Problem overview

Some Audi A6 Quattro owners report experiencing rough idle issues that are commonly associated with factors such as vacuum leaks, spark plug problems, ignition coil failures, and engine-related concerns like motor mounts and worn timing belts. While a loose gas cap can contribute to fuel-related problems, it is generally not considered a common cause of rough idling in this model. Owners are advised to inspect and tighten the gas cap to maintain proper fuel system operation, but they should also investigate other potential issues like misfiring engines or faulty O2 sensors to effectively address the rough idle concern.
