    Electric folding, or not!?

    This is working now by the way. I changed the car battery (as it was dying, 7 years old anyway). After doing that, I played with the wing mirrow switch again and hey presto, they now fold in and out! Only with the ignition on I might add. Is there coding in VCDS to fold in and out automatically?

    Electric folding, or not!?

    Yes, twisted it so the dot was in the 6 o'clock position, but not working. Very keen to plug vagcom in and play about, maybe tomorrow.

    Electric folding, or not!?

    Hello all! Today, we picked up a Q7 3.0 tdi 2008. Very happy too! We have a question about the electric folding wing mirrors, our manual doesn't really help (us at least!) should they electronically fold in and out as standard or is it an option? We ask this because on the drivers door...

    A6 c6 s line avant driver information display problom

    I still can’t believe how people are so willing to throwmoney at the problem/fix it from one's own pocket (time is also money). I feel so compelled to draw up a website to advertise the issue publicly or something, soAudi can see what crap they have put into £20-30K+ vehicles and maybe...

    Black smoker - no faults found :( YET!

    I did have a garage pressure test that and it was ok apparently. Perhaps a proper visual inspection is needed! I cant seem to see the SMIC through the grill. Guess if I take the bumper off I can get to it easy? or better on a ramp?

    Black smoker - no faults found :( YET!

    Thanks for the suggestion too, but I have already changed the air filter along with a new MAF to no avail, £120 down the pan better spent on a real car engineer. Trying to learn about fuel pressure regulators now to see if that's playing up. Woohoo!

    Black smoker - no faults found :( YET!

    Suppose I can check the pressure reading via vcds? But what do I compare the value too?

    Hi, I have a 2008 A6 C6 Avant 2.0 TDI 113k miles which is chucking out black smoke from stand still/pulling off. I cover 60 miles daily (pretty much and mainly motorway). Ran VAGCOM and found no faults. Checked four injectors and found no faults. They are also running within spec values...

    A6 c6 s line avant driver information display problom

    I suspect there are thousands more out in the UK which have the same issue. Audi havn't come back to me. I think I scared them off when I showed this thread to them. Trading standards perhaps?

    A6 c6 s line avant driver information display problom

    Hi steve, It's good to know we are in the same boat so to speak. I do suspect dry connections of a sort which when warmed cause the display to function again. I bought my car late summer when it was still warm outside. When the weather changed, that's when my issue with the driver...
