Replying to: halofan (Dec 27, 2005 1:38 pm) Thanks for the above info. Very helpful. Dealer ran the codes and determined the "sporadic" fault was in the right rear seat belt tensioner. They cleared the fault and reset it. "OK" now -- air bag light stays off. They said that if the light goes on again they will order and replace the part. As the right rear seat is precisely where my first ever rear passenger sat, I have to assume that at the very least, they've identified the right spot. You mentioned that your center rear seat unit was repeatedly defective and now the car is being replaced. What was the problem, in your opinion, and what explanations did Audi have? How many times did you have it repaired before they finally acknowledged your "lemon"?

Replying to: legendman (Dec 30, 2005 2:36 pm) My problem is with the center seat belt receptacle. I have had the entire buckle and assembly replaced, they took apart the center console to check a wire harness that connected the seat belt sensor to the airbag control unit. Mine would stay fixed for about 1,500 miles before someone would get back in the center seat and the light would come on again. I have had my car at the dealer for about 25 days spanning 4 different trips in the 9 months I have owned the car. I am a 1st time Audi owner, and I get the feeling that Audi isn't quite sure how to fix this problem as of yet. I was told that my problem is more than likely a "software" problem and that a "fix" is in the works, but that they wanted to resolve my problem now. They told me that they intended to make me a "happy" owner and to do what was right and I commend them for it. I think it's going to take a few more trips and down time in order for Audi to step in. They are AWARE of the problem believe me, I'm sure they don't want to get in the habit of buying back cars regularly. I have been very impressed in my dealings with Audi over the issue and I will report back when I have the new car. Good Luck to you in the mean time. |

I have a 2000 A6 with 81,000 miles. Recently, the turn signals started acting up. At first, they stopped working whenever you began making a slight turn (like a lane change). Then, they stopped working altogether. I replaced the front and rear bulbs (one was burned out, the other contacts looked worn and it was such a pain to get out the ones in front, I decided to replace them all). Just to be safe, I also replaced the fuse. At first that seemed to have fixed the problem, but two days later, they stopped working again. Any suggestions? I'm afraid I might have a short, possibly in the steering column or turn signal switch.

Replying to: marleybarr (Jan 06, 2006 2:31 pm) Everything seems to be working fine now. I didn't need the second switch you mentioned, thankfully. I'll add it to my long list of annoying Audi problems. |

My turn signals just stopped working....Emergency flasher and all bulbs are fine. Sometimes it clicks once and then goes no further. Fuse for turn signal relay also OK. Any suggestions or thoughts...needless to say, it's Saturday and no one is ever in Audi Service on Saturday. Thanks.........

My 2000 A6 has moisture in one of the headlight covers. It doesn't seem to effect the headlights, it just doesn't look clear when the lights are off. Any solutions? |
