C5 A6 reliability - better info - please sign up
With JET's support, for which I am very grateful, I've been posting about TrueDelta's reliability research about once a month.
What we provide: actual repair rates updated promptly four times a year.
Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.
Additional participants needed for all model years. To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results for free.
To sign up to help (if you haven't already) click the link below.
Finally, a big "thank you" to everyone who has been participating.<ul><li><a href="http://www.truedelta.com/reliability.php">Vehicle reliability research - need more Audis</a></li></ul>

178k 98 a6 2.8 quattro, no problems and I do my own work, always...
Ive replaced the control arms twice
tie rods
axles, cv boots
brake lines, brake pads, rotors
belts
oil pan (grand central parkwaysfault)
etc
in all ive spent about $1k doing all that thanks to ebay and doing my own work, I love hearing "my audi is so expensive to keep up, blah blah blah"
I laugh
get a repair manual, put your hands to work, mechanical inclination is hardly the issue, much of it is just reading and common sense, I started doing this when I was 16 (20 now) and it hasnt failed me yet. and as for "time to do it" I make time, sometimes I do this **** at 1 am, if you got a friend to help you and drink a few beers with, the time flies and you enjoy doing it.

In about a month we'll start previewing the next set of results to participants. More always helpful. Especially need 1998s, 1999s, and 2004s.

Thanks, Enzeru, I appreciate it.
343 A6 owners signed up so far. A good start, but more remain needed to fully cover all model years of the C5.
