Product Overview

Audi A6 C6 (Typ 4F) is an executive sedan in production from 2004 to 2008, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of V6, V8, and inline-4 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.2 liters.

Compared to the C5 A6, Audi introduced a range of major changes: The new 6-speed ZF 6HP transmission replaced the 5HP unit. This transmission has proven to be more reliable, although in Audi's applications it did not receive the correctly-sized oil cooler or OEM-specified oil change interval, leading to premature failures. The FWD models instead use CVT transmissions marketed as "Multitronic". In reality, the wiser choice was the 6-speed manual.

Engine-wise, FSI was just becoming available. Unfortunately, these engines have since proven to suffer from carbon build-up issues across the board.

Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
