I'm considering buying an Audi A6 Avant.

Considering buying a 2006 Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TFSI. Are there any known issues with this car and engine or anything in particular to watch out for? How reliable have they proven to be?

Hi Conor,

We've heard of a few electronic glitches (faulty cruise control, sticky electric handbrakes), but other than that, the A6 seems to be built to the usual solid Audi standards. As always, if you're looking at a high mileage one, remember that this is a complex, expensive car so make sure it has a full service history and appears to have been cared for.
