Componant protection - Good or bad? I have just replaced a faulty CanBus gateway module on my 2007 A6 and of course componant protection has kicked in and disabled my dash, heater controls and reduced the functionallity of the mmi system, ok, no problem I will make some enquires to get the new...

Very nice car, love the interior too! :)

As above FL 2009+ models only, I have tried on my 07 plate using VCDS with no luck :(

Is this it? https://www.kufatec.com/en/listing/index/sCategory/480?p=1&o=1&n=12&f=146

Changed the battery in the remote and hey presto, it now opens the tailgate! So I also got round to fitting the Kuftec remote close mod I brought a couple of years ago to the tailgate and it will now close via the remote and door switch, happy days.

As Simon says ours are DPF ready but not fitted, In think its the 09 facelifts that got the filter and lowered the CO2 and road tax!

WOW, you dont hang about!! :)

The face lift car has the DPF, ours are only DPF prepared. So even if you fit a DPF etc, your CO value will not get adjusted, ever. So there is no incentive to do it. I'm sure they could check your emissions at every MOT...... hang on a sec, they already do this! So if they are really...

From the .gov website, 1gm ***!! K*: 201 to 225g/km £360 £360 £378 £198 £189 L: 226 to 255g/km £615 £615 £645.75 £338.25 £322.88 M: Over 255g/km £630 £630 £661.50 £346.50 £330.75

I have an 07 3.0 TDi Lemans too and yes, its 1gm over the lower tax bracket, mainly due to not having the DPF of the later cars which are in the lower bracket. The V5 rating means nothing I'm afraid, its what the tax website states, in fact iirc, there are 2 .gov websites with 2 different...

The problem is CODING is greyed out and cannot be used :(

What, I thought you had this sorted?! Well yes and no. The auto tailgate works just fine from the drivers door button and tailgate buttons but it will not open via the remote. I'm guessing its a coding thing, but the coding option is still greyed out on VCDS and VCDS shows no coding present...

There is a brightness setting in the MMi, have you checked to see if it is turned down to zero?

UPDATE: Fixed I brought a second hand master motor/controller, fitted it and hey presto it works like new. I did have a company take a look at the original units and 2 others that I had brought. The original master kept losing its coding as it was operating, they suspected a cracked circuit...

Just tried 12345 and got an error message saying that the module does not accept/support that input, tried it on another module and it said code not accepted so i'm guessing that the tailgate module 6D is not programable from VCDS :(
