My A6 has been sitting in my yard unused for 2 years. I started it yesterday, it runs OK but a little rough. I can't get the gears shift to get out of park. I pressed on the brake and still can't get it out of park. It feels locked and there is no give to the lever. I wonder if there is an override someplace because the battery was dead for so long and the new battery may have kicked in some protector???? All the dealers or repair shops answer the same way. """" Bring the car in"""""". Any ideas before the repairshop gets it?

Replying to: toadhollow (Aug 27, 2008 6:15 pm)  Might be the Shift Lock Solenoid. I don't know if you want to tackle this without a book. the solenoid looks in a photo like a small white thing under the shifter/console when you remove it. You might consult your owner's manual for the location of a small hole to temporarily insert a screwdriver or key to release the shift lever. Most cars have this somewhere. 5 Speed Automatic 01V Shift Lock Solenoid Switch, removing and installing Removing * Remove shift mechanism. * Remove stop buffer from cable lever. * Shift to Tiptronic position and remove frame. * Move selector lever to "2". * Disengage lever for lock cable by lifting it from its mounting and remove from mounting bracket. * Press out bolt for locking pawl using drift. * Remove shift lock solenoid switch together with locking pawl upward. Installing * Move selector lever to "2". * Install shift lock solenoid switch together with locking pawl from above into mounting bracket. * Carefully drive in bolt for locking pawl. * Check engagement of locking pawl in "P" and "N" of selector lever using a screwdriver. * Insert locking pawl into mounting bracket and lock it by feel in both mountings. * Check locking function of locking pawl: Locking pawl must engage in shift lever position "P" and must lock the selector lever. * Install frame on mounting bracket (ribbed side must face up) and install stop buffer in cable lever. * Install shift mechanism.

Replying to: 0506colix (Sep 05, 2008 8:13 pm) BTW - I have a 2001 2.7T w/6-speed. 102,000 miles so far (bought new). The adjustment for the lumbar support doesn't adjust. Otherwise no problems. |

| thank you kirby2010 that makes alot of sense I appreciate your answer. I have another problem, my control panel indicates that the right rear door is open but it is close, i open the door and close it but it still indicates that it is opened, when im driving the interior lights flash and the rear door appear in the panel. Im wondering where the door sensor is at, and if it is expensive to fix . THANK YOU | |
My wife's A6 didn't make it home from the gym the other day. Turn the key, absolutely nothing. We live in Northern Minnesota where there are not a lot of import dealers or mechanics, but my regular mechanic determined that the part in the steering column that tells the ignition that the car is in gear is broken. Part of it even fell out when he took the steering column apart. I just need to know what this part is called, where I can find it, how much it costs, and how difficult it would be for me or my mechanic to replace. Thanks.
