Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 21, 2009 7:05 am) The car is 2001 A6 Quattro 2.7T. I can start the car and everything runs fine including locking/security system, brake switch / transmission interlocks etc. I simply can not remove the ignition key. Is this simply a mechanical problem in the ignition lock or something more sinister like a software problem in a steering column control module. How many reasons could Audi engineers have for not releasing the key? |

While we're talking about 2005 A6's, are there any TSB's that address transmission hesitation? I'd also be curious about the headlight TSB. My wife's A6 has given us that message a couple of times, though things continue to work fine. -Paul |

Does anyone know if the HID headlights can be adjusted at all? I've got an '04 A6 Quattro and the light on the driver's side seems to have a slighly lower aim than the passenger side light. Can the adjustment be made, if so...how??? Mike |

So my A6 wagon has been developing a small coolant leak over the last few weeks. It has just been draining the overflow tank and the car has been running fine. I tried a bottle of Bars leak stop and that worked, but only for a few hundred miles. So yesterday I decided to dig into and fix it. I thought it might be a metal tube that runs across the front of the engine. So I rerouted it around the metal tube and filled it up. Still have the leak. So after further investigation, the fluid is coming from behind the belts and pulleys and I can not see exactly where. Now my dad thought it could be the water pump, but we had a hard time finding that too. So could someone point me in the right direction to find this leak? Could you tell me what I would find behind the belts and pulleys? Where is the water pump? Anybody got a parts diagram they can send me? The car has been running fine at normal temperature, so I think the block is fine as of right now, but the leak did get a lot worse as I was driving home yesterday (of course on the same day I was gonna fix it). In advance, Thanks for the responses! I need them.
