Have you chucked and exhaust on yours by any chance?? I've have mine for about a year, but the only thing that I want too critique about the car, (only due too my own preference) is the exhaust is so quiet. Sometimes I am outstanded by it but, wouldn't mind something with a bit more life too it. If you have an exhaust is it custom, or did u pick out a brand like armytrix or ipe?

which year made your car? I've also pulley and ecu tuning but not APR, APR checked the issue here in Turkey but they couldn't tell me if there's two or single pulley upgrade. if you can tell me your all modification list I'll be very happy, this engine with s-tronic have amazing capacity for power

@@fahreddinkaya9819 Nothing special. MY2012. Dual pulley (57mm/187mm) APR ECU tune. HP Tuners TCU tune. Only other mods are a MercRacing heat exchanger and an intake tube.

@pkmode still got it?

@@Mc88Flyy I do. With COVID and used market prices, I decided just to keep driving her. I'm about to do intercooler cores and PCV service soon but she keeps chugging along. I just destroyed a 997 C2S on lunch break. Nothing impressive but still fun. He tried to make a run on me on the fwy and I let him go by only to reel him in and pass by like he was standing still.

That’s an amazing compliment, thank you. Their quality and attention to detail is absolutely stellar, so I really appreciate that.

Thank you, really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed.

I forgot to add that I test drove 17 other cars (including BMWs, a Mercedes C250, Mazdas, Volkswagens, a Honda Accord V6, a Hyundai Genesis and Elantra, a Toyota Camry, and some Audis) and the A6 was my favorite by far. It's a great car.

I have a 2013 a6 3,0 I also have had the light indicators saying broken for the past year or so u have no worries.

Omg I was also eyeing to get my hand on vw cc VR6 but have no luck as its pretty rare to find that model as I live in NYC. How do you find this model significantly better than competitors? Did you get any extended warranty as well to cover possible unnecessary repairs?

@@rolo4816 seeing both of your comments, should I go for a 2013 A6 3.0t supercharged with 133,000miles????

What type of gas does it use ?

That sweet sweet algorithm hahaha.

Because the government can hear everything you say and think

because your phone has a microphone that listens to whatever you talk

How has it held up for you 2 years later? I'm about to pick up the same exact car, one owner with 90k mi.

How many miles did it have when you bought it?

@@connorcuzzacrea2026 57k. 71.5k now

How has it been. There's a very clean one for sale near me. 2012. 120k miles tho

Glad you enjoyed it!

That must have been a pretty uncomfortable year haha! Glad to help 👍🏼

Thanks man, glad it helped you make the decision. They are great cars with one of the best engines Audi has ever made (not just my opinion but that of a master Audi technician I know). The stage 1 tune is some of the best $$ you can spend.

That’s extremely interesting, I had no idea you could get the sport diff on an A6 of any trim! Good call!

Typo...... 2018 model year offered 'competition' trim package too.

Nice how do you like it is quick any problems with it I'm thinking of getting one

@@simranjeetrocks 100% buy

Should I get one with 133,000miles?? For $13,000??? Going to take a look on Friday

​@@brandonmorales4373did you get it?

How many miles did you get it at? What is at now? And any issues since this comment?

I bought it with 70k miles on it. I drive a lot for work so now I am pushing 115k miles. Only main issue I have now is it’s oil consumption. It burns oil like crazy and makes you add one quart of oil every couple hundred miles even after an oil change. Checked for leaks during routine services and there aren’t any. So now I’m in the process of trading it for something else before they tell me I need a new engine lol.

@@RishanJ The oil consumption is most likely the PCV valve. That’s the most common issue with those engines. aside from that, I read that those engines are the most bulletproof engine Audi ever made. Definitely look into that issue

Glad you enjoyed; I’ve been slowly learning over the years how to give them a somewhat cinematic feel.

Thanks man, would stay far from F10 550i though, that engine is apparently a nightmare to maintain. Fail catastrophically sometimes too. Only say that because I wanted one but the more research I did the scarier they seemed to own lol.

@@BuzzytheBlue good to know, I'll steer clear. Thanks

Easy enough to find other steering wheels, there’s a surprisingly large market for aftermarket or “upgraded” OEM wheels on BMWs and Audis. I had found S6 style wheel (don’t remember if OEM or not) for like $600.

