Trouble or not...


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Need some advice... i brought the a6 (4.2) for service,i end up with a quote to replace a few gaskets due to an oil leak.

They claim that the crank rear seal, crank front seal and torque converter seal need replacement. As such they need to remove the entire engine and also recommend to change out the transmission gaskets and fluids etc. Transmission fluid alone is 3k and the total bill runs up to 13k.

The car is 2006 with 110 on the clock and runs absolutely awesome and the oil consumption is currently less than 0.2L/1.000km.

Im not sure what to do... Any thoughts?

Regards,

If leak isnt so much that you see on parking spot, i would advise leave it. Older car than 5-6 years tends to develop few leaks here and there. Just deal the critical leaks and dont start spending if its not critical. Mechanic's and workshop make mole of a mountain to get more business. If you intend to keep car for long then deal with it step by step according to their criticalness. As of now just top up every month, big deal.
