Hello to all I have a 2007 A6/C6 Avant with a 2.0TDI BRE Engine. It has had a replacement EGR valve and throttle body (both VDO units) about 24 months ago. I've swapped out the MAF, and it has just been serviced. I was aware that the clutch was pretty worn, so was hoping that this being...

Thanks Ape As the battery is in the boot, the best I'll be able to do is have the key out of the ignition, as the tailgate will need to be wide open whilst I have the multimeter on the battery posts in any event. I suspect what I'll do, is to leave it overnight, and simply unlock the car in...

Hello S8Craig Apologies to highjack this thread a little bit, but I've been reading elsewhere on this forum, that you know your onions in terms of Audi electronics and retrofitting / upgrading MMI systems etc? I would have PM'd you, but the forum doesn't seem to have the feature, and the...
