That dog's looking a bit guilty, check he hasn't hidden something up you exhaust pipe.

I always clear my DPF on the drive.

Just keep my foot to the floor (2500 revs) until the warning light goes out.

I would have to change those wheels, they're horrible.  🤮

There are a few videos about it here.

Hi All

The up shift paddle on my C6 RS6 has gone solid, no movement at all.

Has anyone had this issue ?

How easy is it to replace one ?

Do they need coding once replaced ?

 

Steve

Does this help ?

Thanks Steve,

Wiring I understand.

I'll have to have a look around for a wiring diagram.

Do you think this would throw any errors ?

It looks as though I would only require the door wiring diagrams.

I can get my 12v from the fuse board.

if you understand the wiring diagram it should not be above your pay grade.

Hi see Roy you keep telling us your useless but look at how far you have come with just a little determination, keep going.

Steve.

I'e always done my own car maintainance, but gone are the days when all you had to do to get a car going was to adjust the points and change the plugs.

Canbus systems baffle me.

I was just looking at this mirror folding thingy and wondering if I could tackle it.

Hi welcome to the world of error free, well done.

Steve.

The worst part was removing the mirrors, at £240 each I was clenching my cheeks. Hahaha.

I fitted sequential winkicators to my door mirrors this arvo.

They are much, much brighter than the standard ones.

I would recommend this mod.

I'm going to fit them.

I just went on a run to my sons house (8 miles) there.

He said that he did a dash reset. When I started up to come home the bulb out lights came back on.

Well, got them fitted and NO ERROR LIGHTS. woo woo.

Hi Roy, as I said you are not useless its merely you convincing yourself you can't do it before you attempt the task calm down and go practice with the VCDS scanning etc, as long as you don't muck about with the codings you will gradually become more confident as you use it, case in point you managed to reset your clock through the green menu which I personally would not go near as on the later models you can fry the MMI if you get it wrong.

Steve.

I only do things on the green menue when I have step by step instructions.

Like fixing the clock ......

fixed clock settings problem on audi mmi 3G

to do in hidden menu

1.check clock"on car/cardevicelist
2.uncheck clock on car/carprotocollswitch
3.set clock on 7 in car/carmenuoperation

Every time I have used VCDS some thing has gone wrong.

I know it's not the VCDS, it's me, I am useless with things like that, I can't even use a mobile phone.

Anyway, The reason that the dates were showing up as old faults was because my MMI clock had disappeared long ago and was showing on the speedo dash as Date year 2010.

Because the clock was missing on the MMI I was unable to reset the date.

I found out how to get the MMI clock back using the hidden green screen, so all is ok now.

I'll let you know how it goes. 

I should have said H11 not H4.

 

 

Well,

I purchased the above LEDs and wires.

Last weekend my son borrowed the firms diagnostic thingy, he reset my SRI, (that Audi said they couldn't reset after doing a service) and went through every thing else.

I realized that the lights out warning for the fog lights was no longer coming on.

Just to satisfy myself that it was still working, I disconnected the left foglight and to my delight the left fog light warning came on. BRILIANT.

I now have two sets of LEDs and resistor cables that are not required.

Have you tried resetting CVT ?

I have replaced my H4 fog light bulbs with white LEDs, and of course I get an error on the dash.

Has any one successfully done this with no errors ?

Please, I'm useless at maths

I'm going to give these a try.

it took them all day just to get the old one out as you have to disconnect a section of the exhaust from the DPF to midway under the car take out that side engine mount and remove the sensors from the bit before the Cat plus the sensor on the bit of pipe you remove, you then have to unplug the DPF pressure sensors as well as about ten other plugs, all this after tripping back most of the bulkhead plastic covers and heat shields to get enough room to work,

I have been having sleepless nights thinking about the garage bill just to remove/replace the EGR if required.

My son came round this morning and together fixed my brake issue.

He borrowed the companies scanning tool and went through the whole car, the only engine code was P0672 2nd cylinder glow plug.

He also showed me where my EGR/cooler was.

It's on top of the engine and easy to get to, so if ever it needs doing shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

I'll sleep sound tonight.

I think its either a sensor or a clogged EGR/DPF

DPF's ok, I've cleaned that a few times.

Hi not entirely, if you use Hydra Maximus or Archoil 6900 D synthesis it keeps the whole thing cleaner read up about them on line, irony think a dirty glow plug will cause your problem I think its either a sensor or a clogged EGR/DPF but you won't know until its been scanned again after you have cleared the existing codes.

Steve.

Delete old codes and new scan is my first job after bleeding brakes, cant get into the car at the moment, the jacks are in the way of opening the doors.

My new Sealey pressure bleeder arrived today, it's got to go back because it won't hold any pressure.

I hope they don't say there has been brake fluid in it, how else would I find out it don't pressurize ?
