thanks for the (very) prompt reply. Whereabouts are you located? I am around tomorrow, but need to be home-based around midday as someone is coming to collect some furniture.

Can anyone please recommend someone who may be VCDS equipped and able to assist with disabling swirl flap EML signals in southern central England? I've tried PMing a couple of peeps identified on the VCDS map close-ish to me, but had no responses. I am in Hungerford (M4 J13) but will clearly...

Hi Stef, I am in Hungerford with a 2006(56) A6/C6 with a 2.7TDI engine and I am after some local VCDS assistance. Are you still a VCDS owner and able to help? I posted details on the forum (see https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/swirl-flap-replacement-2-7tdi-bpp-engine.399263/ ) but have had...

I've searched the forum and not found an answer to this - but apologies if I simply didn't search on the right key-words. I have a 2006(56) A6 2.7TDi saloon with the BPP engine. I have been driving it for ages with the swirl flaps knackered and the EML illuminated (P1018/P3135, P2011 and...

so, closure on this item.. I was unable to find anyone locally who could diagnose/confirm the findings, so the car went into Ridgeway Audi in Newbury. Their diagnostics quickly confirmed a faulty phone control unit (thanks, S8Craig) which is located under the passenger seat. Total bill was...

Looks like I have an MMI problem in my MY2006 A6 saloon which requires specialist attention, or use of MMI diagnostics to confirm fault - which is thought to be phone ECU related. Can anyone tell me of any Audi/MMI specialists in West Berks/South Oxon/North Wilts/North Hants, or along the M4...

don't tell me... Seat out, door sill off, carpet up? Or is access easier than that? And thanks VERY much for your prompt response on this. Any reason for the phone ECU failing - or is just a random act of someone's god? oh.. and will any diagnostic process confirm this, before I source a...

I thought that the mute sign only came up when I turned the volume to its lowest setting - but I will check that. Can I disable the car phone part of the system - so that I get the radio back again? What and where is the car phone ECU? Is that the box in the mini-rack in the boot with the...

The car is a saloon and it does not have BOSE. For the amp and related moisture, am I looking in the rear nearside of the boot? If not, then where? Thanks.

I have owned a standard MY2006 A6 saloon for the past three years, which has been running perfectly, until it went in for an annual service. I have used the same independent garage for many years and have faith in their mechanics. The car is running factory fitted MMI High (colour SatNav...

I've just purchased a 2005 A6 and it is suffering 'sticky switches' in the centre console that houses the handbrake and gear shift. I have a suspicion that someone in the past has placed a drink in the cup-holder just behind the console and that this has spilled over the '<', 'Return' and '>'...
