How to enter hidden menu in Climatronic Audi A6 C5 (diagnostic mode, DTC) 

1 the nly haha that was funny true

This fourm post has a list of them: forums.quattroworld.com/a6100/msgs/3334.phtml

Do you have code for fuel level?

Most likely there's something wrong in your AC system that the control unit is detecting. It shuts down the compressor to avoid damaging it. If you scan your car with diagnostic tool you should find fault code in the AC module that should point you into right direction.

lkkop sorry no clue, i thought it should be easy to find all the codes on the internet, however so far i have found nothing except coolant temperature 34

I strongly dislike these kinds of videos with no words to explain anything at. You are at this video because you need to know something. Lol!

These codes are for NES SuperMario Bros.

The title of the video says it shows how to get in to the diagnostic menu. The video shows you how to get in to the diagnostic menu. That seems pretty helpful to me.

yes they do, watch it again

Totally agree...no idea what is being done and no idea why it's being done, what is the purpose etc?

"C" "00" - that's Channel no 00. When there's no "C" on the left one, it means that you are currently watching channel valie.

You can do it with MMI, I believe. No tools required.

I thought 34 is coolant because it never exceeds 87 degrees celsius

I can confirm that Channel 34 is coolant temp so cool …. Lol

Mine just comes up 0 on both sides on channel 34 I have a 99 audi a6 I’m tryna see the coolant temp but not sure why it’s showing 0s

Alejandro Ruiz I'm not sure on other Audi's as I'm unfamiliar with them, but this particular gen (c5) always has the ac compressor on continuously, unless you turn the air off . There's no ac button, so if you put the cars temp down to low, and do not hear any noise of the compressor being on, then that's your problem

Simply turn the temperature display down to the temp you want. The car will use the AC or the heat to reach any temp you pick. Also you can turn off the AC compressor in a C5 A6. Press the "Econ" button the one in the middle left and regardless of where the temp is set the AC won't run.

Marjan Mane Obradovic This is a diagnostic menu. You can read values from several sensors of the Climatronic system which is useful while trouble-shooting faulty AC.

mr-fix do you have a list what channel is what? It wil be verry helpfull and i wil be verry thankfull😃😃

Google wants to know your location

Code 34 is your coolant temperature

@@tulaconalas :)))

Check sunroof water drains.

Check the wind washer pipes that run through to the back

Check the air con drain plug :) take out glove box an lift up the floor

Under the battery is a plug. It’s prob clogged with leaves or something and water is coming through passenger door. Happened to mine

I had the same problem on Q7 2007 and it was the sun roof drain plugs. It even damaged my Aplifier. Got it fixed after watching a you tube video. Apparently, it's a known issue on Audi & VW

+Jesse Smith start with checking fuses, then connect with diagnostic interface and scan your car for faults.

Thank you, I change the fuses and it just blow air and all buttons are lit up and won't turn off. I will hook it up later.

+suma Latha just press fan speed (plus or minus) button and you'll be in manual mode.

thanks, but I tried this many times, no result, is there any other steps I should follow?

+suma Latha is it possible that the AUTo button is stuck in pressed position?

+mr-fix yes your right, but ECON button is stuck in pressed position, so it's not allowed to press other buttons. thanks

Каналы - нужно искать расшифровку под свою машину. Штука полезная можно прочитать что видит клима по датяикам - не клинят ли заслонки ну и как сказано видно температуру наружного воздуха состояние кондея - температурные датчики в салоне - скорость обороты двигателя - работу догревателя ОЖ если он есть тоже видно - вобщем ползеная штука в диагностике климы да и периодчиески посмотреть как и что тоже не мешает. На моей 60 с чем то параметров часть каналов диагностические и коды тоже свои - короче распечатка страниц на 15 катается в машине - помогла до зимы обнаружить на дизеле отвал свечей в догревателе ОЖ на входе в печку - глючный датчик температуры перед радиатором - видно забитый фильтр салонный - утечку фреона тоже так же поймал - сразу на первом же канале диагностика. Ищущий да найдет - где то на ауди форуме выкладывали по многим машинам

I myself get OCD whenever the zones are not set to the same temperature.

Well, it was not intendent for A4.

+Vinny Buffone when having trouble with air vent flaps, AC compressor or instrument cluster readouts, you can check in this hidden menu values from ECU (same as with OBD2 diagnostic interface). Thanks to that you can verify if e.g. vehicle speed sensor is faulty or your speedometer is broken. Same with tachometer, temperature display... Also if you AC compressor is not working you can check why (low oil, temperature too high, pressure too high or too low...). As a diagnostic tool this menu can be very useful once you know how to use it.

Oh ok. I'll just use my Ross tech. Good idea though! Thanks
