Hi there. I have a similar problem with my Audi A4 B7 2005 Estste.
First of all I have had a message on the clocks trhat my rear fog light is not working, then another day it shown tahat my left rear for and normal light is not working. I have removed the side lights as I couldn't get the tail fog light unit out of the body and left it there, disconnected plugs going to the lights and found raseted connectors pins what causes short and not woprking correctly, only used WD40 sprayed it and worked for a while, now I need to go back again and clen pins properly as I can see that this is the main issue as everything else is working and loosing connection from time to time.
Also found one bulb nearly gone and has been corroded as you have mentioned that woter getting to the light cause corrosion and then loose connection.

SOURCE: 2005 audi A6 intermittent tail light failure

I can't solve this problem, but have had the entire left tail light unit on a 2005 A6 replaced under warranty 5 times in 3 years. Once it was out of warranty, the dealer kept replacing bulbs and charging me $30 each, but it never solved the problem, even for a day (clearly looking to duck their lifetime guarantee on work they did).

Coolant can seep into cylinder from a blown head gasket.

I believe my glow-plug relay is faulty - but I cannot locate it! Can you say where it is? The car is an N-reg Audi A6 Avant Estate 2.5TDi. My Haynes book does not help!

The glow plug relay is placed inside car on the fuse box & relay plate - fascia 2. The glow plug relay is no.# 4. See pictures below:

Fan on Audi A4 Avant not working

'Fraid I can only vouch for the A6, but the A4 is very similar and has many common components. On the A6 it's reasonably easy, as the access is from behind the glovebox on the inside and under a filter next to the battery on the outside. Audi's are notorious for having burnt-out/seized heating blower fans, so your diagnose is probably correct... :(

My audi a 6 avant 98 2 8 quattro The car is full of water inside and around the battery in the engine room ?

Dirt under the battery. Remove the battery-plate(metal) and clean up in the bottom hole. Beacuse of the dirt in the hole the rain water stand still and after a while the water start to find its way to the cabin of the car. You cant fix it in 5 minutes.
