I'd recommend you speak to autologics or Audi retrofits. You'll need it coding.

I wonder if the mobile phone film type would work?

If it's that easy why hasn't he done it?
I'd recommend a second opinion, preferably from a mobile mechanic, ideally one that's vag knowledgeable.

I'd recommend getting this back to the garage who did the work for them to rectify it.

Dpf might need replacing if the cleaning doesn't work.
Regarding the power steering, how old is the car battery? I ask because if it's over 5-7 years old then it could be failing. This can cause the car to throw up all sorts of electrical issues.

Unless the power steering emis whining etc id say it's normal compared to new cars.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.

In terms of refinement, do folks think part of the difference is the suspension set up on the S-Line? like on the A5 which lowers with SLine.
Could well be. Plus the fact the A4 is bigger will keep it more planted.

Thanks for the heads up. Glad you got it sorted.

I'd definitely be considering the thermostat

Thanks guys, the cars I have currently shortlisted are all S-Tronic with mileage between 78 and 110k. Will the timing belt tensioners need to have been done at this kind of mileage?
Mist definitely. And make sure the gearbox has been serviced on time.

Problem resolved. I replace the tailgate lock. My conclusion is that the lock did not "signal" door open and this causes the towbar to not release etc....
Glad you got sorted 🙂

If you've bought it from a dealer then they have to fix it foc in the first 30 days from sale as you're still entitled to a full refund within that time.

Aftermarket exhaust?
If so, might be worth looking at powerflow exhausts. My brother and friend have oth used them and been happy with the product

Imobilisers
in Audi A6 (C5) Forum
Posted
Hello all, my mechanic believes that if I keep my ECU and injectors and put it in a 2.5tdi that has different engine code then the car should work fine as the imobiliser/ECU will think it's the old engine.
I know the Ake and bau are different heads but would the 150bhp and 163bhp engines have the similar design to aym. As such would this work just adding my ECU and injectors to the different engine code. Then I wouldn't needs to code the pump ect.
Would it also work for bau or Ake even though heads are different?
Just want full clarity before I buy any engine as I'm still under the impression the injection pump, instrument cluster and ECU have to match.
I'm tearing my hair out now as I just want the A6 back running so any help will be appreciated.
