Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

My advice would be to speak to Powerflow exhausts. My brother and friends have used them and had good results.

You'll probably have to remove the seats.

Full service required. Possibly new battery. Diagnostic check for any fault codes. Why was it taken off the road?

Could be the turbo or turbo boost pipes.

Day 3 - 19/09/22 Another cracking day, we drove from Koblenz to Barden Barden via the autobahn. Unfortunately we couldn't max the Audi due to traffic but did get her up to 120mph. We'll give it another go tomorrow though! Once at Barden Barden we stopped to have a look around at this beautiful historic town. We visited the museum and had a hot chocolate at the Lindt shop. Then we hit the B500 and surrounding roads into the Black Forest which was absolutely stunning! It did give the car a good workout as the steep hills caused the engine temperature to climb but she never failed us. We then fought through Stuttgart traffic to get to our hotel and went for dinner in a lovely Chinese restaurant along with our first German beers of the trip. Here's to tomorrow where we'll visit the Mercedes Museum. 256.6 miles covered today. Day 4 - 20/09/22 Today we made the short drive from the hotel to the Mercedes Benz museum which wasn't as bad as I thought It'd be. However we're still not sure if we have entered the low emission zone or not. But I guess time will tell with a ticket in the post. The Mercedes Benz museum was truly incredible, and it took us 5 hours to see it all. We definitely had earned our lunch after looking around all the priceless exhibits. Exhibits which included early cars, prototypes, celebrity owned cars as well as planes and trucks. After the museum we made the 2 hour drive to Munich, and managing to max the A6 on the autobahn which was 135mph which was indicated as 142mph on the Speedo. On arrival at the hotel in Munich it was a chance to get ready quick before meeting family and heading out on the train to Octoberfest. Octoberfest was incredible, the Germans certainly know how to do things properly! The rollercoasters and other rides could easily put some of our theme parks to shame, and this is for a temporary event! As was to be expected the beer was great, entertainment great and period dress very smart. I couldn't leave without buying a new hat! Here's to tomorrow, where we will be heading to the BMW museum. Day 5 - 21/09/22 So today we visited the BMW museum which was ok. No where near as nice as the Mercedes Museum and felt it could have done with more exhibits such as BMW movie cars or more classics from the 90s. There was no BMW E39 for example. On top of this the parking was the most expensive we've found at €15 for 5 odd hours. The BMW Welt had a good display of current BMW models available of cars and bikes including those from Mini and Rolls Royce. Ronan did well on the simulator. Afterwards we met up with Dad who had just got a train from Munich airport and we went off to explore the 1972 Olympic stadium. The stadium was fantastic and still widely used. We even got to go up the tower and get some stunning views of the city. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as we are taking the Audi back to its birthplace! Let's hope we make it! 🤞

Audi should be able to give you the name of the interior colour. I've found searching for the name was easier than code.

Welcome to the forum Ronan, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Great looking A4, the b6 was the best A4 shape in my opinion. What issues have you got with it? As you'll know the 1.9 is fairly tough if looked after. It's in good hands now as you're a mechanic 🙂

Steering

Could be the switch. Was it doing it prior to the remap?

Day two 18/09/22 So today we drove 4 hours from Dunkirk to the Nurbergring and had a fantastic time! We took the A6 round the track and then had a hot lap to get a full experience of the ring. 🙂 VID_619000319_111434_390.mp4 VID_619000317_161648_035.mp4

Rider

Could it be clutch related?

Definitely shouldn't have happened. Any proof the cars been repaired after an accident? I'd definitely get an Audi body shop to take a look.

Id definitely look for a second hand unit on eBay or similar. Is it the ballast box that's failed?

Glad you've got sorted 🙂 let's hope you have no further issues 🙂

I think you have to purchase an SD card. Is there an SD card slot in the glovebox or armrest?

Definitely use thermo paint, you can buy it in Halfords or similar motor factors. Not seen anyone use exhaust hear wrap in a very long time. I'd recommend you get the car wrapped professionally don't forget to declare the colour change to the DVLA.

This link might help: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/5512/ . I think it's near the gear selector.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sorry to hear of your situation. Not sure on the c6 but I know on my c5 the 2.5tdi differences relate to the head, valves, camshafts etc and the block is the same. Has the engine been disassembled to diagnose it fully?

Day 1 - 17/09/22 We left Donington Park race circuit and headed along the M1 & M25 for the channel tunnel as Ronan had been racing and finished 2nd in class. We made good time to the tunnel and managed to get on 2 trains earlier than planned, which was great! During the train ride through the tunnel we decided to fit the UK sticker and headlight stickers we forgot to fit before leaving the UK. Once we departed the train, we had a 30 minute drive to Dunkirk where we were staying. The drive thankfully was straightforward and the motorways are far smoother than the ones back home.

When you say the needle flickers is it just the needle or is the engine revs definitely off.
