Yeah sorry about that, 56 doc just asked why I needed the lights and the topic went sideways with how I ended up needing some. So basically I had an injector failure which snowballed with me finding other issues so not sure where to continue the conversation. Sean

Gutted😂, didn't realise your car was the 7.5. Thanks anyway👍🏻

Hi Steve, These are the emails he sent me. Doesn't make much sense to me, do you understand it?

It's a a6 2013 bitdi if it helps

Hi Steve, I had a dpf specialist come to clean because thats what I thought it was but he said the pressure reading im getting are pointing to an egr problem. It's all new to me 🙄. Where is the Egt sensor located? I'm trying cheaper fixes and working my way up

Yeah im with you there as its defo not cheap to maintain but to run isn't that bad ( 2.8 vr6 previous). Have all the other parts i need to get it done but just need some headlights then I can see if the cooling fan issue stopping the regen will fix it. The car runs sweet no problems apart from this flashing glowplug light which annoys the hell out of me. Might just go back to older vehicle as they can be repaired with a general socket set and a gift voucher from halfords👌😂

That would be great if you could thank you. Basically, It started with an injector problem. When I fixed that it said it had a dpf issue which a specialist said it was most probably an egr problem but the car won't regen as theres a issue with cooling fan 2 on the back of the radiator. So looked for what I need on the car and discovered it had been in a bump and repaired badly( more like bodged). The radiator slam panel was broke as well as the front crash bar which is bent, ordered new parts. While stripping the car down the headlights were broke and screwed through the sides to hold in place! Wanted to fix it with a match😂 but I like the car so im fixing it properly

Thank you for the reply. I have a vcds but changing the suspension is abit much 😂. Suppose I'll have to continue my search for normal headlights. Thanks though👍🏻

Dont suppose you know if the lights are plug and play for audi that doesn't have xenon? I'm after a pair of replacement headlights and having trouble finding any!

Hi Spartans 68, its an a6 avant 3.0 bitdi 2013 with 115000 miles so thankfully no adblue. Also forgot to mention that the module for cooling fan 2 is not working so I have a new one. When I tried to force regen, pre these checks it said 'failed for safety reasons', what ever that means. So while im in there ill probably remove and clean the egr and see where that takes me. I only run premium fuel out of good practice.Just annoying that it comes all at once, but it is what it is. I'll have alook for those videos, thank you.

Hello all, hope someone can help with this issue? Story as follows, had a copper washer disintegrate which was the start, so I removed all injectors cleaned with new washers and replaced 1 on cylinder 5. After coding it in and test drive(runs sweet btw) the coil light was flashing, so plugged in vcds to get the dreaded p200200 code! Called a dpf specialist to have a look which was just informed that the dpf is no where near blocked and he suspects a low egr pressure issue! Now do I clean it or replace it? Not afraid of getting involved in the engine as im changing cooling fans as a module on fan 2 is kaput so changing the lot and did the injectors myself as well as brakes and such like. Not sure where to go from here so just looking for advice/thoughts on possible solutions. Thank you all in advance

Morning stevey y, Changed the battery for new and the car needs to do a regen but I was told that as the actuator is saying open circuit it won't perform it. I cleared the fault codes and the only one that came back is the cylinder head open circuit one. Thanks

Morning all, Had to change the washers on my injectors the other day and when I restarted the car the engine management light came on with flashing coil light and a dashboard msg saying start stop system malfunction. Does anyone have any sort of previous with this problem?
