Coolant leak in A6 2.7T manual quattro year 2000
 

Hi thank you for your time on any feedback on the following My car has 140000 miles and has a coolant leak on the coolant line on the left bank. Need to remove engine to repair this hose that has a metal backing. they recommend replace all turbo lines and gaskets. I will also need coolant pipe baskets at rear of cylinder heads. Is $8330. a reasonable price? Also upper radiator hose is leaking coolant $1319. Then timing belt is suggested$2276. So all together 16000.00 thousand and that does not include the 160,000 check. My Car has always been great. The leather is in great shape. Is this a good idea to spend on a year 2000.? Thank you for any advice

I would not pay that...

Find an independent audi mechanic and sell it to him for $500. He'll be happy and you will be financially solvent.

Where are you located? Bring your car though :)

A 2.7T with manual transmission with 140k, is the best A6 model in my mind. Definitely worth keeping, but $16k seems a lot.

I would get a couple of other estimates, I would think you could get it done for less, alternatively sell it. There should be many potential buyers for that model on this forum.

Arizona,

People have transported or trailered their vehicle from out of state, if this is an option for you.

I offer full rebuilds/ upgrades on many Audi platforms.
