    C6 3.0 TDi Quattro Parking Brake

    What I forgot to mention was there is no warning message on the dash. Also, the parking brake switch light illuminates when the switch is pulled up, but when returned back to its normal position, with the actual EPB on, it is not illuminated. Strange!

    A6 3.0TDi Auto Electronic Parking Brake

    Hi All My 2005 C6 Auto has developed a intermittant fault where as I release the parking brake, the warning comes on the dash, and beeps like crazy. Initially, it would go if I turned off engine, and locked the car, and restarted the whole process. However the last couple days, it is happening...

    Trashed my Bumper

    Quick update. Been a good day to a certain extent. Took it to a couple body shops nearby, and all said it was not repairable, but needed replacement. Further investigation revealed damage to the bumper mounts on the car, which really mean it is out of the scope of me fixing. My excess is...

    Auto Windscreen Wipers

    Yeah I know that one - but I don't think it is that - I am talking about the sensitivity of the sensor that seems to be quite poor! On the most sensitive setting it is still quite poor. Maybe they are all like that!

    Steering Noise

    Hi Gavin Checked the fluid, and it is toppers so no issues there. In fact the noise is hardly noticeable any more. Seems very strange - it was not particularly cold at the weekend. So no idea. All seems ok though.

    Steering Noise

    Bit of a strange new noise cropped up today. Steering wheel left to right, and right to left, and a faint whiney noise is audible, which I can only describe as being similar to a scalextric motor. Anyone know what this is, or experienced it? Sorry about it being a dodgy description!!

    Hi TonyThe passenger door unlocks all doors, however locking is restricted to its own door. In short, both doors unlock both doors (central locking) with the key, howver locking only locks that particular door (no central locking).It would surprise me that both door latches are unserviceable...
