Hi folks. Been the owner of a 2004 A6 c6 for a month now. 3.0tdi quattro. Have had an parking brake malfunction several times where it seized on and refuses to release. Unplugged the module in the boot and plugged back in at the end of my journey. Decided to just put the gearbox in ‘P’
A couple of days ago the same brake malfunction showed again while driving this time. Decision was made that it needs sorted. Got home, got out car and locked it only to find the engine still running away quite happily :(
Had to remove the engine management fuse too kill the engine only to find the climate control still blowing away. Now had to pull the battery negative to avoid it draining down. If everything’s back in place it’s starts fine (albeit with a number of faults now) but still refuses to turn off with the ignition.
Has anyone encountered anything similar and what was the outcome? Booked into garage this weekend but I hope my introduction to Audi ownership isn’t a short one.
