i've suggested merging these pages since the Allroad was a version of the A6. What do people think? Spute 17:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No real need to. The S6 and RS6 are less distinguishable from the A6 than the Allroad, and they have articles. So I'd keep it separated. --Pc13 21:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the S6 and RS6 should be merged into Audi A6 too - thery're all versions of the same car really.Spute 09:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the S6 and RS6 pages are large enough not be merged. Right now, I think it's best to keep them separated. Maybe what the Allroad article needs is to be expanded, no? - Pc13 11:17, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Audi itself calls this car "Audi Allroad" and NOT "Audi A6 Allroad" . It is treatened as a own modell all the way through starting with a own section on Audis webpages. So the Allroad is accourding to Audi not a A6 variaton. Why should we do different then Audi?
No, the Allroad is completely different to the A6. The allroad article should be expanded becaues i mean, it is a revolutionary car which IS NOT an A6 , audi specifically removed the A6 from its name.
It would seem obvious then to remove the merge tag, and mark the Allroad article a stub. Assuming no one objects I'll do this. Tom Foolery 18:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Reference to the Allroad was just removed from the article heading. Whereas I agree that it shouldn't be listed as a third body style, I think it should be up there, so I'm going to reword it and reinsert it. TomTheHand 14:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Drivetrain?

[edit]

Why is the A6 Listed as a "FF AWD"? Surely with a brandname like Quattro no one can assume it to be driven by only the front wheels... perhaps a change to "Front Engined AWD" (with the appropriate links) would be more suitable? --Odii 12:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The A6 is available with front wheel drive in Europe. I've added a comma to separate the two options. TomTheHand 13:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, good to know. --Odii 23:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Presentation

[edit]

Is there another way to present the engine information? Currently, the tables look clunky and extend past the rest of the section. Perhaps a bullet point system, like the ones used on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the BMW 5-Series? --Odii 23:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Awards

[edit]

What does it mean when it says it "Was drawn by..."? Bok269 22:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MMI

[edit]

A Wikipedia article on MMI has been added. Should I link to it in the 'See Also' column? —Preceding unsigned comment added by C-bro (talkcontribs) 19:11, 14 August 2006

I'd say you should rather integrate the info on it in the text. And sign your comments :D

C6 engine range

[edit]

The 2.4 V6 engine for the latest model of the A6 (known as the C6) does not have the five valves per cylinder that the previous engine line up had but four, as in the new line up only the 4.2 V8 retained the 5 valve per cylinder set up, all other engines went down to 4. So the 2.4 V6 is a 24 valve engine not a 30 valve engine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Movingpictures100@hotmail.com (talkcontribs) 13:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

C4 picture

[edit]

The C4 "Audi 100" pictured is actually a UrS4, not a 100. They're both on the C4 platform obviously, but not the same car. There's an emerald green C4 A6 that parks by me at work I can take a picture of for the article if people think I should. Dobelover12725 05:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Metric system

[edit]

Shouldn't we use the metric system for the dimensions? Beside being a world standard the metric system has other advantages, such as inter unit compatibility. At least using the metric system with the imperial system in brackets would be recommendable.

1999-2003 2.5L TDI camshaft wear

[edit]

The 2.5L TDI engine that was offered on the C5 from 1999 until 2003 (at least the 180 PS version, engine code AKE) is infamous in Audi enthusiast circles for the poor quality of the steel used in its camshafts and tappets, leading to excessive wear (see [1] and [2]) and sometimes catastrophic engine failure after as little as 100,000 km. If has blacklisted all Audi models with 2.5TDI engines because of this ([3]). However, I'm having a hard time finding English-language references. Does anyone know of any? DES (talk) 12:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cylinder configuration

[edit]

Inline engines are sometimes listed as Ix, sometimes as Sx. Sometimes the Ix/Sx/Vx designation links to the corresponding article, sometimes not. As far as I can tell, factboxes consistently use the Ix notation rather than the Sx notation; I therefore suggest that we replace Sx with Ix throughout the article, and remove the haphazard links. DES (talk) 11:56, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Turbo, TDI and FSI still don't consistently link to the corresponding article, though. DES (talk) 15:46, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unlimited top speeds.

[edit]

Changed unlimited top speeds from 199 mph to 168 and 174 on the V8 TT engines. See the C5 RS6 page for actual top speed referance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.199.51.136 (talk) 23:41, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eminem Commercial Controversy

[edit]

Should this be mentioned in the article? (in case you don't know, Eminem's Eight Mile Style sued Audi for their 2011 Avant A6 commercial, claiming it to be inspired by a Chrysler-commercial in which he appeared) Snikch 20:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Audi A6 C6 3.0 2005-2008

[edit]

The C6 version of Audi A6 (pre-facelift 2005-2008) was available also with the 3.0 V6 engine with 220 cv.

At least in Argentina and Uruguay.

I don't find it here or in the german version of wikipedia.

The Audi A6 C8 facelift will be launched on 2023. Derwydd74 (talk) 12:48, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

C6 facelift engines - query

[edit]

Did the 2.0 16v TFSI engine really produce 185 kW? That seems remarkably sporty. (No such engine is apparent in the 'List of VW engines' articles). 2A00:23C7:D29D:4E01:48A5:E9D9:9DAB:61AC (talk) 02:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3.0i V6 Petrol 160kw in the A6L C6 & C6 Avant

[edit]

I don’t know how to edit wikipedia but you should add the 160kw 3.0 V6 engine to the list of engines for the A6 C6 generation. They feature in the A6L and in the Avant. Both are quattro factory Hyperwrld (talk) 07:19, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
