X-Ice to fit the 17's and though only driven one winter I think they are great. They are not noisy and a great ride - better then the Conti's on 18 inch Wheels actually.
I used Amsoil 5w40 European Car formula or Gulf 5w40 Formula G in my A6 previously. Technically Amsoil doesn't have the have the VW 502 00, 505 00 certifications so I think I will start using Gulf Formula G or GX exclusively in my R, either the 5w40 or 5w30 grade.
Had to get water pump done on my A6 at 90000km / ~56000 miles. Was a couple years older than yours at the time, but still felt pretty low mileage to me.
Had the dealer do the water pump on my 09 A6 3.0t and it was like $1800 for that alone.
