Arranging the work for the A6
The 2016 Audi A6 and a diagnostic check: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your A6 and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-speed automatic.
From request to repair
You approve the shop's quote before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. The rental is priced like any other on our site. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Let us know
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
Request car diagnostics
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
