When I start slowing down the front tires start shaking after I apply the break. What is causing that ?

You have one or two warped front brake rotors. Many things can cause warped rotors. Here are a few.1) Braking quite a bit, causing the rotors to heat up, and then going through a mud puddle or water which will cause rapid cooling of the disc.2) Rotors made in China, which sometimes will warp prematurely.3) Rotors that have been "surfaced" (ground down) during a brake job beyond their recommended thickness.4) Bad luck. ( re: Heaven knows)3 Cures. (You ain't gonna believe this!)a) Take the offending rotors off and hit them with a sledge hammer. This worked for me once. ( You frighten them to death.)b) Take the car or rotors to a shop and see if they can "turn" them on a machine to true them up. This is the same machine that is used to "grind them down".c) Replace them. I recommend no Chinese. (See above)

Audi a6 quattro 2001 coolant disappears, engine overheats and white smoke comes out

Unfortunate you're losing coolant into the cylinders, where it's being burned off and exiting out the exhaust. When you initially added that cold coolant into the hot radiator, and hot engine (sit down) you likely cracked the engine block. Best case you just need to replace the head gasket.

My audi a6 is pulling off in 3rd gear only what is the solution to this problem

That doesn't sound good, sounds like a transmission problem. First try changing the transmission fluid. if that doesn't work find a reputable shop to take a look at it.

At this point you need a complete rebuild Once the slipping starts the clutches are burntAfter the trans is broken down then you may betold what caused the problem but I doubt itIf you don't change the trans & power steering fluidsevery 3 years you loose the trans & the steering rack will be next & then all your other vehicles the sameSame for brake fluid--every 2 years or big dollarsfor ABS Unit

Car wont start turns over but doesnt fire

I can almost bet you had a certain shop do the replacement... I won't say but if the shops name starts with a F and ends with a E then They did the same thing to an elderly neighbor who lived close and It was exacly as you discribed, I took it back to them and 3 sets later, they finally got it right.. Their tires **** also!! Just my opinon... Gather your paperwork and call them and make them pay to tow it and Have them repair it... Theres been too many complaints against them for just that one issue!! Stay on them and Good luck!! You paid for a service and a part, The part didn't fail without help from bad Mechanic
