@@TRManiac101My big bro had a 3.2 a6. It absolutely pissed oil and stained the driveway. Apparently those oil leaks are a common issue with them too. Personally I’d either go for the diesel v6s or the 3.0L tfsi
@@Zabestinzawest It's not that big of a deal, most VAG engines (even their diesel engines) require the tensioners, guides and/or chains to be replaced if the engine has some mileage. Not regularly maintaining your engine oil can accelerate the process (stupid long life idea) but even 2L TFSI engines nowadays have the same issue. VAG doesn't know how to build reliable chain cam system. But when replaced in time or when first small symptoms start then you're good. Speaking out of experience, still driving an 3.2 FSi with over 200k miles daily.
This c6 is far better built then c7. I have c7. Yes my engine is diesel 3 liter v6 but overall quality of my car and engine is dissaster. This one is a keeper trust me 😉😉😉
I have the Audi A6 2.8 FSI V6 Pro Line S, from 2013 very reliable, very good family car, just do regular thing (oil, filters etc.) and you will have happy many happy years. P.S. dont buy the TFSI engines (they use a lost of oil)
I don’t know how much the 3.0 tfsi. But the 3.2 NA v6 Quattro have this consumption: on the city 14-16 l/100km On the highway 7-9 l/100km ( 100 - 120 km/h) Full throttle easily more than 20 l/100km
If the fuel consumption and the almost 5 meters long are no problem for you. it all depends on the use that you are going to give it. The car is comfortable, has good qualities, the TipTronic gearbox does not give problems (at least to me). I think it is a good first car. but again I repeat, it all depends on what you look for in a car.
All ICE engines do unless your driving EV or electric only in hybrid. Normal consumption for 3.2 is 12-16 city, 7-10 highway. The computer just calculates the current fuel consumption and looks at how fast you are going for that consumption. In some VW cars the scale is higher and it shows up to 99,9L/100km when accelerating from standstill, so yeah. If you floor it in lets say 6th gear it will not read 40L/100km, but if you give it gas gently in first gear from standstill: Instant scale maxed out until some reasonable speed is achieved. Even if you stand still for hours your still burn around 2-3L per hour but because no distance is made your fuel usage is "infinite."
Adrians gamers LV you’re so right man. I have this exact car and my buddy has the a4 with this engine and his sounds way better. I thinks it’s because the a6 is more luxurious and Audi wanted as little sound as possible.
The 2.4 sounds like it has forced induction when its in the higher revs. I never heard that kind of intake whistle/wind noise from the 3.2 when accelerating hard, the 2.4 was kinda unique in that sense for me. The 2.8 and 3.2 only sound deeper but not necessarily better in my opinion. 4.2 and 5.0/5.2 are a whole other beast in their own rights. 2.0TFSI is meh. You can try to find a video to compare the sound of 2.4 and 3.2 but it's not the same. When sitting in both cars you will hear the difference. VR and W engines sound great though, but those were only delivered to the A3 (3.2 VR6) and A8 (6.0 W12)
You can hear that little slack, but they're great until they go, can even be fixed with an indy relatively cheap - for the performance and features, worth every penny as the depreciation curve drops fast.
The car has 200,000 kilometers. When I had 180,000km everything was checked, including the distribution. And everything was fine. My unit has a very slight oil consumption, approx 400ml every 3000km. Before buying, check that all the services are done! Better ask at the Audi Center. It is a good engine! and don't be scared by your Q5!
The car we are looking at has 98000 sounds the exact same just wondering if yours always had this sound really scheduled an appointment with Audi for Monday to scope it plus I would never buy with out a warranty I guess
Genial, genial... Audi lo mejor
This is stock?? It sounds really nice actually
Very nice description
Nice engine until the timing chain tensioners go bad.
How much does it cost?
@@2024-x4o fixing timing chain tensioners? Maybe $500 if you DIY it, or around $3,500 to pay an independent or $10k for a dealer job
@@PVflying USD?
@@2024-x4o yes. It’s a job I’ve done myself. Takes a while but not too bad as a diy repair. Was kinda fun!
Would you recommend taking the 3.0 V6 TDI over the 3.2 FSI?
These Audi’s have DSG gearboxes or not? And what’s the top speed?
Hi, this Audi have a TipTronic Gearbox ( with torque converter ) and the top speed of my unit was 260-265 km/h ( tacho no GPS ).
@@365MOTORSPORT one of my relatives have an Audi with the same specs that’s why i was curious...anyway thanks for the information👍

personally if it is an TFSI engine, you will have some oil problems with it. Just buy the FSI version, (without the turbo) no problems at all
@@DonHrvato Whats the reliability like on the FSI version as Im looking to buy one
@@TRManiac101My big bro had a 3.2 a6. It absolutely pissed oil and stained the driveway. Apparently those oil leaks are a common issue with them too. Personally I’d either go for the diesel v6s or the 3.0L tfsi
Are these 3.2 TFSI engines reliable ? I would love to own A6 like this prices are really down like 5k for A6 with manual.
This is the fsi has no turbos can be reliable be watch out for carbon build up
No big No! Problem with chain tensioners
you mean 3.0 TFSI
3.2 FSi*

Were you using sport mode?
You did 6 secs, nice I do 7.5 secs on drive mode, is it ok?
Fwd or 4x4?
Hi,
AWD Quattro ( Torsen )
Hey, when you accelerate there is a small noice it’s like squealing noise. I wanted to know if it’s normal? Cuz my a6 does the same thing
timing chain tensioners go bad.
@Pier Cassandria who are you??
@@sumvr3619 Squealing noise doesn't come from the chains/tensioners. That should sound like clatter/metal on metal ticking contact.

The 3.2 engine are with turbo or not?
Samu Matei The 3.2 V6 fsi is NA and the 3.0 v6 tfsi is Compressor.

Much quicker than 2.4 but I dont like the sound so much
I prefer the sound from VR6 ( 12v or 24v ) than V6 24v FSI

The ticking noise on these are the high pressure FSI fuel injectors. All the FSIs sound like that, and are supposed to.
