    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.

    Not necessarily so. As I mentioned in an A6 C5 topic I only recently discovered the previous owner of my car had removed the EGR valve, however I had no problems with emissions when I put the car through its MOT in September. I realise this may not be the case for everyone but that's my personal experience if it's any help.

    Like a '70s hot rod mate!

    I think they're meant to be on all the time, I just found this on another site In UK, new type approvals (ie new models introduced) after Feb 2011 had to have always on front DRLs. Hope that helps Jason.

    I used to keep getting the same problem on my '04 A3. It used to happen every time I gave my mate a lift (putting it politely he's generously built). Turns out when he put the seat all the way back it was undoing the connector under the seat. Could be worth a look if you put the seat back to work on the blower.

    Bet you can't wait for it to get dark so you can try them out! Seriously though, they make a huge difference.

    Good luck Tom, hope it's nothing too expensive/serious, let us know how you get on mate.

    I'm getting the feeling we won't hear from him again until he has another problem and needs some more advice Gareth. Getting all too common unfortunately.
  9. daveyboy1967
    That sounds awful Tom, after the first listen I thought it was just a loose exhaust banging against the chassis but after playing it back a few times I'm no longer sure. If it was mine I'd get it looked at sharpish mate just to be on the safe side.

    If you can live with keeping the oil topped up you might be surprised how long it survives, and maybe get a drip tray to leave under the car when it's parked overnight or longer? An old paint roller tray or similar would do if you know where the oil is dripping from.

    I'm known for them mate, just ask my wife!

    Where was the car parked while you were away mate? Just wondering because there have been a lot of horror stories in the press recently about airport parking companies using (and often damaging) vehicles while the owners were away.
  13. daveyboy1967
    Ah, I thought the above was the question, I was just trying to help in case you'd missed it.

    Two litres in three months and 1100 miles he said Gareth.

    I'm confused too Tony.
  16. daveyboy1967
    I'm only on my second Audi but it does seem that water ingress, electrical issues, and a combination of the two are a constant problem whatever the age of the car. It's like owning a 1970's Alfasud but without the rust. Shame as I really love styling and the way they get down the road.
  17. daveyboy1967
    What Clifford said.
  18. daveyboy1967
    You are correct Tony.
  19. daveyboy1967
    Welcome aboard mate, and nice looking motor too. And I have the same problem with the sensors, not fun with the sedan, and that's coming from an ex HGV1 driver.

    The old trick for cleaning the inside of a fuel tank was to throw in a handful of nut (the ones that go on bolts, not the KP variety!) and then shake your moneymaker like your life depended on it, obviously removing anything like fuel sender etc first.

    I fitted these P21w 1156 Ba15s LED Bulb White 6000K 6W 12V-24V DC10-30V Super Bright for Reverse Light Brake Turn Signal RV Interior Light Auto Backup Rear Fog Lamp Stop Drl Tail Position Bulbs Rear Fog Lamp 2 Pack : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive Absolutely no problems or errors and they're a huge improvement over the originals, like day and night (no pun intended. My A6 is a 2003 though so possibly may not be as fussy as newer models?

    Try speaking to these people about what you want to do and what you'll need Car Stereo Car Audio | Dynamic Sounds | Car Stereo System ... They seem to be very good and not too expensive.
  23. daveyboy1967
    Good news mate, happy days.
  24. daveyboy1967
    I totally agree with Gareth on this, unless you have access to a very good workshop manual. If you get it wrong broken trim can be surprisingly expensive to replace, and very ugly if you don't.

    Under the thick black hose or the thin one Ian?
