Audi A6 Year 2007: Car pull to the right

hi
There is TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system)
they are inside every tyre. Which tell the car about your tyre pressure. If they have failed or you have recently changed tyres where sensors are not placed properly then light will come on and most likely car will stop, due to safety issue.

Thanks

tire is on wrong take it and turn it around or you have the wrong spare tire

1. Check to ensure the tyre pressures in both front tires are identical and also that the pressures in both the rear tyres are identical. (You should be running over 32 psi in the tires in that vehicle.) This will not correct the problem but do it anyway .

2. Have the brakes checked on all 4 wheels to ensure there is no binding of the brake pads on brake rotors(discs) when the brake pedal is released.
If , for example, the front brake pads on one side are not fully releasing their grip on the brake rotor when you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the car will tend to drift off centre when driving and especially when you lift off the power.

3. There are suspension and steering issues to check but I cannot offer comment without inspecting the car.

take it back they have not set it up correctly. its alway best to do wheel alignment on new tyres, defects in worn tyres affect the alignment.

For 2007 Audi A6 depending on the engine type, there are two placements for cabin air filters:
1. The cabin air filters are placed on the right bottom side of the central console - passenger side, for 2007 Audi A6 Avant. Remove the carpet and behind the plastic cover are cabin filters. When installing new filters see for the correct position - air flow is indicated by an arrow. See pictures below:

2. For the second placement, besides you need to remove the glove box for access and replace cabin air filters.
Check first your car situation. If you will give me your e-mail address, I will send you photos with cabin filters replacement for 2007 Audi A6, because the www.fixya.com website is limited to 150 kb traffic.

It's a Tyres Monitoring Pressure (TMP) system ECU (Electronic Control Unit) temporary faulty. Run for few miles above 30 mph, and all the temporary faults of Tyres Monitoring Pressure (TMP) system ECU will dissappear themselves. Also you can access & erase the TMP system ECU for all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) memored, if you will connect a VW / Audi diagnostic equipment to the data link connector of the car.

Check your tyres or wheels for damage.
If no damage evident it may be just tyre noise.
Many 'block' tread type tyres are prone to generate road noise.

1. It's hard to say without looking at the vehicle (and test driving it) but more than likely the front end is badly out of alignment. ( If the car has been in a significant front end accident and badly repaired then this could also be a source of the problem as the alignment may not be capable of being properly set).

2. The first thing to do is take the car to a specialist suspension and steering shop and have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted to factory specs. Normally this is not expensive for a straight forward alignment but price depends on the shop. A good suspension shop will also identify if there are any wear problems with the steering or suspension that need attention

3. Older drivers sometimes frequently hit kerbs when parking their cars. This will throw out the front wheel alignment every time (and damage tyres) so it must always be avoided. Scrubbed.scuffed tyre side walls are an indication of this as well as scratched wheel rim edges.

4. Some drivers never check tyre pressures. Low tyre pressures will cause much greater tyre wear as there is more friction. (It will also make steering heavier, place undue stress on the steering components, cause the car to handle badly and result in much higher fuel consumption).
The lady needs to ensure her car has at least 32 lbs pressure in both front tyres and at least 30lbs in the rear (which carries less weight). The pressures must be set with COLD tyres. Manufacturer optimum spec tyre pressures are usually set for comfort. These can be safely exceeded by a few pounds. It is far safer (and more economical) to run slightly higher pressures than a setting that is too low. (A good tyre will run all day with 38-40 pounds pressure and 36-38 is quite safe).

5. Worn out shock absorbers will also contribute to abnormal tyre wear. 70000 miles of average driving will see out a set of shocks. (Personally I would not leave them that long as the factory shocks are generally of average quality on this type of car)..

That's the best I can do Brad without seeing the car so I hope this helps some. Hopefully a good wheel alignment will fix the problem but make sure the tyre pressures are kept up as well. If the shocks are worn out they will also need to be replaced if the car is to be roadworthy.

Two things to do .. switch tires on the front to find out if its a tire problem first.. if this dont fix it you need camber and caster checked by a front end shop.. also make sure tire pressure is same in both tires ok .. and thanks jerry

I had a new sensor fitted recently at a tyre centre, but after driving home one of the rear tyres disappeared off the display! I had them reset the whole system only to find it happened again soon afterwards. Just looked at the fuse panel (right hand side on UK cars, at end of dashboard), no 'reset' switch. However, I did pull out a few fuses to see if that worked. By pure luck, there is a fuse with a strange name (can't remember it now) that is like disconnecting the battery completely (it's a 10A fuse located 3rd down from the top). Plug it back in and hey presto, no more flat tyre warning light, and centre screen shows all 4 tyres correctly. Genius!!
