20 Most Recent 2003 Audi A6 - Page 6 Questions & Answers

the easiest way to find out EXACTLY whats wrong is to ask an AUDI DEALER for a diagnostic check for your car,they have the fault codes and the book that tells them what parts need replacing,if any.the glow plugs are in no way connected to the warning triangle/abs,so you have at least two problems......the cost of diagnostics is about $50,cheap if you buy/fit any parts required.
UNLESS YOU HAVE A LIST OF ALL THE FAULT CODES AND WHAT THEY MEAN.......you could fit bits that are not needed.

My 2006 has Audi recall on ignition coils which may be the prob.

Hope this help.

It maybe the information display is not in standard mode by some kind of diagnostic mode.

If you have raiod security code, disconnect the battery negative terminal for 30 mins and reconnect it to see if it can rest it.

Check for air leak on vacuum hoses, and exhaust plus test health of O2 sensors b4 doing the CAT b/c CAT are the most expensive.

Only Audi parts can provide this CD there are no other sources

Look at this site, it has detailed instructions for various Audi radios (assuming you have the code)

EOBD type: P3041 = VAG type 5-digit: 19497
Fault location: CAN data bus, instrumentation - implausible ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature sensor) signal
Probable cause: Wiring, matching resistor in ECM (Engine Control Module)

it looks like a spark plug and usually has a single purple wire running to it should be two on this model

I am having the exact same problem. The new sensor under the rear seat did not solve the issue. Does anyone have a solution?

the only audi/vw/seat/skoda car,(all part of the vw group,)worth buying is a NEW one,unless you are capable of rebuilding the front suspension of ALL these makes of cars.if you have a relative who can work on these cars, then great,as do i.THAT IS WHY, IN EUROPE, THEY ONLY HAVE A 60,000 MILE WARRANTY.COS AFTER THAT,THEY KNOW ITS GONNA COST THE CUSTOMER A FORTUNE,AND WHO MAKES THE PARTS?????
QUESTION ???why is it dealers will only take back part exchanges less than 5yrs old/50k.??????AUDI POLICY.....

I believe that symbol is Engine Oil if im not mistaken, might want to look at your oil level or take it in to a repair facility promptly

you need the hands of a five year old to get to it, but it is in there.....

Unfortunately you probably have a blown headgasket. You should not drive the car like this as it will further damage the engine. The parts and labor for this job are not cheap. You may want to phone around and get some quotes. I would ask for prices on the headgasket, themostat, timing belt and waterpump. All these things should be done as part of the job.

Hope this helps,

Typcally caused by one of the front oxygen sensors or a bad ground associated with these sensors.Replace both front sensors with direct fit type NOT universal, because there may be a cracked wire and the universal sensor does not contain the complete wire harness. Direct fits, are about $20 more than universal fit type.

The O2 sensors have integrated heating elements that bring them up to the proper operating temperature. Code P0431 indicates that the O2 sensor on your driver side catalytic converter is not reaching the proper operating range. The O2 sensors are usually in the $150 range online.

change the flasher fuse. Also, check to see if any of your bulbs are burnt out. On most cars, this will cause the signals not to work properly.
