Audi e-tron

Hi all, its been a long time since I have been on boards. The case you mention above is all true as I know this person and helped with gathering information to help fight this known motor defect due to coolant intrusion caused by seal failure. It took a lot of fight with multiple emails by him and near legal action to get that end result but he got there in the end and I will do the same if that time ever comes. I have put around 25k on my 2022 55 Sline Black Edition since purchasing and just about to hit the 80k mark with zero issues. I check the coolant reservoir and cannister monthly for any coolant loss and its been fine so far and hope that continues. On a side note he enquired about a trade for a low mileage Q6 that was in Audi North recently and was told by the salesman it has a few issues including a failed charging port and would not be able to sell it to him at the moment. I would be weary buying a car with these sort of issues at such low mileage and why have they been traded in so early. Just food for thought…

Wife's Q4 displays that message when it goes below certain KMs range so I don't think it's a sign of anything.

Sorry…don't have that information.

You may be getting hung up on the concept of "maintaining the same standard" here.

We have no idea what EVs will be available and at what price in 8 years time.

Might be all Chinese - who knows.

When my E tron was in the garage this time last year (Suspected coolant leak) I test drove the BYD Seal&Sealion. At the time the missis said they are nice cars,But i would regret moving away from Audi(Maybe she just likes driving my car)

Have the A6 a year in July and while i had some initial issues not with the car itself but the dealership, I'm starting to like the car. My reasoning for buying the new car was that i just wanted rid of the E tron and with my Father having passed away a few weeks beforehand. I was in one of these moods that ye can't take the money with you so might as well spend it.

I suppose it really depends on your circumstances, Actually just talking to the misiss and was saying i will keep the car until 2028. She reckons i get a newer model within in 6 months.

Also the fact the prices are coming down would be another reason to get one imo.

the 24 Q6 with high spec you were discussing earlier has already lost a ton of value from new. I would think that over the course of the next few years it wouldn’t depreciate any more and may perform better than a mainstream brand bought new for similar money now.

if you liked the car, might give you negotiating power to do a deal subject to it being fixed and warrantied?

Wouldn’t bother me if they are sorting it.

That's what happend with me last year when they eventually found the issue with the E tron SX6 battery module, I was jumping for joy that it wasn't the coolant leak. But still had to wait for the part to come in and to be fitted.

I think it's more down to garages not having enough lads trained up on EV that is the problem.

On another note i wonder would a garage who had to replace a motor due to coolant leaks be willing to still sell the fat e tron.
