I replaced the CCM in my '03 A6 C5 1.9TDI with one that had the identical part number a couple of months ago and it was completely plug and play. Your key fobs will need to be reprogrammed however, but it's a really quick and straightforward job if you have two. I posted a guide in the C5 forum that explains it step by step. Hope that helps you mate. Edit I've just noticed the CCM in your avant ends in an N and the saloon in a K, weirdly the one in my saloon is an N, go figure.

Does that mean you were not given the service history by Audi when you purchased it?

Thanks Robert, But you are assuming it was correctly serviced before you bought it at 2 years old and at 21k miles. In terms of seeking any contribution from Audi, then assumptions are simply meaningless. You will need to wander into an Audi dealer and request a print out copy of the on-line service history - and hope it was ‘serviced strictly to the book’. Now on to its servicing under your ownership, as was asked - could you now tell us about that, so we can better advise you?

Only it it is any good, and you won't know that unless you get it tested, in which case you might as well get the fitted battery tested. Let me emphasise that simple voltage readings from a multimeter will not tell you if the battery is in good condition. A battery can show over 12 volts and yet have internal faults that can interfere with the delicate electronics of the car causing a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms, one of those symptoms being a lack of error codes on low quality OBD readers. Until you get the battery tested we can not eliminate it as the cause of the starting problem.

UPDATE!!! the frayed wire was changed completely and seems to have fixed the problem. thank you for everyones help 🙂

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.

Hi The Bromley Motoring Pageant is on 27th July. It is down at The South of England Show Ground now. I used to show my Lotus there, so I had a E-Mail to from them for this year. I replied to tell them the Lotus was gone but I now have the Audi E Tron GT. Much to my surprise they want me to show it as the "Way to the Future". I will send you the pictures. Tony

Would it make sense to try and start it with jump leads? If it starts then you know starter is ok, and maybe the issue lies with the battery. In any case you will probably need to do this if you are planning to take it to a garage to get the battery tested.

I think it's clipped on. You might find it's cheaper to replace the whole airbag from a used one from eBay.

They're not interchangeable. You need to swap the failed part out for one that has the exact same part number

Thanks! In fact I've spent 2.500 Euros so far to get a promising 2.5Tdi for another 200.000Km without any more issues than the regular oil change. Every year I've spent like 4k Euros on my old car, a Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 Ingenium. So... 2.5K Euros for some "peace" is quite good for me! 😁 Cheers

Hello there! Just to keep you informed about my, in fact, "mechanical restoration" of my 2.5 BDH. Two weeks ago I left my car to my mechanic's shop to do some things, like: Timing kit with water pump Front control arm kit Automatic transmission service kit Draining of all fluids and refilling with new ones Injector sealing rings In the end, the situation turned out like this: Having then replaced: Timing system Water pump Thermostat All pulleys and vibration dampers Crankshaft pulley Coolant reservoir Automatic transmission oil pan, filter, and oil Valve cover gaskets and sealing rings Alternator (only because the old one was FULL of engine oil) Glow plugs Complete front control arm kit including tie rod ends Air conditioning gas recharge Now I hope to be able to drive it again next week, as they will finally return it to me! In the meantime, some new parts came to my home, ready to be changed! Cheers! Federico

yes audi have stripped the engine there were no warnings on the dash.car was running smooth we've had the car 3 yrs & the cars been well looked after so it's a mystery why this has happened.

sorry the garage said the crankshaft bearing has failed so new engine needed
