try taking off the line where it meets the efi housing and running the pump until the burping stops

You're low on oil - the Audi dipstick isn't the most accurate thing out there. Add a quart and see what happens.

I've been having this problem also. I took it to the dealer and they had to load a new update for the mmi system. Luckily mine is covered under warranty.

The other solution is to turn the car off and disconect the car battery for 10 minutes-and then the mmi will reset itself. The problem, however, is that the issue will probably happen again.

Just take it to Audi. No booking in, just turn up and it was done in 30 minutes. Cost me £10! Amazed!!

Yes it does have the overboost option, so what it does its gives you extra revs for more speed but only for a limited time. To activate the overboost you need to put the pedal to the floor and thats when the overboost kicks in. Make sure you dont have the A/C on as its drains power.

The switch is not set up that way. you can rewrite the coding in the convenience control module to do this maybe.

They usually have igniters that will start to give out on the light bulbs. But if they did not find any faults then it would require a long diagnosis time.

Take it to the dealer.

was the fuel system open for any reason?

What engine is in your A4.  Normaly if the oil is in between the hash marks on the dip stick thats good,  If above or below hash marks this is bad.  To properly check oil level start vehicle up let it run for 30 sec.   Shut vehicle off and let it sit for aprrox 2min then check the level.

Remove the tires, Remove the calaper bolts, (small heads on them 12mm or so) Remove calaper, Pads are setting in a holder. Lube new pads with litheum grease and place in holder. (look at old pads, one or both may have small metel tab on one end) If the new pads have the tab, put that pad where the old pad with the tab was. (ie. tab to the inside) Press pistion in with a 'C' clamp. If it won't go in easly, it may screw in. If the parking brake cable is hooked to the calaper, it probly screws in. Use large pliers to screw in calaper piston. Place calaper over pads and install bolts (lube bolts) Rember to pump brakes befor driving . to get a solid peddle.

In some cases, the spare is just a key to get you in the vehicle in case you lock yourself out. The newer model vehicles have a "Chip" in the key and it is "Seen" by the lock. This helps to prevent theft. If you have a key made, you have to go to a dealer to get the info on how to program the new key to get it to start.

Good Luck and hope this helps.

Do you have a button on the knob? Didn't you try to press it first and then to move the knob to "drive" position?

Audi dealer solved it - the side of the bulkhead on the passengers door has a removable panel to allow work access and it was this that caused the problem.I have since purchased an A5 which has a rattle in the B column on the drivers side and it has been back to garage (twice) - It would seem that just because you are paranoid it does not mean that they are not out to get you.

One of the four sensors have failed. Only solution is to replace the faulty one.

First push the setup button on the MMI control, and push the MMI button that corresponds to the word "settings" on the screen, and pick "time," push the master control to enter that mode, then turn the knob to change the time. Be sure to back out of the sequence properly or the clock reverts to the previous setting.

what was slipping , not told clutch. ? no M/t box here. brakes dead? no. automatic with TC , sure. so fluid leaks there are 1 of 3 kinds ! engine oil (shades of brown)??

If the lights work, why did you buy a new battery that you didn't need? A car like an Audi A6 can't be fixed by 'guessing'. It is what I call the 'Let's try replacing this' method of car repair. Modern cars need electronic diagnosis using the OBD2 port that is provided for that purpose. You need an auto electrician, his pro grade scan tool computer will show where the problem is. Did you check fuses and relays with your digital multimeter? Also, when you disconnect the battery, the anti-theft system needs resetting. https://www.google.com/search?q=audi+a6+reset+security+system https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..
