Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro aut. and Sprite

Andy H reviewed on 25 June 2021 a Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro aut. (272 PS/200 Kw, Year: 2016 - 2018) with a Sprite Major 4 SB of n.a. kg.

Morning all .
I tow with a 2016 audi A6 272 3.0 V6 TDI estate.
The power is great and will pull the sprite Major 4sb with ease. Make sure you have the gear box in auto ! I fitted spring tensioners to the rear and found this was the better drive when towing. Also make sure you have 75 kg on the tow hitch.

Great towing car when hitched and loaded correctly with the power to get you out of trouble plus 4x4 ...

Audi A6 2.0 TDI aut. and Fendt

Svend reviewed on 28 July 2018 a Audi A6 2.0 TDI aut. (190 PS/140 Kw, Year: 2016 - 2018) with a Fendt Bianco 515 SG Selection of 1600 kg.

A6 Avant with a total load weight of about 2200 kg is an excellent match to the caravan’s total of about 1750 kg, allowed max is 1800 kg. Driving at 80 - 100 km/h on highway in D6, occassionally D7. Uphill 5 -7% in D5 at maintained speed, in D4 when accellerating from 80 to 100 is no hazzle.

Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro aut. and Coachman

Paul Harrison reviewed on 05 January 2017 a Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro aut. (272 PS/200 Kw, Year: 2016 - 2018) with a Coachman VIP 460 of 1415 kg.

Hi,

Only had one outing with the outfit but very impressive. No movement even in side wind. Averaged 26.4 mpg over a 140 mile run. The car has so much power I had to keep on looking in the mirror to make sure the caravan was still there.
The only downside I have found up to now is that the cars13 pin plug is a little awkward to connect. I had to go on one knee to connect it.

Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. and Elddis

Phil reviewed on 06 May 2016 a Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. (180 PS/132 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2008) with a Elddis Avante 636 of 1657 kg.

This car was my tug for 14,000 miles in 2014 around Spain with a big twin axle van.
It was the SE model with a factory fitted towbar and all round air suspension.

The quattro 4WD kept things in order but I did notice that the tailgate had started to rub marks onto the boot lip where the body had been flexing. I think the 75kg nose weight was too low for a big twin axle.

The car had very little problems taking the van where I pointed it, up steep hills and on twisty bumpy roads. It was pretty unremarkable to be honest, it did the job with no drama.
Free from the van it was very nice to drive and possibly something I could consider owning as a year round driver.

Fuel economy was not bad towing, around the late 20\'s to early 30\'s and solo typically above 45mpg.

Its a very nice and reliable car, but for a big twin axle, its Achilles heal is its low nose weight allowance. The allroad is a better bet.

David reviewed on 25 March 2015 a Audi A6 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. (180 PS/132 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2011) with a Geist Xklusive XK555 of 1533 kg.

I have used a 2007 TDI 2.7 Audi A6 Le Mans Quattro to tow the Geist LV555 for the last few years and it is incredibly good at towing this heavy caravan. very stable, plenty of power with no stability issues. It makes for very relaxed towing especially using the cruise control on long motorway sections, highly recommended

Gerry reviewed on 04 August 2012 a Audi A6 2.0 TDI [Multitronic] (170 PS/125 Kw, Year: 2007 - 2011) with a Elddis Odyssey 534 of 1490 kg.

This car tows with ease and sits easily at a steady 60MPH (with cruise control on) on motorways and dual carriageways. I used the tiptronic on hills and on twisty roads. I have many years towing experience and find this car on the best i have had for comfort and ease of driving. If fuel economy is a big issue with you STOP TOWING CARAVANS ! ! 21 MPG avarage whilst towing caravan was more than acceptable to me !

Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. and Bessacarr

Huw Morris reviewed on 23 January 2012 a Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. (190 PS/140 Kw, Year: 2008 - 2011) with a Bessacarr Cameo 550 of 1699 kg.

I tow a Bessacar Cameo 550GL(1800kg) with a 2011 model yearAudi A6 Avant Quattro(last of old model) and find it can be a little tail happy if the car is not loaded sufficiently.The gear ratios are also more suited to sporty driving rather than towing. Not as good a towcar as the VW Touareg 3.0 Altitude I drove previously which was a superb towcar except for towing consumption of 20mpg compared to Audi's 24mpg. Suggest you stick to 85% rule if using this towcar.

I Pritchard reviewed on 06 December 2011 a Audi A6 2.0 TDI (140 PS/103 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2011) with a Bailey Pageant Moselle of 1337 kg.

