2001 Audi A6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
2001 a6 2.7t quattro start , but will not continue to run?
One likely possibility why the engine loses power and stalls could be because of the air compression rate going from the engine air filter and the engine, which is the AIR MASS METER HOSE located between the air filter box and the engine, which could be cracked. This happens when a careless mechanic changes the engine air filter without untightening the ring that holds the hose to the air filter box, causing the hose to be twisted to the point of breakage. It is not immediately apparent, but checking its condition would be the first thing to do.

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.

if the radio is the original one you can get the original code from audi for a small fee. if its been replaced you can send it in for decoding on an internet site that do decoding for a fee. or you could be lucky and its written on the unit, but you will need to remove it to find out.

My stere is in completely safe mode
You need to take the radio out and write down the serial number. Then call you Audi dealer and provide him with the serial number and the VIN number of the car. Some dealer provide the radio code look up for free; other charge for the service. The code is written on a perforated card inside your operator manual.

Abs light is and breaks seem to be locked
You may have exceeded your "throw", braking shoe/ pad distance, and locked up one wheel or more. Calipers and shoe pistons have tolerances on distance they can go, and if a disk or drum has exceeded its usefulness and worn past the tolerances allowed, a cylinder or caliper may lock up after pushing out to far.

ABS light is on and breaks seem to be locked
I just ran into a similar problem with my vehicle. ABS sensor wires commonly fall into places they should and get rubbed down or fall right off so that could be part of the problem and as far as brakes locking up, the brake caliper has 2 (I believe) pistons that if not lubed during last brake service COULD be causing your problem. I was estimated $1200 at my local Midas I was able to buy brand new rotors, both left and right rear calipers and pads for $320 roughly and it took me 3 hours to do myself with the help of a socket set. Brakes are a relatively easy task to tackle. Good Luck

No power from fuse to feul pump
Hi William:
First confirm that the fuse is good.
Then confirm (use voltmeter) that there is power at that fuse.
Then use the meter to check for power at the fuel pump.
Odds are that you either have a broken wire or a bad connection, possibly where the wire connects to the fuel pump.
Confirm that the ircuit is grounded.
Hope this helps
