Model year 2000, Audi A6 quattro wagon 4 instances of sub-standard equipment: 1) abs warning lights due to defective abs controller a very common problem which the manufacturer should be forced to recall. 2) sub-standard materials used in the vent tubing in the engine compartment (cheap plastic that breaks causing increased emissions output harming the environment). 3) dashboard warning display led faulty, a very common problem which the manufacturer should be forced to recall. 4)plastic components in interior of the auto break easily poor plastic strength (ie cupholder, buttons etc).
Information display on instrument cluster is not readable. Many lines on the lcd display keep it from providing critical information.
The center instument cluster has been in and out for as long as I have owned the car. Some days, when the planets align correctly, the display will be mostly visible. On most days, however, most pixels are not visible, some are faded, and certain critical warnings cannot be seen. . . You can hear the beeping, but have no clue what is failing! if this were a plug and play part I would have replaced it by now. . . But the whole thought of having to solder the lcd in discourages a fix. This is an inherent issue with the c5 line. . . Cannot believe Audi has never recalled for this issue! clearly this is a problem.
The lcd in the instrument cluster which displays any warning lamps was failing. This was a very common problem. Without use of this display I will not know if I have a check engine light, brake failure light or so forth. I know over 100 people with this same problem ,and I am not making this up.
