I have an 2001 Audi a6 Quattro. I was driving the other day and I'll send my started overheating and it said my fluids were empty. When I put in antifreeze or water in the radiator it all spilled out. I just had my oil changed in all my fluids topped off. What do you think would cause this problem?

Apr 20, 2017 - On the 2.8 you need to jack the vehicle up -keeping it level - run the motor until the trans is at a specified temp as indicated on VagCom - and fill the trans until the fluid drips out of the top hole. ATF filter (as on most cars) is located in the transmission oil pan. The filter is attached to the valve body. 2001 A4, 2.8L Quattro Automatic - Transmission: To Flush, or ...

You will need the systems control module scanned for fault codes, when the light is on a code is in memory.

Well I guess you know the engine is overheating, this means death to the engine if you are driving it this way. Seek out a repair shop and have the problem diagnosed and hope you haven't blown out the engine head gaskets

Hi there:the Audi manual never talks about a 2 stage aux fan just that the aux fan runs with ac on and it can run with out ac on if there is an overheat issue on the coolant side where as the a4 info clearly states a 2 stage aux fan system that would lead me to think the early 4.2 did not use a 2 stage system. Your car is not overheating and boiling over out of the coolant tank it is showing a little hotter than what would be perfect but it is still in what Audi calls acceptable range. The whole coolant system is new I would start looking at your sensor and gage systems there is a coolant sensor in the rad but that is most likely new if they replaced the rad. The gage uses a temp sensor on the engine for the gage I would replace that sensor and test the gage with a resistance input tool we have at the dealer. Could be a gouge or the wiring to it. There is a coolant fan module that could be defective if your sure there was a two speeds to the aux fan.




Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

i have a 2001 Audi A6 quattro 95,000 miles when i change gear the car seems to over rev or keep reving when i put my foot on the clutch for a split second chould you tell me why is this

i dont know but a pontiac grand am you have to unscrew a cap a put your finger in hole you have to look in the front back and sides carefully and slowly this method works for me when i have trouble try not to overlook it

The trans don't have a dipstick, they have to be checked at a dealership with a vag tool, they have to be checked at a certian temperature of operation, as far as fluid i would use the audi recommended G-052-162-A2 atf fluid required

replace the coil pack, sounds like it is over heating.
