UPDATE: For those who are watching this subject.
 
Changed transmission oil - no difference.
 
Did a diagnostic check but got only readings of "no fault codes", with the exception of "brake light switch - implausible signal". Still trying to work through the electrical diagram to get a better understanding of the wiring. The brake light switch does connect to the transmission control module and the purpose of this switch - to our understanding, is to allow the gear shift lever to move in and out of park. This was not a problem - the brake light switch seems to work properly.
 
Is it possible the brake light switch controls more than the gear shift within the control module?
 
During the oil change process, all but one of the solenoids in the valve body were physically removed and checked. The one we did not check was not removed due to the location of the solenoid.
 
During the diagnostic process, all of the pressure switch solenoids and shift solenoids seem to be working as we hear an audible "click" on and off as it went through each of the solenoids.
 
At this point we are considering one of three possibilities. 1) A bad speed sensor within the system. 2) A bad wire or ground connection or 3) A bad transmission control module.
 
We are steering towards the bad transmission control module, since we worked through the diagnostic process, the readout gave no fault codes other than the "bad brake light switch".
 
Has anyone come across any other possibility?
 
Again - we will keep you posted.

Hello,
 
My husband just bought a 2005 A6. He filled up the gas tank 2 days ago and it still shows the needle as empty and it says he has 0 miles left in the tank. The tank is full. Has anyone ever had this problem? Thanks!

It is a well known problem on the 05 A6. The dealer fixed mine a couple of years ago. If I recall it was a software issue. Send me a PM with your e-mail address referencing the gas gauge problem and I will send you a copy of the TSB.

Had the same problem. Was intertwined with the security system failure. The lock on the driver's side "fell apart" from the inside, even though it was never used manually, and caused the brake warning light to go on, along with the windows not staying up, the headlights flashing, and the alarm to go off whenever the car was locked. A $2000.00 repair if I didn't have the extended warranty while owning the vehicle. After almost 9 years of Audi past experience, I warn you that the Audi is one of the most complicated and difficult vehicles to repair. The Audi is the type of vehicle which should be leased (under full warranty) and then returned. Ownership is not advised, atleast not without warranty and extended warranty.
