![]() For the diesel engines, an inline four 1.9 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI), and the inline five (R5) 2.5 TDI (103 kW (140 PS 138 bhp)) were available. The new engines for the A6 were 1.8-litre 20v inline four-cylinder, 2.0-litre 8v inline four-cylinder, 2.6-litre 12V V6 and 2.8-litre 30v V6 petrol engines, with the 2.3-litre inline five engine being dropped on most markets. The United Kingdom was the first market to receive the A6, as stock of RHD Audi 100s had run out before expected, and before the rest of mainland Europe. The exterior was changed only slightly from the "C4" Audi 100 – new front and rear lights, new radiator grille, similarly with chassis and engine and transmission choices. ![]() In 1994, the latest generation (C4) of the Audi 100 received a facelift and was renamed as the Audi A6, to fit in with Audi's new alphanumeric nomenclature (as the full-size A8 had just been introduced). These are inline four-cylinder turbocharged engines and more powerful 3-litre units in a V6 configuration with a mechanical compressor.Īudi's executive car was previously named the Audi 100 (or Audi 5000 in the United States), and was released in three successive generations ( Audi C1, Audi C2 and Audi C3). ![]() The wide range of engines available have power outputs ranging from 150 to 333 PS (110 to 245 kW). The A6 has also been used as the basis for the company's Allroad models since 1999.īoth petrol and diesel versions of the A6 are offered. The related Audi A7 is essentially a Sportback ( liftback) version of the C7-series and C8-series A6 but is marketed under its own separate identity and model designation.Īll generations of the A6 have offered either front-wheel-drive or Torsen-based four-wheel-drive, marketed by Audi as their quattro system. Audi's internal numbering treats the A6 as a continuation of the Audi 100 lineage, with the initial A6 designated as a member of the C4-series, followed by the C5, C6, C7, and the C8. Now in its fifth generation, the successor to the Audi 100 is manufactured in Neckarsulm, Germany, and is available in saloon and estate configurations, the latter marketed by Audi as the Avant.

The sensor cable is only fitted to the rear driver's side Nd is the same As the front driver's side hub. The rear hubs require a Torq bit to remove the caliper retaining bolts noting their heads are covered by a rubber shroud. NOTE: The passenger's side hub needs a different sensor to the other wheels - this hub's sensor cable inserts into the new brake pad half way in - I'm assuming for the 50% warning or the + symbol that's displayed with some service letters ie B+. (The above also stops any faults being recorded on the computer, or the EBC module trying to charge itself, or pushing the brake pistons pushing out when your fingers are in the way.)Ĭhange the front pads as per any other car - 2 half inch retaining bolts to remove to allow the caliper to be moved out the way. Locked the car with the remote then put the key in a safe place.ĭisconnected the large electrical connector to the brake module on the drivers side under the bonnet- note the connector has a grab handle shape at the top that, when pulled up, will also cause the connector to self extract itself from the assembly. Switched off the parking lift alarm (a switch under the rear view mirror) otherwise the alarm will sound when you jack the car up. The only glitch was he said I'd need 3 sensors of one type, and 1 of another, but only needed 2 of the first type (and the 2nd type).Īs per other postings I simply did the following. I bought all 4 brake pads and sensors from eBay - the seller was very helpful - Doctorcar I think was his name. Was nervous about starting te job after Reading about the EBC brake hold function that's on this model - the one where it holds the brakes if you pulse the brake pedal.Ī 'Brake wear - visit workshop' message was being displayed in my centre screen in the speedometer. Just changed te brake pads on all 4 wheels on my 2004 E220 CDI estate.
