ok, i bought my car about a month ago of off ebay, it was advertised as a 2008 A6 le mans, i have had several people tell me it's not a proper le mans, i could do with some help please. mine is a 2.7 tdi badged car ..... apparently all le mans were 3.0 on the gille it says s line not le mans apparently according to the so called expert le mans had a le mans grill badge mine has le mans front wing badges mine does not have le mans rear badges which supposedly they all have...... my log book says le mans any help? heres some photos (excuse the dirt)

can't see anything relating to the le mans 😔

spoken to my local idependent specialists, as iv'e now had three new parking aid modules..... seems the scumbag i bought the car off tried to replace the module with the wrong module, so iv'e been buying new modules with a certain code on it 4F0 919 283 H when it should have been a 4F0 910 283 P. and of course the one i need i can only buy from bl00dy; Latvia at nearly £200. fortunatley Volkstech near Maltby (6.5 miles away from me) say thay should be able to re program one othe the modules i have bought.....

Ok, after much explaining to them.... Will not repair a car without first diagnosing the problem for them selves. = £65.00 Labour £60.00 diagnostics Will not entertain trying to code another module unless supplied by them. = £65.00 Labour £60.00 diagnostics, £330.00 module, £60.00 to code it plus £65.00 Labour. So £580.00 is plus VAT.....

Unfortunately non near me ☹️

Well I bought a second hand module of off ebay, exactly the same part numbers but it seems the new one came off an automatic car, mines a manual so it doesn't work, is there anyone other than main dealers that can re program them at all? Thanks Tony.

It's an on line very deep check into the vehicle, it shows it all in the video.

It is an all singing all dancing check, if you watch the video I am about to put up it will show you everything. https://youtu.be/eSBznf9fgWg

i have the 2.7 Le Mans saloon, it's a lovely car to drive, problems i have had on mine (not many) parking sensors don't work, and alloy wheels need a refurb, i would really recomend a full check on the vehicle, i use car verticle as recomended by salvage rebuilds on youtube, they do a discount code gets you money off your checks.

After trying 6 different audi garages I found one that said it's in the boot.... would sill like confirmation though.

As per the title, anyone tell me where the module that does the front parking sensors is located please? Tried talking to Audi and the conversation went along the lines of, bring it to us to repair, no we can't tell you where it's located.....

Yes, watched them.

Yes just tried that, no joy.

had the front bumper off today, unpluged everything and checked the connections, re pluged them in, cleared the fault code and it came back instantly, tried to test the circuit but it won't let you while it has a fault code..... might end up just having to live with it, audi want £110.00 to look at at to tell me whats wrong with it..... and thats without repairing it, i know what they will do, new harness..... new sensors...... new module..... and that'll be nearly £2000.

Really struggling, I have a 2008 2.7 manual le mans A6 I can find details on 3.0 le mans but nothing on the 2.7. Can anyone enlighten me how many 2.7 le mans were made at all? Cheers Tony

all sorted, removed the actuators, cleaned and greased and good as new 😁

Ok, so that's not exactly true, it will open with the switch in the car or if you use the button on the boot, but it just won't ppen when you press the key button, any thoughts? Thank you.

Not a sound from any of the sensors, so looking for likely a broken wire, I'll just strip it out and test it through.

time to have the front bumper off and check all the wiring and sensors, getting a fault code of 02069 - Front Parking Aid Sensors, open circuit, cleared off 23 seperate historic fault codes, drove it a good thirty miles and the only one to return is the parking assist.

Cheers. I'm in Carlton-in-Lindrick, may well take you up on the vcds offer

Afraid it's just a little too far for me for a one day show, pity as that's where I first got together with my wife in 2001.

Not Audi related but it is general chat, it's the Enfield pageant of Motoring next weekend, I shall be making the 175 mile trip in my Ford Consul Classic, tent all packed and ready to go. Tattoo Park the following weekend.

I'll let you know, the initial purchase price is higher but all the other iCarsoft units I've used on Jaguars and Mercedes have all been spot on, the other thing is I am always more than happy to lend it out to anyone in reasonable driving distance.
