2011 Audi A6 Engine Q&A

  • Why does my A6’s check engine light come on when I start it? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your A6 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are Audi A6 engine noises bad? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Audi A6 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Audi A6 engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I use water in my Audi A6 radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your A6 radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
  • What can cause the engine in my A6 to suddenly stop? Reasons your A6 car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
