There is this debate going on at the moment on the A6 (B6) forum section...maybe worth dipping in there to check on the progress of the posts...hopefully someone will pop up with the answer.

Hi Gary, I wonder if it is a seat bolster/cushion adjustable support (much like the lumbar) but has gone faulty and therefore not reaching a threshold? Just a thought! Trevor

I found this information in an earlier post (2013) The versions on the A6 which do not have nav have the smaller monochrome red screen and four function buttons on the MMI control instead of eight (it will have radio, media, tel, car but missing nav, directory, setup and info. They are also missing the navigation module in the boot. Personally, I find a TomTom does just as good job but the updates cost a fraction of the price! It just doesn't have the 'built in' feel. I know it doesn't answer your question as to how to work the system but it does seem as though it is now considered old school technology and probably not worth bothering to update, etc.

Hi Sarah...welcome to the Forum I'm not sure but it may just be a case of trying it to see if its the same and if not then have to send back. I can't imagine there would be much difference in the belt itself but may be in the buckle so if it clips in then all well and good. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

Hi Sam...welcome to the Forum Had a similar problem recently with an Alfa gearbox (Vauxhall gearbox used)....could not find anything wrong with the external selector cables and turned out to be an internal fault but not synchros which usually result in crunching gears when trying to select. Let us know how it progresses, if it gets worse or even completely disappears. Cheers Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum Look forward to reading your posts and trying to answer your questions in the future Cheers Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum Look forward to reading your posts in the future Cheers Trevor

Hi Simon...welcome to the Forum Holy Moly...that's low!!! Great looking car, keep us informed of the mods you do on it. Cheers Trevor

I know a few of the Technicians there and know they have a good reputation but never spent money with them before

Hi Lee....welcome to the Forum The car looks great especially with the black alloys. Look forward to reading your posts in the future. Cheers Trevor

Hi Ali...welcome to the Forum You could try Advanced Auto Repairs Unit 2, Beaver Indest, 8, Airfield Rd, Christchurch,Dorset, BH23 3TG Cheers Trevor

I would check the wiring isn't broken in the loom that runs from the A pillar to the drivers door as they can break where the wiring is articulating when opened and closed all the time....which can then lead to fractures. Should just be able to peel back the rubber gaiter and see if there is anything amiss. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

Hi Dave....welcome to the Forum It could be a standard Diesel Injector rattle when accelerating but just to be on the safe side of things I would definitely take it to a garage to check out oil quality and to confirm it's nothing disastrous. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

Hi Michael....welcome to the Forum The Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS) measures the temperature of the coolant at all times and is constantly referenced by the Engine Management System (EMS) and Instrumentation to determine the correct fuel quantity, ignition timing, fans and just about anything else that needs to know how hot the engine is. There is sometimes only one wire, which would indicate that this sensor is for the gauges only, or two/three wires which would indicate the sensor is being used for EMS and gauges...and anything else needing the temp reading. Hope this clarifies it for you? Cheers Trevor

Hi Bobby...welcome to the Forum You could try replacing the switches on the brake pedal (they're very cheap from somewhere like GSF) and see if that makes a difference Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers Trevor

Hi Lewis...welcome to the Forum You are certainly experiencing a humdinger of a problem there! I would have thought it was a problem with the ABS unit. If you could power it up so that the pump is running and pushing the fluid through it...could be a build up of crud and not allowing the valves to operate...e.g. being stuck in position. Just a thought, but worth trying to bleed fluid through it by cracking the unions on the modulator and seeing if fluid comes out. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers Trevor

Hi Lee...welcome to the Forum Possibly the central locking actuator on the drivers door at fault...worth checking the wiring harness as it goes from the A post into the door for broken wires first. I would always recommend a flush to clear any deposits from inside the engine to allow the oil a better chance of working efficiently. Cheers Trevor

Hi Jeff....welcome to the Forum what are the actual symptoms with the engine? Cheers Trevor

Hi Robert It should fit the slot nicely but not sure if you'll have all the necessary cabling there...worth looking to see if there is an adapter (like the sort they sell in Halfords) to plug and play rather than cutting wires, etc. Also, it may need programming into the vehicle to work. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers Trevor

I would have thought they would extinguish after a certain time period as it's automatic (see your way to the front door, etc)

Hi Neil....welcome to the Forum It seems that manufacturers' claims are substantially higher than anyone ever experiences in real life. It also depends on driving styles, roads, traffic, etc...probably all tested on French motorways where there is hardly any traffic at all. Let us know how you get on with acquiring one. Cheers Trevor

Hi Mike...welcome to the Forum Try this link http://www.mytimingbelt.com/Makes/Audi/ Cheers Trevor

Hi...welcome to the forum There may be an Aux port in the back of the stereo if you hook it out to check is one is there. Let us know if you do find one Cheers Trevor

Welcome to the Forum Shame about missing out on the above car...it looks a gem! Not sure about the media controller but it sounds like it has been relocated to make it easier to use. I personally would go for the TDi but that's personal choice really and based on my regular journeys which make the diesel the best option for economy. Let us know how you get on with acquiring one Cheers Trevor

Hi Lewis It sounds like you have gone through all the possibilities there are relating to a fault like this. The only other possibility is wiring...possibly a short circuit which is causing the symptoms. Please do let us know what you eventually find as others may experience this in the future. Good luck with it. Cheers, Trevor
