I fitted an ebay regulator wire to my A6 yesterday, I fitted it with the window up. It was a bit fiddly and there was swearing involved but I found it easiest to loop the wire around everything except one of the bottom pulleys, then with a couple of thin screwdrivers managed to coax the wire...

Hi Guys Can anyone tell me if the rear pads are worn will the warning light go on the dis? I cant see any wires on pads, is there another method of activating the warning lights for rear?

Thanks for that. I know it helps to use the right tool but I am reluctant to buy another, just a ****** it is so far away. I will try it tomorrow with the pliers. Cheers

Hi Guys When changing rear pads you apparently have to wind back the pistons. Do you really need a special tool or can something else be used? If so what? Actually bought tool a year ago, never used it yet and have left it in friends garage 200 miles away. Cheers

Managed it. Had to move cables around to see, but there is a 13mm bolt holding a bracket at the front left hand side of battery, couldnt see it at first but once I did it was a doddle.

Hi Guys Very stupid question. How the hell do you remove the battery in a 2000 A6 2.5 tdi? I have removed plastic covers and cannot for the life of me see any way to remove battery to access drain holes. Any help appreciated.

RESULT. I am over the moon, Stirling Audi repairing my A6 under warranty. Also discovered that the belts and water pump etc. had been done same time as last cam repair so all is well with me. Getting the car back on Tues so cant wait. Thanks for all your ears and support and I hope you all have...

Sorry to hear of your troubles with cams. Everyone I speak to says they have never heard of cams going like this. Anyway, car sent to Audi Stirling and I will await their judgement. I cannot praise enough the helpful attitude of Autohaus Edinburgh http://autohausedinburgh.co.uk/default.aspx and...

Spoke to the independant and also Audi Stirling, I have to call and speak to I presume the Service Manager on Tues at Stirling Audi. Both agreed that the cams should not go so quickly. Back of the invoice from Audi states warranty for 3 months or 3k but independant state that parts should be at...

Absolutely. Will certainly be calling them in the morning. It shouldn't happen again so quickly. Sorry to hear about your probs. I love the car, I had Audi 100s many years ago, loved them too, but I fear paying all that cash and it happening again in another 22k.

Just going through the service history. I bought the car Feb 08. Invoice from Stirling Audi dated Dec 07 for £1491 for replacing cams. The car has done 22,000 miles since then, driven by me. I am by no means a boy racer or hard on the car and has mostly been motorway at circa 70 mph. I have...

O well!! Cams, etc all stuffed. Quote £1400 before they find any more damage. That includes new belts. They don't know why it happened though. Slipped belt? Is that usual or possible?

Thanks Guys, went to a garage run by 2 ex Audi Edinburgh mechanics today. Nothing showing on diagnostic. They reckon the car runs slightly better with the MAF unplugged so that is probably stuffed. Said they would have to take rockers off and check compression? They mentioned a similar but worse...

Thanks. I will check all the intake stuff, I looked at the air filter but I just replaced that a couple of months ago and it is clean as a whistle. I used an unregistered vagcom so i presume it has limited functionality. I am reluctant to take it to the dealers as I fear they will say the turbo...

Hi Guys Can anyone offer me advice please. 2000 130,000 miles. Car running like a dream until yesterday I started her up and she was runny lumpy, then noticed smoke (White/hint of blue) Lost a lot of power. Car shuddering a bit on tickover. Felt all the world like a vacuum hose was leaking...

Got ECU back first thing Mon morning, fitted and tested - Result. Cannot recommend BB - Reman enough. Now I can find out what the DIS does lol

Removed the ECU Thursday and sent it off to BB Reman. They called Frid at 13:00 to say they had recieved it and to confirm symptoms. They called back 16:00 Frid to tell me it has been repaired. I paid by card and got an e-mail soon after to confirm it is on its way back to me with a tracking...
