    Rear Brakes

    If you don't want to buy VCDS or OBD-II then the Carista OBD device (available from Amazon) will allow you to put the brake in the service position at a much lower cost

    Christmas Lights on Dashboard!

    If I am reading it right and the last line shows the battery voltage then it is below 12v and should be around 12.7v if the battery is in good condition. Low battery voltage can throw all sorts of random errors

    C7 A6 suspension/ride questions...

    Yes an SE would be softer, however it is quite possibly the tyre/wheel choice on the car. As standard the SE came with 225/55 R17 and the S-Line 245/45 R18 wheels. The 20" wheels 235/35 R20 were standard on the BE. Dropping down to the 18" combination would probably make a significant...

    Audi S6 C7 S Tronic service - Would it be explicit on the service history?

    As it is a specific chargeable item I would expect it to be shown in the service history. Is the dealer you are asking the same one that did all the servicing on the car? If not may be worth contacting the servicing dealer. Alternatively perhaps the dealer selling the car would be willing to...

    2.0 TDI ultra missed services

    Transmission fluid is due at 38k miles or 4 years. I would have expected that to have been done at the December 2020 service at the latest. If it was done then then it would then be due again at the end of this year. Brake fluid is every 2 years so well overdue. Should also have had a diesel...

    Heated mirrors don't work

    Wouldn't have thought so. Changes in VCDS tend to be functions that are software enable and this is a hardware feature with a physical switch. It is not like older generations of A6s (C5 if I recall), where the heated mirrors were on all the time. I had an A4 with this "feature" and it had...

    Heated mirrors don't work

    Not sure which fuse it would be, sorry. One option to test where the problem is would be to remove the mirror glass (see sticky at top of this forum about replacing mirror caps to see how to do this). Then using a multimeter you could see if there is current flowing to the mirror when you...

    Heated mirrors don't work

    If both are not working I would suspect either a faulty switch or fuse. If both mirror glasses have burnt out then that will be an expensive fix as you have the dimming function as well which ups the price significantly.

    2.0 TDI Ultra Serviced. Poor MPG, feels underpowered and engine sounds rough

    If that is the original battery then it almost certainly is a contributing factor, if not the issue itself. If you do a direct like for like replacement then you can usually get away wothout having to recode the battery the car

    ABS, ESC, TPMS, brake servo and parking brake faults

    Or even more likely the battery needs replacing. In the vast majority of cases a large number of random and seemingly unconnected errors is found to be the battery. Modern cars are very susceptible to battery condition and the A6 seems to be more so than most. If the battery voltage drops...

    Cabin temperature sensor location

    I have seen uneven temperature like this posted on a number of forums in the past (probably this one as well) and I think the common cause is an issue with the flap that control flow of warm air. Suggest you try searching on here and also the C7 sections of vwaudiforum and audiworld

    Rear View Camera retrofit clarification

    Have you tried emailing them? I have found they are very helpful if you ask the question "will this work with my car?" They will probably need the VIN for your car

    If you let me know the relevant model year of the car you are considering I probably have a digital copy of the brochure/price list I can post up here

    A6 BiTdi handling question

    The A6 never had the adaptive dampers that Audi offered on some other model ranges (TT for instance). The suspension options for an S-Line BiTDi were, standard Sports (1BE) suspension, and optional S-LIne Sports suspension (1BV) or the Adaptive Air Suspension (1BK). In addition there was the...

    Adblue System Fault - No Restart

    I had a similar problem with my 2015 A6, fortunately at the time it was under warranty and the dealer fixed it. If I recall correctly they thought it was the AdBlue pump but in the end they had to take it for a drive and after about 30miles it suddenly cleared and did not return before I...

    Auto gearbox service

    RLB gearbox is an S-Tronic so therefore is indeed a DSG. The recommended service interval for these boxes is every 38,000 miles or 4 years, so yours would be due its 4th service. This post...

    Roof bars

    I bought some Farad ones from Amazon and they are fine and also cheaper than Thule. Of course the advantage of the Thule system is that you have the potential to move them from one type of car to another by changing the foot pack
