Hi guys,
haven't been on here too much recently, just here n there as the Jag is now my daily driver.
The A6 is still in the family and driven daily by the wife ( god help the A6 )
Anyhow for info purposes, just about 2 weeks or so ago I had an engine oil & filter change done as well as replacing the air and fuel filter. Around last week she was in Audi Technik for her MOT as well
as rear parking sensors and a drivers side wheel bearing, all ok so far.
As I said, my wife now drives the car and I either get told nothing and its only weeks later when I finally give up and wash / clean the car AGAIN that I find dings / issues etc. To be fair this time I was told that
"there's a wee light thingy on the dash Jim"......SLAPHEAD ICON!!!
I check and find that the glowplug light is flashing AND there is an ESP fault message displayed on the DIS.
Asking for info from my wife ( may as well as the neighbours cat ) and finally get to where she replies, yes, it feels a little underpowered / sluggish but just thought it was me!
Just for reference purposes - I also believe we may have a weak or failing battery. It was sluggish some months ago, but got through the winter with no issues at all, just something I noticed on the rare times I drive her. I'm wondering / thinking that could play a part ( clutching at straws ) as I know how susceptible these cars can be to weakened batteries. just FYI
Anyhow, I'm ploughing through many many similar / related type threads both here and through google, looking for possible answers and have many to choose from.
I certainly have ideas and look to the forum Guru collective for any help / suggestions on this ASAP
I'll be calling Audi Technik tomorrow with a view to looking at getting her booked in for checks as soon as possible.
If anyone can help with either reading / diagnosing the issues, like Dumbo says......I'm all ears
Thanks in advance guys
Best
Jim
