Evening, recently purchased A6 2018 2.0TDI and had the glow plug relay changed twice after the EML came on with the p0670 fault code. Clearly it's not two new relays, the fault once cleared comes back after about 3-4 engine starts which suggests it is an intermittent fault. The last autoelec that checked said all 4 Glow plugs are fine and also the GP fuse is GOOD changed the relay and light came back on😭. I'm thinking to get the GP fuse changed anyway not sure of location of the fuse if anyone knows the location? or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Audi A6 SE 2.0 TDI 90ps 38000mls

I gutted my DPF after many attempts to clean it with all sorts of chemicals/soap etc etc i now have a smokey smell and the mrs hates it,wasnt sure wether it was all that crap i pumped thru it?? or that its because it hasnt got a DPF now??? can you describe the smell??
-
I took mine out opened it up and gutted it and welded it back up (it CAN be done without dropping the subframe) it was a bit tight ....i also blocked off the EGR and had to pay £250 to have a remap to turn off the DPF light (delete) it has gone trhu 2 mots since but was a bit smokey ....there is an american on utube who showed it being done but he did replace it with a straight pipe ,which you cant do in this country unfortunately.

just noticed i have a esp warning light telling me to check the manual???
-
cheers for reply....i checked the battery and read 12.9 .....when running 14.9 so all as should be i guess?? just gonna disconnect and leave for half hour to see if that resets summat.

Okay thank you yes I was thinking that this would be the case alright would I be able to take connectors from the saloon and solder the wiring into the estate connectors the same and wires are the same colours going to each pin also after I replace the ccm will have to reprogram the ccm ?

Evening everyone, Starter solenoid went so decided to change myself. If anyone is tempted to give this a go here are some tips. Make sure you have tools and axle stands or its a tough job. I couldn't get it out without taking the engine mount. Some good videos on YouTube. The hardest part is one of the Allen bolts from the top engine mount that is obscured by the exhaust. The other top one is accessible with lots of extensions and a Wobblies. Looking for a part number for the stretch bolts (x3 18m main bolts) Any help would be apreciated.

I think it's clipped on. You might find it's cheaper to replace the whole airbag from a used one from eBay.
-
Might be worth getting the battery checked to see if it's working as it should. As a failing battery can cause these symptoms
-
They're not interchangeable. You need to swap the failed part out for one that has the exact same part number
-
Also lights not able to go full beam and indicators not working,also wipers not working???? just praising how the car was performing yesterday....put the kybosh on it i feel.........does anyone know a possible reason?? i have checked the alternator and seems fine.

Hello just after buying 2003 C5 a6 avant I bought the car assuming ccm was the issue for all interior issues. Took it out and I was right but the connectors are destroyed with corrosion. I have a 2001 saloon a6 but the ccm does not match it is only one digit off on the part number the avant has an N and the sallon a K would I be able to use this ccm. I must now try to cut connectors off and solder in new connectors if somebody knows if these ccms are interchangeable that would be very helpful thanks

The first thing to eliminate/incriminate is the battery. Halfords stores or probably your local motor factors can test its efficiency - under load. Please let us know how you get on. If you need to replace the battery, then buy once and wisely. The forum can advise you on this.

Do you think it could be the battery still ? The health bubble is also green.

Thanks Grant, If you are judging the battery’s efficiency as being ‘good’ by using a simple multi meter, then you are barking up the wrong tree. In any case, a reading of only 12v after a 24 hour charge is too low. Regards, Gareth.

The oil temperature gauge issue could be due to a faulty sender. Similarly, the in tank fuel level variable resistor maybe at fault or sticky. Not absolutely certain with your c30 year old model, but it was very common to encounter a voltage stabiliser on earlier vehicles. This small unit was generally in circuit with the gauges and served to ‘damp’ the gauges - by lowering the voltage to c10 volts. Well worth checking the circuit diagrams. Regards, Gareth.

Hi all So iv had a problem with starting the the car. Fob works to open the car the radio and internal lights come on. But wen I place the key in and turn it 1 click right there is nothing on the dash. The car clunk's and release the steering lock fine but then that's it. I carnt get the old reader to connect to check and codes. The battery is good I charged it for 24 hrs and was registered 12v. First thought was starter motor but if this was the case wouldn't the car still turn on and then not start. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Grant

Thanks Steve will look into that think the oil temp gauge itself is faulty if I got another dash can I open up mine and swap the gauges?
-
Does anybody know what this pipe leads to/ what’s under the plastic? When I take the pipe off the lights go off the dash n come back on when plugged in but not sure what’s underneath the plastic or where the pipe leads to?
