Description of the problem | I think the audi recall needs to include more years. It ends at 2015 a6. I have a 2016 a6 that needed towed in march. I was driving and the car started smoking, the engine coolant was gone, and the car had to be towed in. The problem seems the same as the recall for the coolant system that was just announced. They replaced the coolant system in march of this year. My vehicle only had about 26k miles. |
