Replying to: toadhollow (Aug 27, 2008 5:15 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 7:13 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.

HI everyone, I have a 1999 Audi A6 and the power windows and sunroof don't work.Is that function is controlled by the main window switch?And is there another fuse for the lights because I tried replacing a fuse and they still didn't work. Thanks |

Replying to: rnordeen (Sep 20, 2008 7:16 am) I'm sure the Audi dealer's parts counter has a diagram of all the parts on microfiche or on CD, which they might even print out for you since you're going to have to buy the parts from them anyway. Obviously something came loose in the steering column--either the lock, the cam, or the lock solenoid. |

Replying to: ipod_nano (Jul 23, 2008 8:53 pm) 2. It can. You using the button to start or the key? button start seems a bit flaky on ours. 3. I'd probably change oil yourself, just for peace of mind. I use Mobil 1 or Castrol (both meet VW/Audi specs - just verify the label). Can't recall if it is 5w30 or 0w40 that I used. 4. You don't have to remove the underside if you hvae the right tools. Filter is on TOP of the engine under that black cover just behind the grey header cover. I'm NOT talking about the black cover that houses the filter/brake reservoir, etc. If you have a fluid extractor, you can suck it out that way via the dipstick. I do that while the A6 is on wheel ramps and it forces oil to the back of the pan. Once I get all I can, I THEN remove the underside cover (silver button screws turn 90 degrees and come right out - easy), open the drain plug and get the remaining fluid. Be careful getting the oil filter out from the top (need 36mm socket IIRC). If you're not careful, you'll get oil all over the engine as you tip it. Plastic baggies are a HUGE help here. Hope that answers your questions. I can say after owning this A6 that we will NOT buy another. Even spark plugs (from the dealer) are 19.00 each. I got some NGK's for our A6 online for 8.00 each, which is still high, but a LOT easier to stomach. I'm putting on new pads tomorrow, but they're not dealer. They are aftermarket EBC pads (Redstuff) and they're ceramic. I'd recommend a Bentley manual if you plan on doing more maintenance yourself. Knowing how to take the stuff apart will be 95% of your problem. If you figure out how to get to the cabin filter, let me know!  -Paul
