De software die in deze voertuigen met een EA189 dieselmotor is geïnstalleerd zorgt tijdens rollenbanktests mogelijk voor lagere NOx-waarden dan die onder dezelfde omstandigheden op de weg zouden zijn gemeten.
Er kan een verkeerde mengverhouding in de ontstekingspatroon van de bestuurdersairbag, passagiersairbag en de gordelspanners zitten. Hierdoor werken de airbags en gordelspanners niet zoals bedoeld.
Door vuildeeltjes in de koelvloeistof kan de elektrische waterpomp blokkeren. Hierdoor kan de waterpomp oververhit raken.

Context
Model Context
Wikidata + WikipediaThe Audi A6 is an executive car manufactured by the German company Audi since 1994. Now in its sixth generation, the successor to the Audi 100 is manufactured in Neckarsulm, Germany, and is available in saloon and estate configurations, the latter marketed by Audi as the Avant. Audi's internal numbering treats the A6 as a continuation of the Audi 100 lineage, with the initial A6 designated as a member of the C4-series, followed by the C5, C6, C7, C8 and the C9. The related Audi A7 is essentially a Sportback (liftback) version of the C7-series and C8-series A6 but is marketed under its own separate identity and model designation.