+1. I love having physical buttons and knobs, as opposed to flat, lifeless touch-screens.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that! And they are a massive amount of car for the money. Buuuut, if you wanted to spend even less you could always grab the older C6 A6 with the 3.0T. Still extremely quick and excellent performer, just older styling and the mediocre 6AT vs the awesome 8AT. Those are DIRT cheap and respond almost identically to tuning.

Wow, those are super low miles. How do you like everything else? Besides the broken windshield haha. I'm about to pick up the same exact car, one owner at 90k miles.

Definitely! That’s pretty low mileage for one of these to be honest. The 3.0T and ZF8 auto are very durable and reliable. Bring it to a respected independent Audi repair shop, never the dealer (hugely expensive), or work on it yourself and you’ll be fine. The one in the video has 100K and is rock solid.

Nope, Brake pad wear sensor triggered during the drive.

It’s a 2012, but in the US we only got the 8 speed ZF auto, no DCT for us in the A6 3.0Ts. With the DCT and sport diff it must be awesome!

DJI Mavic 2 Pro

I haven’t driven a B9 yet. What makes you miss the supercharged engine versus the new turbo? Less instant power response?

BuzzytheBlue The A6 Unser boost sounded great. I’m completely stock in my B9 S4 and don’t get me wrong, I love it! On the butt dyno, it definitely felt faster and more nimble than the C7 S6 and S7 I drove . I think I just need a high flow car and APR tune to open the car up a little more, and make it more fun.

Haha have same stage 2 full intake sistem carbon fiber

crazy i jus wrecked my 2016 2.0 a6 and jus brought the a6 prestige 3.0 love this car⚡️

U happen to get any of those yet I’m looking for a new daily and had those cars in my lineup too

Believe get the Audi. It’s a driving exp

If you want pure fun and excitement, get an S4.

@@Justrelaxshawdytv late response but I got the f30

@@devindaoheuang9240 yea they’re awesome . My bud owns one

A couple different towns, all central CT near the river though!

Im running 450 on mine w a tune and only a few parts from IE

I'm possibly buying a 2013 A6 Prestige, how expensive is it to have it tuned? I felt like 310hp was a little weak, mainly comparing to a 400hp bmw 650i I used to have.

​@@nathanielcraig3588well 400hp bmw is gonna feel faster than slightly above 300hp audi...

As with most Audi’s from this era it slots somewhere between BMW and Mercedes in ride comfort. With Mercedes being the softest and BMW being the most stiff. The A6 is a nice balance between comfort and performance.

Can’t go wrong with APR. They have arguably done the most R&D into these platforms.

2012 Audi A6 premium plus here with 82,000 miles. APR stage II dual pulley, (93 octane tune) AWE touring exhaust with resonated down pipes, AWE S-Flow intake, APR CPS (coolant performance System), Eurocode front/rear sway bars, factory sport suspension, Adam's Rotors slotted brake kit, SS braided flex brake hoses, updated/revised Audi supercharger intercoolers (larger passageways). I purchased car 5 years ago at 17K miles. I installed all hardware myself, maintain my vehicle religiously when Audi Care expired. APR tune has been reliable with zero issues. Car is/has been reliable.... but, I take care of it and perform all maintenance myself. Some caveats.... Audi recommends 10K oil change, I change oil/filter at 5K, Audi states transmission is lubed for life, ZF (transmission manufacturer) recommends replacing fluid at 80K or sooner. Audi states differentials are lubed for life.... Ugh. I changed out all fluids. This car is a sleeper and off the line is a beast. Traveling on freeway and lane opens up, mash the throttle and instant response. Dyno run shows consistent pulls of 475 HP at the crank. Regardless of platform, the 3.0 V-6 is highly tunable and reliable.

