Remove the RH seat, rear seat bottom, and plastic trim holding the right side carpet down, unbolt the seatbelt from the floor, and the carpet will pull up easily. Transmission computer is in a plastic box under the carpet there.
The cabin air filter is placed on the right bottom side of the dash panel - passenger side, for 2006 Audi A6. Remove the carpet and behind the plastic cover is the cabin filter. When installing new filter see for the correct position - air flow is indicated by arrow. See pictures below:
On right hand drive vehicles there is a 'convenience' ECU under the front passenger side carpet (I think it swaps and is under the right hand side in a left hand drive) This ECU operates and controls all the systems you have described, they suffer water damage very easily. This will be the cause of your problems and unfortunately will need to be replaced and coded. The ECU was put in this place to keep it well out of the way of any contamination such as water, then the cars ended up leaking water straight on to it! The carpet in the front can be lifted up from the edge by the door with a few trims removed. You probably had quite a lot of water in there because water runs to the back of the car, by the time its visible in the back a lot of water has entered. Let me know if you want anymore imformation.
It sounds like a plugged drain line from the air conditioner. Most cars now run in the a/c mode whenever u turn on the climate control (even when heat is on). The passenger side front is where it would be wet, and the carpet and carpet pad act like a sponge and will soak up the water. Let me know how u make out.
does the footwell of passenger side get wet? the hose disconnects under the carpet there, pull carpet up and simple to fix, if not then hose will have disconnected in ducting on right near back of the engine.
If the A6 layout for the modules is the same as my A4, the lock pump is in the rear corner of the car, on the passenger side. In the trunk, pull up the carpeting behind the passenger rear wheel, and tucked down in there is the pump assembly. They're known to go bad and it's a pretty likely cause for your problem, provided your fuses are not blown.
