Hi,
I picked up a new to me 2010 A6 Avant 2.0 TDIe S Line on Friday and just trying to sort some issues with it.
It didn't come with much history so trying to get my head around it currently and will be giving it a full service next week
Silly question but on the C6 Facelift Avant where actually are the reverse lights please?
I've got new bulb holders on order as the reverse lights show as out on the dash as does the rear left indicator although the indicators do work.
I stripped the outers down and the bulb holders were showing some corrosion (the left looked burned at the indicator bulb holder) so ordered the two parts from Audi which should come tomorrow.
I'd tried contact cleaner and a wire brush to clean up what I could but still no joy.
It just dawned on me I'm focussing on the outer units but from reading posts some say only one side works in reverse but not what bit it's in.
Is reverse in the outers or inners in UK C6 facelift cars? I've seen forum posts saying some cars have reverse on one side, others just on one so any help in the right direction appreciated thank you.
Has anyone got a picture of what should be on when it's in reverse please just so I can ensure I'm focussing on the right unit?
The car didn't have any bulbs in the P21W holders on either side so I assumed they were reverse, but realised I may have assumed wrong I've even got the multimeter out to test later but if it's a different bulb I'll go pick some up from Halfords before stripping it all down
I did manage to get hold of a handbook in MyAudi and that says W16W bulbs for reverse - I haven't checked the inners yet.
Also someone has been tinkering with VCDS and the MMI was set for RoW - is that for some known coding hack?
The MMI was already up to date with K0260 but was using a nav disk from 2010.
I've got the maps up to date now but the MU software is 0144 which may still be out of date - has anyone else done the updates on the MMI 3G in this era and can say what MU software you have?
Thanks in advance
