Hi there, isn't the brb a 1.9tdi? The camshaft or valves could be worn especially if it's run low on oil. what's the mileage on it?

I know you've done the head gasket test but is there any white smoke coming from the exhaust? Also it might be worth getting a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. Egr coolers are a common failure on VAG cars. I'd advise a good quality replacement as cheap ones can fail quite quickly

Hi Tony, this could be a faulty 3rd brake light if fitted. I had a similar issue on my 2002 A6 and had to replace the unit. Not sure what work the garage have done but it might be worth you getting an auto electrican to take a look at the wiring. Also did you change any bulbs lately? I ask as when I changed a brake light bulb on my works 2010 ford transit I fitted the wrong one and it caused the brake lights to stay on when lights were on and passenger side front side light to come on when braking.

I'm guessing you've collected your A3? Hope it's living up to expectations 🙂 I'd say take 10mpg of the manufacturers figures and you'd be about right.

Yep there's a club stand 🙂

Can't really speak for my a6 now as I have to change tyres due to age rather than mileage. However on my ford Kuga daily I was using continentals but wasn't happy with how long they lasted. I switched to Hankooks midrange roadstones and definitely last longer, a lot longer. I'm getting around 8-10k more miles out of them compared to continentals.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 nice looking A6. I drive an old Audi which my dad bought new then passed to me. With older ones it's all about how well it's been maintained. Mines on 339k miles on the original engine and gearbox which have never been rebuilt. Second turbo mind, first blew at 75k. Anything mines needed it's had and has never missed a service in 20 years. Plus it's been on multiple road trips including to France, Belgium, nc500 and lands end to John O Groats. As well as doing track time at castle Combe and Santa Pod.

They should have do e good will. But same thing happened to my dad with the c5 I now have. 3 days out of warranty and the turbo blew. Audi paid half of the repair.

Id definitely speak to Audi. As I think it's done through the my Audi app as a guess.

With any electrical faults especially if the car has electronic power steering it's worth getting the battery checked as a failing battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues.

Have you had a diagnostic check carried out? It could be a wiring issue.

Could you upload some pics of the corrosion. Either way I think you should t expect rust on a two year old car in today's day and age. Bare in mind if the garage repaint/sort the rust you will get 12 months warranty on the work carried out with a main dealer. Or you should do.

I think the lights are also controlled by door pins. Which activate the lights when the doors are opened. These can fail over time.

Exactly. Any stripping of a gearbox internals is very expensive.

I'm sure I read a similar post that indicated that it becomes greyed out if the subscription has expired

Good plan 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 if it's an SD card type then they can be bought off eBay.

Have you got wet carpets?

No probs at all. There's a similar one called breaker link which I've also used.

Glad that's all it was 🙂

I believe the version in your car is the revised version. I believe when they do an update on the part they change the letter. Hypothetically it should fit. Also bare in mind it might need coding to the car.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Have a look in the search section for what you're looking for. Usually the roofs fail to open/close due to a failed pump or wiring. But sometimes it can be something as simple as something caught behind the rear seats preventing it from opening.

This could be a module or sensor failure. Think you'll need a diagnostic check.

Have you checked you haven't got any wet carpets? As I believe the CCM is under the passenger footwell. When it gets wet it causes All sorts of electrical issues.
