    Audi A6 C6 with Bi Xenon Headlights - bulb help!

    BTW, the Halford's bulbs do not state they are CanBus, BUT they are quite pricey compared to eBay ones, and Halford's don't need the hassle of returns etc, so they are probably CanBus compatible as standard, but they don't make a thing of it. When buying on eBay, they are cheaper, but not all...

    Audi A6 C6 with Bi Xenon Headlights - bulb help!

    Thanks for the input! Nice to get something locked down with a concrete answer Doesn't always happen!! Yes, LED bulbs upgrade is a nice option HOWEVER, make sure that the bulbs you buy are CanBus compatible, otherwise it will throw a warning light on the dash every time you start the car The...

    Turbo - need some help (2.0 TDI)

    I saw this video online and so thought it should be easy to test?: Skip to 1:55 in. The car seems to drive ok, although it's a new car (to us) and so nothing to compare to. The EGR valve is definitely ok. I've removed that, it was pretty clean to be fair, cleaned it up anyway, tested that...

    Audi A6 C6 with Bi Xenon Headlights - bulb help!

    Good news! Yes, the large bulb is daytime running, the tiny bulb in the top of the same cluster is sidelights. Xenon in the second cluster does both standard and high beam (bi xenon). Or at least that's my set up :-)

    Turbo - need some help (2.0 TDI)

    Yes, I thought it might be. I'm goigto buy a cheap pressure tester kit from eBay (£12) and use it to see if that arm on the actuator will move whenmanual vacuum pressure s applied.

    Turbo - need some help (2.0 TDI)

    Hi guys! Hoping you can help as need a little!! Having some rough idling issues, especially noticeable when revving between 1,000 and 2,000 RPM's (stationary for testing). I've had a look at the Turbo, more specifically the actuator that sits on top, and the arm (piston) that pushes downward...

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    I'm no expert, just learning as I go :-) You can check the consumption figure using VCDS. Do you have that?

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    That's very interesting! Maybe the cambelt timing was tweaked on the exhaust cam to set the fuel consumption correctly, and when the injectors were changed these would be more efficient as brand new and so throwing it out a bit. In which case an adjustment to the exhaust cam could solve in...

    A6 C6 - Are electric seats a simple retro-fit?

    My existing seats are actually heated already, but manual adjustment witb electric lumbar. So the heated side of things should not be an issue.

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    Hey Allyn78 If your issue occurred after the cambelt change it's likely that the cambelt needs slight adjustment. Most likely on the inlet cam I believe. Was the plate you used solid, i.e. no hole? Usually that should throw the engine light on?

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    Thanks guys! Well, inlet manifold also removed and cleaned, again pretty tidy already. Ran a quick check for vacuum leaks and could not find any. I ran some injectors cleaner through the fuel and took readings from the injectors when engine warm a few days later, and getting decent readings...

    2.0 TDI - Timing Belt Settings with VCDS - no TORSION values!!!

    Hi guys Trying to see if I ave a timing issue. Here are my readings in VCDS: Fuel consumption looks good at 0.60l/h for the exhaust cam. HOWEVER - I DO NOT HAVE A TORSION VALUE IN MEASURING GROUP 004!!! As you can see, it normally appears at the end on Group 04 in the fourth box. But it...

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    Actually yes, not that long ago. I've only owned it a couple of weeks. I've been researching exactly that actually as I found some posts with people with the same symtoms, and most people it occuredafter a cambelt change. It seems you can use vag com to take the timing reading on the PD...

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    Hey mm707 Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I've seen the Avon tune come up in discussion on the forums with regards to the 2.0tdi smoking issue a couple of times, so must be something to it. However, let's say in theory the EGR delete and cam timing adjustment solves this issue, the...

    2.0 tdi - strange issues 60 seconds after start up!!!

    That's very interesting indeed! I assumed if it were injector it would start playing up straight away. If it were a weeping injector leaking diesel down into the sump overnight, that would smoke immediately though, right??
