That's interesting, and was the direction I was going to look into. I'm going to be working on the car later so I'm going to give a few things a shot and report back.

Many thanks for your constructive reply. I’ve had email from the Garage stating they’re going to forward the message from Audi UK there’s just no time frame on the next update. I shall update you with progress in case anyone else is having similar issues.

I’ve just recently removed the plastic caps for the arm retaining nuts. I’ve applied WD 40 in way of the nuts/arms hoping it will penetrate through to the splines. I will try in a few days …. Since I don’t use the vehicle too often. I will advise if this works with the puller!

I managed to find a place in Durham who took the component protection off and programme it to the car he checks to see if the vin number is ok for the unit to ensure it's not a stolen one , when that is done it's all go and sound is back on. £100 over the moon. The place is called north east vag adaptions , the bloke is canny too

If the garage that reconditioned the turbo are willing to take it back in then that's the way to go. A few quid on fuel versus a few hundred quid on another turbo is a no brainer. Even if the turbo turns out to be ok at least that one cause off the list.

It sounds like limp mode which can be caused by many things, one of which is a dying battery. If you bought it from a dealer take it back for free repair. On the other hand if it came from a private seller I suggest you first get the battery professionally tested involving a deep discharge. A voltage reading from a multimeter is useless. If the battery proves to be fine you should get the fault diagnosed on a decent code reader.

Hi All, Interested to hear from other owners if they are having the same faults as we are with the Q6, yes we were one of the first in the country to have the Q6 but our fault list is long and nothing seems to be getting done to resolve them, interested to read if others have the same faults. I cleared 263 error codes, must check again. Our list is below, Unable to Start Vehicle Contact Workshop - This one left my wife stranded as would not do anything said had a major fault and to contact the workshop, closed car, waited a couple of minutes, entered car and issue not there anymore. Driver Aid System - multiple faults and warnings with flashing yellow and red symbols from not working to go to workshop faults, turn off, wait a few seconds, turn on and problem gone. Headlights sometimes do not come on when starting the car - Sidelights and Matrix high beam assist works but the dipped headlights sometimes do not come on and you have a black dark hole of lighting ahead of the side lights and then watch the Matrix high beam assist doing a dance ahead. Tailgate - Double press the remote button twice quickly or slowly makes no difference, boot will sometime open, open a few inches and close, open and stop meaning you have to push the boot shut by hand to get it to open again etc etc. Road Speeds - The camera based system ignores road signs and will put up anything, had it say 30 mph on a motorway, 70 mph on single lanes, when using cruise control it goes wrong as has wrong speeds ands either tries to slow you right down to a dangerous speed or speed you up to break the speed limit. Entertainment System - Sometimes works sometimes does not work, sometimes connects to the phone other times says no phone, no music and then music comes on at full volume. In Car Electronics - Forgets driver profiles, seat position, anything related to each setup on each persons name. Audi App - Sometimes connects to the car other times does not and shows error codes, does not send any notifications despite being setup correctly, reported over 6 months ago and just get the same e-mail once a week that they are trying to resolve the issues, app is upto date, removed installed makes no difference. Emergency Braking - car will do a random emergency brake at random times, pulling away from roundabouts when no one else is around, reversing into our driveway when your no where near anything. I am sure we are missing something but what are others finding?