In low gears you wouldn't know that you were towing. Pulls really well and acceleration is good. Can cruise at 60mph using cruise control in 6th gear and achieve approximately 35mpg. Towing is also stable thanks to the alko stabliser. Only been towing a year and very pleased with this combination.

Richard Padmore reviewed on 17 April 2009 a Audi S6 Avant 5.2 FSI V10 Quattro aut. (435 PS/320 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2015) with a Swift Challenger 520 of 1391 kg.

Clearly more than enough power to pull any caravan. The S6 is effortless whether towing or not. We average 21mpg motorway driving solo and around 17mpg with the caravan. It feels very solid and composed when towing. With the Avant the in-car storage space is great and there's a full size spare. We're planning on switching caravans soon to a twin axle.

Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI and Abbey

Mike B. reviewed on 15 April 2009 a Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI (140 PS/103 Kw, Year: 2005 - 2008) with a Abbey Vogue 520 of 1372 kg.

The 2.0 TDi A6 is stable and pulls the van easily once moving, can sometimes struggle pulling off from standstill uphill due to front wheel drive traction and limited torque below 1800 rpm. Non-Audi factory fit towbar wiring with model specific electronics can create ESP faults when the electronics are energised. This requires reprogramming to reactivate ESP with the towbar option enabled (£150). Alternativly use the cheaper option of installing conventionally wired electrics. On the whole a good tow car for a medium size / weight van.

Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut. and Swift

Jim Abbott reviewed on 02 November 2008 a Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut. (256 PS/188 Kw, Year: 2004 - 2011) with a Swift Conqueror 645 of 1690 kg.

Outfit works well. The car is petrol and has plenty of power but sometimes changes down from 6th on inclines. Boot and interior are big and auto box can be used as a manual. Fuel economy is 18-20 towing (focuses the mind!), 25-30 solo. The towing figure is the penalty for towing a heavy caravan with larger petrol engine I guess and a classic case of buying a car before I got into caravanning. I use a stableliser but as this is my first outfit I can't comment on how much difference this makes.

Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro aut. and Swift

Willy Wilson reviewed on 16 September 2008 a Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro aut. (233 PS/171 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2011) with a Swift Conqueror 655 TA of 1680 kg.

Bought this "car" on the advice of the salesman that it would be an "ideal towcar" He really should boe up on his figures again. I have never driven such a noisy, uncomfortable, uneconomical car in my life!! It isnt even that good pulling up hills. The economy is down to 18mpg towing and struggles to rise much above 30 on a long motorway run. Best figure achieved 34 at 60 on A roads. Went to dealer to enquire if there was a problem with it and was given the cold shoulder and at one point told I was naive to expect more from such a big car. Audi customer services never even replied to my complaint. I can think of a lot better ways to waste 41000 pounds than to spend it on a new one of these. Will never purchase Audi again and am returning to BMW which is on order just now.

What can I say..... Audi A6 3.0tdi Quattro!! What a complete waste of 32000 quid. Its uncomfortable, noisy, harsh to ride in, auto box is ridiculously slow to change and thats with the "sports paddle shift" option!! What a joke!! Only thing thats sporty about this vehicle is the fuel economy!! 19.5mpg streching to a lofty 31 running solo!!!! Vorsprung durch garbage would be better tag line for them!! Dealer in Aberdeen even worse. Sales manager was abusive when I had the cheek to complain about it!Never will I darken the door of an Audi dealership again!!!

Roger Coalter reviewed on 02 April 2008 a Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDI (116 PS/85 Kw, Year: 2001 - 2001) with a Sterling Europa 520 of 1400 kg.

Car has plenty of power to cope with this caravan, pulls well in all gears although i like to drop down to 4th gear when the revs drop below 1900 as to keep up the torque. on a journey recently i averaged 32 mpg towing.
The car is very stable and i feel happy towing consistantly @ 55mph and at time was at more but i do not make a habit of going harder as a safety point of view, the only time you feel unsteady is with gusts of side winds.
At time of purchase the van was loaded badly and did feel a bit unsteady but the nose weight was over 95kg when i checked it AND with the 75kg nose weight it was totaly fine.
I am very happy with the combination !

Graham Robinson reviewed on 01 July 2007 a Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI Quattro (180 PS/132 Kw, Year: 2001 - 2004) with a Bailey Pageant Auvergne of 1385 kg.

An excellent outfit. The audi gives the normality of a car, with the benefits of a 4x4. Have been to France many times, and bobbed along at 80mph (permitted over there), and been v. stable. All the traction and pull needed in a 5 year old car. The Auvergne is lovely - why have they stopped making it? 2 double beds and when needed, one lounge, one playroom when wet with the kids. Lots of space, kit is great.
