You're welcome, doesn't sound like the battery is at fault. Could it be an issue with the instrument cluster?
-
This article might help: Either way check near the manifold, cat, or other places along the exhaust or even dpf.
-
You're welcome. If it is the ballast then this can be changed but might need to be coded in.
-
You'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the ballast
-
To add to Gareth's advice, on older audi models if the hazard switch fails or starts to fail it can cause the I dictators to play up. If that's the case the cure is a new hazard switch
-
Now that I'm not sure. It's a risk for sure. Might be smooth seeking the advice from an auto electrician on that one.

Help: Audi A6 (C8) 2019 PPI and service record advise
Steve Q replied to Arsenal2006's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
With the issues I'd walk away, as clearly the current owner is getting shot of it in my opinion -
Well done for tackling it yourself. Does your local motor factors not carry the bolt size in stock?
-
Oh wow, great stuff Tony 😊 sorry I've not arranged shows this year. Since my Audi is off the road and my mate Jack emigrated with his TT I've lost the heart to organise the stands.

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

Might be worth getting the battery checked to see if it's working as it should. As a failing battery can cause these symptoms
-
They're not interchangeable. You need to swap the failed part out for one that has the exact same part number
-
Glad the mechanic has got to the bottom of it 🙂 please keep us posted
-
No probs at all

If you've bought it from a dealer I'd get it back to them asap for repair. They should repair it free of charge

You're welcome please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Not sure if these threads will help: https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/vacuum-routing-refresher.257619/ https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/volkswagen-tdi-alh-vacuum-diagrams-stock-modified.290286/ https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/656655-Vacuum-Hose-Routing-Diagram https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-s8-d3-platform-discussion-60/need-vacuum-hose-diagram-2784211/

As Cliff says plus it's a money making racquet
-
I wonder if this is a fault with the instrument cluster. You can send it off for an assessment and repair. Repairs usually are around £200-£300
-
Darn. I'll take another look online to see what more I can find 🙂

No you should be able to I think. I think it'll depend if it has canbus which was first introduced either in 2003 or 2004. My A6 is pre canbus so it's slightly harder due to the system not being as complex as later ones. But either way a competent mechanic should be able to diagnose it.
-
This will depend on spec but there were changes to the headlights, rear lights and safety systems
-
Id recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the window switch. Or bizarrely it might be worth checking the battery to make sure it's working efficiently as a failing battery can throw up unusual electrical gremlins

Just checked similar threads. I member had a similar issue with there A1 and the positive terminal had corrosion which was stopping it from starting properly:
