If you drive an Audi, regardless of the model,

you will likely experience warning lights or issues at some point.

These may include oil leaks and coolant level warnings!

Depending on whether you have a 2.0 or 3.0 gasoline or diesel engine,

the specific issues may vary slightly, but

overall, the results tend to be similar.

Let's take a look at the Audi A6 3.0 Diesel

and tackle the oil and coolant leaks!

Let's fix this!

Ignoring the problem will only worsen it...

Nothing will improve if you do!

The Audi A6 3.0 Diesel

Let's address the oil and coolant leaks!

I post only photos and work that I have done directly on my blog.

I hope you find this information helpful!

Near Hwaseong, Dongtan, Osan, and Suwon,

you can find places that specialize in Audi maintenance!

You can find more information on NAVER and KAKAO. "GioCar"

Currently, the Audi A6 3.0 Diesel has accumulated 160,000 kilometers (approximately 99,000 miles).

This vehicle has several maintenance points related to coolant and oil leaks.

Depending on the issues, the estimates and work times may vary.

Therefore, it's best to visit for an inspection to determine how to fix it!

So when you inquire about the "coolant and oil maintenance... how much will it cost?!"

I want to provide an answer, but...

I can't give you a quote!

In maintenance, the cost is the most important factor, but

I hope you can find time to drop by!

Preventative maintenance is essential!

Today, the Audi A6 that arrived has

the oil cooler located in the middle of the engine's V-block.

We will focus on the oil cooler and the coolant shut-off valve for maintenance.

Typically, oil leaks can occur from the upper engine, front, side head cover, and the rear timing belt cover.

However, the leak is only happening here!

Additionally, we will remove the upper intake manifold and throttle intake line,

and perform cleaning including the EGR removal.

Plus, we will replace the coolant oil and return line!

I have prepared the following parts.

The coolant shut-off valve that came in the Audi genuine box

is part of the coolant system.

The return line is a chronic issue that connects to the coolant reservoir tank.

When we remove the intake, we will clean and replace the O-ring.

The O-rings will be completely replaced.

I will continue removing parts.

The intake manifold has a unique shape, and once we remove it,

The EGR will start to become visible.

We need to remove that too; we have made some progress, but we still have a long way to go!

We will reassemble everything in reverse order.

If something goes wrong, we might have to take it all apart again...
Skill, know-how, and focus are essential!

By the way, the coolant shut-off valve is the part shown in the image above.

Since I have to finish this within a day,

I am working on multiple tasks at once.

I couldn't take as many photos as I wanted!

But I have captured all the key points, so check them out!

After installing the EGR, we will raise the intake manifold, but

We can't just do it carelessly!

I should have taken a photo of the cleaned engine room... what a shame!

Here ends the maintenance of the Audi A6 3.0 Diesel
with oil leak and coolant leak warnings!

"All cleared up!"

Well... after this,

I also worked on the lower parts, but that's a secret~

I will post about that soon!

For this model and mileage, not many people invest in improving their vehicle's condition.

So far, this Audi A6 has held up well with 160,000 kilometers (approximately 99,000 miles) without major repairs.

I appreciate this car for its durability.

A gift from the owner?! Haha!

I hope it continues to run well up to 200,000 kilometers!
