Questions About 1998 Audi A6 Quattro’s Transmission

The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your A6 Quattro’s towing capacity.

  • Does my A6 Quattro's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Audi A6 Quattro’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Audi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
