On the 2005 Audi A6 3.2 (6 cylinder) the battery is stored in the right rear trunk, under the trunk floor lid. Note: To jump start the car, you simply raise the engine hood, and look in the upper left corner of the engine compartment, just slightly below the plastic cover. There you will see connections that lead to the battery and are specifically designed for jumping (or charging) the battery. You will need to lift up gently on a reddish brown cover which is protecting the positive terminal. The negative terminal (black) is not covered.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to jump the battery directly. The battery could explode and you could get sulfuric acid on your face and in your eyes, which would be bad. Very bad.

Of course you can. The battery is located in the engine bay at the very top near the windshield. You need to remove the plastic cover to access.

    This is not true with the 3.2 model (6 cylinder engine). It may be true for the 8 cylinder model. Having said that, it is likely that Audi has provided separate jumping/charging terminals separate from the battery. This is for your safety. Read the owners manual to review the proper procedure. If you don't have access to the manual, call an Audi dealer and talk to the service department and get directions from a service adviser or the service manager -- otherwise, a mechanic or the shop foreman.

SOURCE: how do i change time on clock on 2005 audi a6 quattro s line

I think I can help you. I just did this on mine yesterday because my clock runs a few minutes fast each month. It was somewhere bizarre - sorry I'm not near the car to be more clear. I think I picked Sound, Settings and for some odd reason, it was there, rather than in Car, Settings. NOOO - it was in Tuning - click the AM/FM button, then Settings. I've only had it for a few months, but you'd think I'd have that one figured out due to re-setting it.

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

How do I jump start a 2006 audi a6 4.2 quatro s line

place the red lead (positive terminal) from the jumper battery to the positive terminal of the audi battery. connect the negative lead from the jumper battery to the engine of the audi ( select a metal part that the clamp will fit on) Connecting to the negative terminal of the audi battery runs the risk of a power surge that may damage the ECM of the audi. If jumping from another vehicle run the jumper engine at around 2000rpms before trying to start the audi

Audi allroad wont start

Get it back to whomever did the job. Or maybe take it to someone who knows what they're doing. Turbo line is obviously leaking. If it's not cranking even with a jump you may have seized he engine. 2.7's are not cheap!

Jumped started Audi 2001 TT, due to dead battery, now radio dead

You will need to enter the anti theft radio lock code. I would check the manual for the operation. On my VW it was on a sticker in the truck. Also check with an Audi dealer for exact location.