@@kevinriordan7842 is it necessary to buy extended carmax warranty, would you say that would help saving me a few dollars in foreseeable future? I love A7 but the value is alot more for basically the same engine different looks

@@vincentv1790 I wouldn't buy extended warranty if thousands of $$$$. If you plan on tuning, warranty will be null and void. The 3.0 V6, ZF transmission are highly reliable. The entire drive train is highly reliable. Now the electronics? I haven't had any issues but, there are something like 40 computer modules within the cars network. So what price piece of mind. I work on my vehicles and have access to software to troubleshoot issues too. Again, my A6 has been very reliable.

@@kevinriordan7842 appreciated the feedback, and any difference throughout the model year? C7 or C7.5? Best year to get and what trims is the most worth it? Again thank you for your quick response!!

Especially agree regarding the screens. I enjoyed driving the C7 around with the main MMI display hidden. No replacement for true physical buttons/knobs.

If it’s been well taken care of, good maintenance records etc I wouldn’t be too concerned if the price is right.

@BuzzytheBlue OK thanks . It's a 2012 they are selling it for 7.5k usd. I'm thinking about it..

The seven speed DCT is only in Europe. In the US we got an eight speed torque converter automatic.

@@BuzzytheBlue aa okay so the sevenspeed is the best because is it dct?

Both are great transmissions, but the DCT is probably a bit better/more responsive yes.

Not if well-maintained

I’ve had my 2017 A6 competition s-line since new. Scheduled maintenance, nothing else. The best daily driver I’ve ever owned. It’s a beast for our 🇨🇦 winters. I plan on keeping it long term, which is 8-10 yrs for me.

Which one. There are differences in the C7 and C7.5 with the latter using less. Either way, if I had to put a quart in the car every six months, it would be a small price to pay for a car with performance potential an luxury like this car.

@@Todd.T ２０１２audi a7 tfsi supercharge

Yep in the U.S. we got the ZF8. Jealous that you guys got the dual-clutch.

@@BuzzytheBlue Well I'm jealous that you got the 8speed😂

@@murtsiz99 Don't be! There's no tune for the ZF-8 speed transmission for the C7 A6 whereas there are plenty of tunes you can get for the 7 speed dual clutch. I have the 2012 Audi A6 3.0t in this exact color and I absolutely love it (APR stage 1). I love the transmission too, but the transmission unfortunately can't be tuned like the dual clutch can. The dual clutch changes gears faster as well. APR should be coming out with a tune for the ZF-8 speed transmission soon though as I have been in contact with them regarding tuning my transmission to shift at a higher rev limiter and get all around more power to the wheels.

@@christianjohnson8884 I would like the s-tronic but it really can't take over 200k km(125k miles) without mechatronics and clutch rebuild. The mechatronics does go faulty and wear clutches out

@@christianjohnson8884 Thats true it's little bit faster, but I like durability over performance. I'm just thinking of changing my C5 S6 manual to C6 A6 3.0T. Would go for the c7 if it had the zf, thats my opinion.

Typically very much so! The 3.0T is a relatively trouble free engine, and the ZF 8 speed auto is also very durable.

@@BuzzytheBlue appreciate it man! I’ve been looking into them.

one *big* problem really the only one is a timing belt guild issue aeound 120k miles costs 900 to fix due to labor but after that you'll easily last upwards of 200k miles

@@ginsudiaz7675 $900, that's it? I thought it would be more than that.

It isn’t, that is a wear indicator for the rear brake pads. This car wouldn’t have been going anywhere with the electronic handbrake engaged haha.

Ha! It’d be a short review…. “GET THE 2.0T OR YOURE KILLING THE RAINFOREST”

This car is about to hit 100,000 miles and hasn’t had any issues. The owner will be doing the water pump preventatively though.

i got a 2013 no leakes everything still works

My daily driver is a 2015 A6 Prestige. Bought used with 30k miles. Currently at 70k. No problems other than the brakes were in bad shape when I bought it.

@@Petermcnaughtonhomes Nice, Water Pump and Thermostat will come sooner than later now. Audi makes one of the most unreliable cooling systems in the world.

The worst is the coolant leak from the plastic pipe that runs under the supercharger from the thermostat housing. It's the labor that sucks

Do you know if it’s a different DCT to the one in the B8 S4? It must be if they’re so fragile. That’s too bad.

Here in the U.S. 2011 A6s are C6 generation. European markets got the C7 in early 2011, the U.S. in 2012.
