Oops lol. Glad it's sorted 🙂
-
I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? Think the obd port is under the driver side lower dash. It could be a gearbox module issue. What's the service history on the gearbox? As degrading oil can affect the gear changes.
-
Just think, most people only come onto forums etc when they have a problem. As last Ng as it's been looked after you should be fine. For example my A6 is known for engine problems being the 2.5 V6 TDI. However mine has done 344k before failing. I know the history of the car as it's only been owned by my dad then me.

Maybe it was just a blip.

Greetings! Few questions about my new (old) car!
Steve Q replied to ZerosGiven's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
The tailgate water could be coming from the rear wiper motor. Definitely worth taking the rear panel off to investigate. The tailpipes will either be screwed on or welded on. Only way to know it to look under. 20 inch wheels seem large. Are they Audi ones? Definitely worth seeing if Audi wil stamp the book for you. -
I've struggled to hear the specific noise. But it could be a chain or tensioner causing rattling.
-
Could it be a wheel bearing or failing driveshaft?

A6 air suspension, crying like a little girl
Steve Q replied to toby t's topic in Audi A6 (C6) Forum
Yea it could be a level sensor and probably the cheapest part to change. -
A5 - Adblue: system fault. No restart in 600 miles!
Steve Q replied to djjmorgan's topic in Audi Technical
Adblue faults are common it's often the sensor or the module that fails. -

Could definitely be the relay at fault. At least the compressor is working. Or a module fault. -
If the Halfords one has a 5 year guarantee then you can't go far one in my opinion.

Look at YouTube videos for buyers guides. Check for timing chain rattle on start up. Timing chain needs doing around 100k. What's the service history on it? Has gearbox and quattro system been serviced? Do all electrical items work? Have a look under A7 section as certain models can eat Dunlop tyres (first generation).

You'll need the headlights, module, possible wiring harness then get it coded to the car. For costings I'd recommend you speak to autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them for retrofits and been happy with the results.

Not sure to be honest. Like you I did the same and have the rnse unit in my garage. However I'm thinking of going the aftermarket route as I like the idea of having Bluetooth on the screen and a reverse camera possibly.
-
Very nice 👍
-
No probs at all. To be fair I'm old school and prefer having a dipstick. I don't have too much trust in technology or computers.
-
It's not easy. You'll need the head unit, upgraded antenna, wiring harnesses, additional modules? The simplest option is to fit an aftermarket android auto/apple car play touch screen.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Just curious what you're putting the running gear in?
-
Will keep thinking where else it could be getting in.

1995 2.6E Cabriolet - what was standard spec?
Steve Q replied to Astech101's topic in Classic Audi Club
If it has an alarm I suspect the siren will be in the boot side panel. Electric aerial was standard I think as was the headlights on function. Even my old ford escort has that. If you have a sticker in your boot it might have the different codes on it which would highlight the spec when codes are put in a decoder. Think clear lenses were fitted to facelift cars if I'm not mistaken -
Glad you got sorted 🙂
-
You might have to contact Audi or an auto locksmith
-
Good job you found the damage before you ran it
-
I'd check eBay but some engines different have the comparability
-
Timing could be out. When was the timing belt last changed? It could have stretched.
