Hi guys, I have a 2011 A6 (C6) 2.0tdi, Manual transmission. I've experienced similar issues and today had the thermostat housing replaced however the cabin is still not getting hot using the climate control but it does work when you set the fan speed to manual. Will replacing the part 03L...

Update - New key was ordered and reprogrammed and all seems to be working as expected. However the alarm siren is disconnected as it keeps sounding. Apparently they have a battery inside? and possible cause of the siren sounding is the internal battery is going flat.

Update following diagnostics..... Apparently my key doesn't send any signals so a new key has been ordered and will need programming. It's booked again for 2 weeks time Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Dav, 1.8T Quattro in Green Dudley, West Midlands

From my experience this is normal. My mum has a A4 DTM quattro and when you turn as slow speed it does feel like the car is being dragged - if that makes any sense. That being said, i have a A6 (C5) and that doesn't seem to do this although both inner side of the front tyres are worn and need...

I'm based in Dudley but I'm getting a free diagnostic as part of my service but if anyone is local that would be helpful to know. Cheers Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Called the AA today just to see if they could highlight the issue. The engineer ended up disconnecting the module under the passenger side from the driver side as the passenger side door wouldn't open. The unit looks in good condition although I've not opened it, but it wasn't damp or...

Well that didn't work so I thought I'd disconnect the battery and reconnect sometime later and then the alarm wouldn't stop going off. Booked in to mechanics on Monday to run diagnostics. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Got a key cut today, so will try the when i get home. However reading online i beginning to wonder if the micro-switch has failed on the door lock. Reason i say that is door symbol was showing on the dash when i last drove it and the interior lights didn't switch off when i locked the car (this...

Thanks for the advice Rich, a second key has been ordered which will be with me in a few days.

Hi guys, I purchased a A6 1.8T Quattro on a W reg yesterday and now the central locking doesn't seem to unlock the car except the driver side door A few points worth mentioning: I only have 1 key and the fob doesn't seem to work, i have changed the batteries Yesterday and this morning i was...

Thank you, i agree the back is small when you have to consider a baby seat plus all the other stuff that we have to carry around on trips.

Hi guys, I'm an owner of a X-reg 1.8 SE in Silver. I thought i'd start posting up on the forum to share any updates and experiences I've had with the car. I purchase the 1.8 SE around December 2013 with 85,000 miles on the clock, very little service history, original paint except for the...

Hi Guys, i'm newish to the forum. I don't own a DTM myself but my mum has had hers for over 6 years now. It's black, standard except for the grill which has been replaced with the gloss black surround instead of chrome and de-badged. I'll get some pictures up shortly. Dav
