In the end I looked it up on the service book as another user suggested. Yay! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just tried entering my reg on that site and it doesn’t show the engine type and it’s also wrong on my transmission type. It did have the VIN number however. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, How do I identify which engine I’ve got in my car (in my profile)? I’ve got the VIN from the V5 but no idea if it tells me which engine I’ve got. All help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve not had any time to look at it since starting this thread I’m afraid. However I noticed today that the rear passenger doors open with the fob now and neither of the front doors do. Would that suggest two sets of actuators at fault or something such as a weak battery do you think? Drivers...

Thanks. When you say broken wire search do you mean that there could be a visibly severed wire(s)?

I’m afraid I don’t have access to vcds and I’m reluctant to buy as I’m not sure if I’m keeping the car. I have a cheapo orange obd2 code reader but I suspect it may not be compatible with the car. I’m confident I’ll be able to take the door car off as I used to fit aftermarket speaker systems...

Thanks. Yes I tried that too and it sometimes unlocks all door and sometimes it doesn’t so I guess as you say that confirms it’s an electrical fault

So everything else works as it should apart from the front passenger door. I’ve tried it now with the key in the drivers door and that only opens the drivers door. When using the fob it only all doors and the boot, apart from the front passenger door.

Hi, Noticed recently the front passenger door on my A6 avant sometimes chooses not to unlock with the fob and wondered if anyone had had similar issues too? I’ve stood beside it and I can’t hear the motor “whirring” on the problematic door however all other functioning doors can be heard...

Most cars have something in the region of 0.5 litres between Min and Max so if you are going to top-up then go slowly and don't over-fill it

I thought the same too about the Merc but I do a lot of motorway/dual carriageway miles so for me it’s a case of the car getting up to speed quicker and then stocking cruise control on

Ahh sorry I missed that [emoji3526]

Another simpleton question: would that unit replace the cd changer? Ie it would slot into the hole left once the changer is removed?

Ok thanks: will do it tomorrow or later this week and post the findings up. Out of interest: what is the item I’d be buying?

Thanks for the reply. Noob question: how do you go about installing a firmware update on these cars. Yes the donor car is also a 2007
