I sold my Beautiful A6 Avant. So goodbye to my A6 friends who have helped me over the years. But wait a moment, I am not going far, I am changing forum destinations. I have just purchased a Audi E-Tron GT. 

Very nice! 

You can be our e-tron expert 😉

Found out my car will cease to start in 450 miles! 😵

Adblue system fault, no fault codes though!

+ I’m now 230 miles from home!

Anyone come across this before?

guess I’ll be getting the water leak fixed too then!

You need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Most likely ab issue with the level sensor.

It’s booked for Fri am.

There is a light on in the tunnel - apparently adblue wasn’t compulsory for my year/engine (euro 6) combo, so it can be disabled/deleted if necessary. Depends what’s wrong & how much it might cost to fix!

fault codes are odd 3 figure codes.

[Steve Q]

The problem with deleting it, is that it could be an MOT fail. As emissions controls must work if fitted from factory.

I’m there tomorrow am, so I can ask.  
but thanks for the heads up!

this was posted on audisporr, which they said worked . I haven't watched it myself yet though.

Mines defo not an adblue level issue, it’s stating ‘Adblue System Fault’

[Steve Q]

Could be the module

It was low pressure, so could have been any 1 (or more of 4 or 5 components.

not a happy chappy ! Too many £’s.
 

oh, well, I’m not going to be selling it for some years anyway, so guess you have to expect a few things like this!

Just on the AdBlue issue, last year just after I got my A6 I filled mine to the brim and the car said 'No AdBlue - car will not start' (or the equivalent message) and I was stuck! Apparently there is a Light/Laser that shines down through the tank to measure the fill level by reflection of the light off the surface of the liquid in the tank... However, if you absolutely fill it to the brim it makes contact with the lens of the light putting it below the liquid - therefore the light shines, gets no reflection as it is already below the reflective surface, so concludes the tank is empty! No AdBlue - No Start - No go! So one to be aware of...

This past weekend I updated my MMI software (to include Apple CarPlay / Android Auto functionality) and my Maps to the 2022/2023 version, so the A14 near Cambridge no longer freaks it out thinking I'm driving through fields!

Now, after a long round-trip, it needs a wash...

[Steve Q]

In my case I'm chasing a lead on a replacement engine and going on Monday to see the donor car, owner and workshop where the engine will be transplanted. All being well of course! 

I hope, pray and fingers crossed it's all good so I can get my A6 back on the road 

[56Doc]

Worried I might have to go down that route, mines started to rattle on start-up like a pair of Marracas!

Your a6 looks identical to mine

[mesza]

Had it about 6 weeks, added the rimblades, and some interior stuff and had a stage 1 remap. Very happy with it.  Got any pics of yours?

[mesza]

Also added red air vent strips  and a red led dash light strip
