    2.8 quattro v6 issue

    Didn't think petrol V6s had a DMF, thought only diesels had them

    1999 Audi A6 estate 1.8 T. Trouble shooting

    It could just be the hazard switch in the dash, which also contains the flasher relay. These were well known points of failure on the C5 and a quick search on the web will get you the details of how to remove the old one and plug in a new one

    Indicator isuues

    Fairly common fault on C5s and not a difficult one to repair. The indicator relay is part of the hazard switch. There are a number of "how toe" on the Internet, but basically you remove the piece of trim around the switch and then use a pair of pointed pliers to pull the switch out. Pop the...

    Audi A6 Allroad Phone prep

    Think you are in the wrong forum. Your car is a C6 not a C5 (perhaps mods can move the post). Sounds like you have the common problem of needing to upgrade the MMI firmware to v5570 to get your bluetooth module to work with the more recent phones

    2.5tdi AKE engine fault codes 0550 lack of power

    Think your car is a C5 chassis (built between 1997 and 2005) rather than a C7 (built from 2011 to now) so your post is in the wrong subsection of the A6 forum. Be worth reposting it in the C5 section

    Yellow warning light- Dynamic Headlight range control faulty

    To answer some of your questions. The Dynamic Range is the auto adjustment for the Xenon headlights to prevent you dazzling other drivers and the warning suggests there is a fault in that system. As suggested you need to get someone with VCDS to scan the vehicle to determine the actual fault...

    Newbie with a few teething issues

    For my Polo (2007) a mobile locksmith was able to access the required information from the car and programme the key and charged about half what the VW dealer wanted to charge me, plus he did it all in my driveway so saved me time too. Would be worth contacting a few mobile locksmiths who cover...

    Heated Mirror Issue

    I believe so, but it may be build date dependent. Audi certainly went through a period of permanently powering the mirrors. I had a '97 A4 that must have gone through at least 3 sets of mirror glasses because they were permanently powered leading to the wires in the glass burning out. Can't...

    can anyone help with model of my car??? NEWBIE

    I think the 6 speed gearbox was introduced as part of the facelift in 2001 (my 2002) when the TDi engine was upped from 110bhp to 130bhp and was thus offered in all trim levels. I also believe that it is only at this point that Audi officially offered a Sport version (in addition to the...

    Disconnecting Battery on Audi A6 quattro

    This posting (Audi A6 Avant - Refurb & Repair (Pic heavy) - Page 6 - Detailing World) will tell you everything you need to know about repairing and refurbishing a C5 A6. I have linked you to the page where he removes the front seats but the rest of the post is well worth a read. Also you will...

    Steering Wheel Squeek !!!!!!!!!!

    On my 03 C5 I had annoying squeek/rattle. Turned out to be the airbag was moving in its mounting and it was replaced (fortunately while the car was still under warranty)

    Yet another MMI - Missing Data Question and solution wanted

    No Battery Monitor on my 2010 A6 so expect it was "removed" at some point. I believe that with VagCom it is possible to switch on a "hidden menu" with additional features one of which may well be the battery monitor.

    Dipped Beam Intermittant Fault

    Doesn't sound like the bulbs are on their way out as it affects both the same. As you have a Le Mans then you have Xenons and given that restarting the car clears the fault it sounds like there is a problem with the controller for the lights, possible just a software glitch. You need to get a...

    A6 Sat Nav Update? or New DVD?

    Is your A6 one of the last of the C6 platform or one of the first of the C7 platform (you will have the screen popping up out the dash if it is a C7)? If it is a C6 then you have the 3G Sat Nav which is either hard disk or DVD based and if it a C7 then it will either be SD Card or hard disk...

    A6 2.5 TDI 2005 Injector Pump Issue?

    Great posting on the other forum, amazing how bad some owners let their cars get. Not sure the car is a "Final Edition" though. Think they all had the RNS-E DVD based Sat Nav included as standard and different (and I think also 18" or even 19") wheels. Yours looks to be a highly specced...

    Allroad Auto box has heavy clunk on 5-4 downshift

    Honest John (Telegraph Motoring Section and Honest John) has always spoken very highly of King Automatics, The Chalk Pit, College Lane, Epsom, Surrey as have people who have been there on his recommendation. I have no personal experience of them.
