A6 wipers
How do you know motor is fine, you jumped a wire across from battery to motor? if what you say is correct then it has to be the wiper control switch, if when u jump wire across and motor turns but not wipers the the attachment from motor to wiper assembly is stripped, disassemble and find if it's shaft or plate that's stripped happens when people don't clean windows off from snow ice and just turn wipers on.
How to remove an ECU from an Audi multitronic
1. Jack the car up on Axel stands/ramps or if you have access to a pitit will make life a little easier.
2. You need to remove the splash guard underneath the car so you can seethe back of the gear box.
3. Drain the gear box of oil which will require a special tool which youcan get for £10 from Draper Expert 1/2 Square Drive Drain Plug Key For VW Or Audi63476 Draper Hdpk1.
4. Remove the electronic cable that connects onto the ECU that protrudesout the back of the back of the gear box.
5. The back of the gearbox has 12 torques holding the cover in place.Once you have removed most of them you will need to remove the rear enginemount to get at the last torque bolt at the top of the gear box.
6. Support the gear box with a trolley jack so you can lower the gearboxto get at the last few torques.
7. The rear engine mount can be slid towards the back of the car so youcan get at the back of the gear box. There is a couple of other bolts that youwill need to remove that hold the ECU cable in place.
8. Once you have all the torques that hold the gearbox in place thecover can be slid off.
9. Once the cover is removed be careful not to bend the metal gasket asit can be used again as long as it's not damaged (Audi would probably changethis along with the ECU seal).
10. Once the cover is off you can now see the ECU which is held in placeby 3 torques or Star bolts.
11. After the 3 torques have been removed you can then slide the ECU offbut be careful not to bend or tilt it as you remove it from the gearbox as ithas guide rails made of plastic which can break easily.

How do you change front brake pads on an Audi A6
How to change front brake pads & rotors (brake disc) on 2006 Audi A6:
Atention!!!
Don't disconnect any brake line from caliper!
Don't disconnect any ABS sensor!
For change front brake pads you must raise vehicle, remove wheels, extract the retaining spring of the caliper, and remove the caliper as follow:
1. Do not disconnect the brake hose from the caliper, and do not allow the caliper to hang by the brake hose!
2. Remove top and bottom caps (on back side of the caliper) for access to guide pins, then unbolt and remove them from the brake carrier. Remove the caliper.
3. Now you must thoroughly clean the brake calipers (free of grease).
4. Remove outer brake pad from brake carrier.
5. Pull inner brake pad out of brake caliper piston.
6. Remove brake carrier from wheel bearing housing (two ribbed bolts). 125 Nm
7. Remove brake disc from wheel hub.
8. Install brake carrier on wheel bearing housing. Tightening torque for two ribbed bolts = 125 Nm.
9. Check up the brake fluid level on the reservor, and emptying if neccessary!
10. Push piston back into brake caliper housing.
11. Install inner brake pad (with expanding spring) in brake caliper piston. (Arrow marked on pad - if exist, must point in direction of brake disc rotation when vehicle is moving forward).
12. Install outer brake pad into brake carrier.
13. Bolt brake caliper housing to brake carrier using two guide pins. Tightening torque is 25 Nm.
14. Install both caps.
15. Insert retaining spring into brake caliper housing. Important: Depress the brake pedal firmly several times while the car is stationary so that the brake pads adjust to their normal operating positions!!! Check brake fluid level and top up if neccessary!!!

My 2007 a6 s line stereo has lost all but one speaker in the pasenger door. any help please
If multiple units in the same area are misbehaving - I would look to what they have in common. They may be on separate circuits(fuses) but they all rely on a good earth - which is quite often communal. You can prove/discount this with a patch lead from a good earth (battery -) to a good earth point in the door or one of the units not working.
Hope this helps.

Audi 2.4 v6 coolant leak from behind engine bay,
no, just seals, get under it and see where it's coming from, some models have hoses back there, go to place with lift and ask them if they can put it on lift to see where leak is coming from, or use car ramps "$50.00" new and drive up on them and see for your self...
