Today i however noticed quite a puddle in the drivers footwell, not sure yet of the source as it doesnt seem to be the scuttle - i did however have a new windscreen fitted fairly recently.

    C6 S6 Issues after flat battey/replacement

    The battery died in my 2010 S6 Avant this week. It was so flat all it managed to do was unlock the car, after that totally dead and unresponsive. I tried jumpstarting but the battery was so flat it was pulling the voltage down on my jump battery and the car was doing all sorts of funny things -...

    New car and a few little woes...

    That bit of trim is for the rear LHS where you found it. It clips on to the edge of the panel nearest the outside of the car. The slot in it is for the cable for a swiveling trailer hitch. Steve

    mmi music streaming issue

    I put one of the cheaper bluetooth AMI adaptors in my MY2011 S6. Doesnt have all the functions of the proper AMI and only allows BT streaming but less than 1/10th of the price of the genine AMI cable set.

    Retrofits done & left overs!

    Audi S6 V10 - Finally - Few questions!

    Presume you have a 2G MMI system? In which case the reverse camera works differenly to my 3G version.

    Can you sync temp settings?

    You can also go into the A/C settings on the MMI and select the option to synchronise both sides. This will remain until you turn it off

    Headlight differences and dismantling?

    Hi all, The headlights on my 2010 S6 have some nasty scratches in them along the top edge. As S6 lamps are pretty hard to come by second hand, I was wondering if I can use the lamps off a pre facelift A6 instead? I have bi-xenon with range control/levelling but not adaptive/cornering. The only...

    Recommendation for Component Removal

    I did call Fast Fit in Leeds last week but they are the ones who told me that it can only be done on new modules. Would be interested to see if they give you the same answer though as the guy on the phone was fairly unknowledgable/unhelpful. I tried Cartech as their google reviews were very...

    Recommendation for Component Removal

    I am looking for some recommendation for somewhere to remove the CP from my DAB radio unit and Convenience Module in my Facelift S6. I had booked into Cartech UK in Bradford on Friday. Arrived at the pre-arranged time to find the place all locked up and no answer on either of their phone...

    Reserve parking sensors, no sound but options in mmi.

    Put it in reverse and put your ear to each sensor. You should be able to hear them clicking. Most likely you have one or more dead sensors rather than the module

    MMI3G - Display radio text by default

    Does any one know of a way that the MMI screen can display the radio text screen by default when listening to FM/DAB. Currently to see the info you have to go radio>tuning>text which then disappears and goes back to the station list when you change station. Not sure if there is a setting in...
