Top 20 1999 Audi A6 Questions & Answers

I recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. It would'nt move forward or reverse, engine was good both solenoids for forward and reverse worked, but still couldn't diagnose the problem. I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and now it works perfect! covers wiring, codes, diagrams, torque specs, PCV, everything got it from www.reliable-store.com

The first thing to do is have the Airbag system scanned for fault codes. The code will point you to the problem. Have you had any front end damage repaired recently? If so check the wiring and/or the impact sensor. If no codes are found, replace the clock spring under the steering wheel, following all appropriate safety instructions.

You could have something wrong with the computer causing the error message on the scanner. Do this connect scanner and turn key to run don't start vehicle. See if this give you error or code. The backfire is caused by gas getting into exhaust system. You could have a wheel locked up causing the abs light to come on.

Could try disconnecting battery for a few minutes.

And the codes were...?
The ESP gets input from a few sensors - ABS wheel sensors, yaw sensors, MAF...
If the 2.4 has electronic throttle (it should), then there shouldn't be any form of actuation in the footwell, so can't help you with that one.

The lock shift solenoid that works withe break pedal has gone bad... it's located next to or In front of the shifter.. on some vehicles. You have a key slot that you can use another key or small screw driver in it to unlock the shifter. Just replace that and it should be fine..

I had a car that did exactly the same., replaced the distributor cap and all leads, sprayed thee cap with a waterproofer...problem solved. See link below for a more thourough explanation

before considering a transmission there are some simple and cheap things to do first run the fault codes to find faulty servo/ solenoids pressure test the transmission to find internal faults change oil and clean the filter adjust bands and clutch packs while the pan is off check replace park pawl if you do some or all of these suggestions then you will get a good idea of the condition of the transmission so as to make an informed decision remember the more quotes you get the better and only deal with an accredited transmission shop that offers a long warranty for the replacement box or work done.

U HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE TRIM AT THE DRIVERS SIDE TO LOCATE THE RELAY CARRIER.......LET ME KNOW IF U NEED MORE INFO..

What are the problems exactly. You are being to generic.

You may have a wiring harness problem there, Kjell. Do the door locks work from each individual door? Many vehicles have two fuse boxes - one under the hood and another inside the car somewhere - typically on one side or the other of the dash. Consult your manual. If you don't have one, get one. you need it now, and you will inevitably need it later.

WHAT IS THE RELAY U ARE LOOKING FOR?

Timing. The sound you hear when it falters is air coming out of the intake and that indicates the timing is off. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dave_fb2c45146b845cea

Instructions on How to Turn Off The Check Engine Light: Step 1. If not using a scan tool, locate your vehicle's battery. Disconnect the 12v positive cable (red wire) from battery terminal (+). Leave it disconnect for 5 minutes. While the battery is disconnected, cycle the ignition switch to ON position 3 times. If using a scan tool to turn off the check engine light, follow manufacturers directions. You will need to find your vehicle's OBD II Data Link Connecter (DLC) and connect your scan tool to the DLC, then follow the steps indicated on your scan tool or scan tool manual. Step 2. Insure ignition switch is OFF. Reconnect the battery 12v positive cable (red wire) to battery terminal (+). Step 3. Cycle ignition switch to ON position and wait 1 minute, then start your vehicle. Check Engine Light or Service Engine Soon Light should be reset and turned OFF. Step 4. Drive your vehicle for one week under normal driving conditions. During this period the emissions computer is gathering data and re-learning your vehicle's emissions components and systems. The emissions computer OBDII (on-board diagnostics) system must complete at least one drive cycle (in some cases two or three). A drive cycle is a sequence of internal tests which the emissions computer runs while your vehicle is being driven. This insures all emissions systems are functioning properly. Proper "readiness flags" are set as the computer completes it's cycles. Test cycles are unique to a vehicle. Certain cycles run under very strict parameters, and may require extended driving time to trigger on. Cycle data and readiness flag information is available through your dealership's service department. The data vary widely.
