SOURCE: 2005 a6 jump starting

I found the battery myself. All of the responses were incorrect as to where the battery was located. Everyone said it was up front but in my car, it is in the trunk. I got the problem fixed myself.

SOURCE: my 2000 a6 audi will not automatically start and

Do you mean a full charge 12.6 volts or full of water but a battery a needs to produce current cold cranking and cranking amps to spin the the starter and start the engine. It can have the correct voltage but insufficent current to start the engine

SOURCE: Audi a6 bonnet won't open

the only way I know how to do this is with the front bumper removed & as follows:
Here's the deal:
If you can remove the AC condenser you will have more room to maneuver. You will remove the grill with the logo.

use a ceiling rod (rod for ceiling grid tiles) or a long straightened wire coat hanger with a small hook on one end and fish from the drivers side of the latch it can take up to & about 90 minutes, you will be able to catch the release and pop the hood (Bonnet). It's about the equivalent of picking a lock for the first time

wrap the cable with some electrical tape and shove it into its holder above the radiator and fan. then land the cable in its carrier release and bind it with a tiny zip-tie.

There is no easy way to do this and you will have to be patient and diligent, but as soon as you catch it the hood will pop up instantly.

Btw, prop open a door as you may set off the anti-theft alarm!!.

The A6 is one of the hardest cars to break into, and this is just to get the hood open! If you find yourself in a position like me, (tired of mechanics and poor work) take your time and it will be worth it.


It may also help to check out this link as most Audi's have the exact same locking mechanism for the hood:

Aston Martin Rapide battery has died and can't open the doors

When the battery goes flat on a rapide the windows are up. The doors are frameless so the windows are located in the seals in the door aperture. You cannot open the doors and you cannot open the boot. Look through the front grille towards the radiator with a torch and you will see the bonnet release cable outer sheath. If you pull the outer sheath it will put enough tension on the cable to release the bonnet catch. With the bonnet open you can charge the battery. Negative clip on the alternator casing and positive clip on the central charging stud.

My audi a6 auto has gone completely dead,got in drivers door and tried the key in the ignition but the key is now stuck and the car is still dead.cannot get to the battery as it is locked in the boot.what...

Hi

When you say the key is stuck, can you check that the steering wheel is centre, and that the wheels are also centre as most likely if you try and turn the steering whel full left or full right while trying to remove the key it should come out, they often lock in the ignition because the front wheels are not straight.

Is the stering lock on??
Regards
Dan

p.s, you do not need to get to the batery to boost the car, pop the bonnet and you can connect a jump pack or jump leads to the car from there. atach one to the car body "black" earth that is to the car body and the other to the live prong, there should be one on this model it has a picture of a plus sign on it. attach the red live to that. failing that you can attach it to the starter motor if you are really stuck.

My 1996 Audi A6 Quattro wont start. It won't even turn over. It makes a couple of clicking noises but nothing. What could this be?

either a dead battery or bad wire connections from battery to starter first check and clean battery connections if still not starting try jumping battery if it still click than you have bad connection at starter

Audi A6 2006 problem with battery

Yes
First thing is to test the battery and this is how Turn on head lights, if dull leave on to see how long the stay on for. Next turn lights off put battery on charge for 6 hrs .Turn on lights again if still dull either battery or charger no good
If lights bright try to start and when starter trys to turn engine over the lights go dim THEN battery is no good.
Then get a jump start from another battery and put pos term on both batterys first, then earth lead(BLACK) on last then start if starts ok remove the BLACK lead and turn on head lights if goes bright ALTERNATORs ok so replace battery ....
