ok so looking for a new ar and have stumbled upon an Audi A6 2.7 Bi Turbo Quattro for sensible money....
this is the sellers description of whats wrong:
When driven from cold it runs like a dream, as soon as it warms up it feels like its hesitating. If you drive it normally it runs great no missing, ticks over smoothly its only when you toe it and only when it warm. I have had it on a VAG machine and checked out but couldn’t find no faults, i have given up because i have not got the time or funds to get it checked further hence selling to someone in the know who could fix it
Also when you put your foot down and i can hear a clonking noise from the drivers side front, driveshaft possibly?
ok first bit sounds to me like it could be MAF or Lambda related? same kinda symptoms as the VR had when i first got it, and MAF faults dont always show up on VAGcom etc.
second bit im thinking poss driveshaft, maybe shaft counterweights even ( do A6 have counterweights?lol) or CV's balljoints etc, ie nothing major.
Anyone have any other ideas? The price is good enough that i wouldnt mind throwing £600ish at fixing it, but just hoping to narrow things down slightly before making an offer!
cheers guys
