2001 Audi A6 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$40.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual is built specifically around the 2001 Audi A6 with the 2.8L V6 (engine code ATQ), so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and repair steps inside are the ones Audi actually published for that engine and trim rather than a generic A6-era approximation.
Engines covered
- 2.8L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- Base
Known issues on the 2001 A6. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two separate campaigns cover the fuel tank rollover valve, where aging plastic and bending stress on the aluminum ventilation line can crack the valve nipple and lead to a fuel leak near an ignition source. Two more cover the headlight switch connector wiring: pins in the connector can short-circuit, leading to overheating or fire, and on some vehicles a driver's knee against the knee bolster can push it into the wiring harness and start a fire in the left dashboard area. A windshield wiper defect can let one wiper lag behind the other under heavy load, causing the blades to tangle and impair visibility. A fuel sending unit issue lets sulfur deposits build on the tank contacts, so the gauge can read full when the tank is actually low or empty. A tire-selection recall found certain 2.7L-equipped vehicles exceeded the allowable axle load rating for their fitted tire size under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110. Owners have filed 113 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a fuel tank rollover valve inspection to sorting out the headlight switch wiring, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2001 A6.
