>My car 99 Audi A6 gets hot when idle in the sun. So after a few poor attempts at analysis by the pros, we've decided maybe its the auxillary fan. Does anyone have any ideas? Im well aware by now of the mechanic ruse to fix one thing after another without fixing problem. Doesnt bring a repeat customer.
I like generalists, but here, you may want a real Audi guy in a real Audi shop.
State location & maybe you can get some good & bad feedback on locals.
I would also use the search window in the top right of the list and search for Audi groups.
>Also, in my day, few short years ago, I would rev the gas from zero, not to speed off, but to get somewhere quickly. Well whatever runs that revving has faltered. As I can absolutely no longer rev it. It instead putters from stop. The first idea was axle?, then driveshaft?, and baffle? Here again, any ideas?

Sounds like, for a tight girdle, change your hat or socks...?
The engine is running poorly. Don't get new tires.
First, do you have/if not get, a manual.
There will be a trouble shooting page. I believe this one will say,
go to the shop & get a tuneup.
In advance of that, *I* would do all I can to have fresh fluids, like oil
& filter, (antifreeze maybe or maybe not.) I assume you by now have
a fresh air filter, or, yours cleaned. Wax it. That will add some speed.
And mechanics ought not, but are affected by, a car that looks like
the owner likes it. They are people too. vacuum it, etc. Clean the
ash tray! Brake fluid. (Eats paint, don't spill!) Steering fluid. Trans, etc.
Now add a can of Carb/Fuel Injector cleaner. Whichever applies.
Some, do both. Follow the instructions, like "full tank, no more gas
until about empty." If you do city driving mostly, get 1 full hour at
highway speeds, nontop, while this is in your tank. I prefer to do this
about half way through your tankful of treated gas.
This has taken you a week and by now you've found a shop and
checked references, maybe on line. Sounds like distributor, old
worn engine rings (it smoke on takeoff or deceleration?) And stuff
your mech's ought to have already pointed out. 200,000 miles?
You've had a tuneup already? All the smog equipment is feeding
back to the computer, correctly? (Got one?) Not enough info...
