Trying To Clear Every Check Light On My High Mileage Audi A6 Allroad 

18:28 oh, how well I know this - there is ALWAYS sth that brakes - ideally at 9 P.M. and you cannot start your car to get to the parts store to get the part you\ve just broken. Luckilly I can use my bike and the parts store is only 40 minutes (by bike) away. And then you need to get back. By bike. And then repair the car... unless you want to keep cycling. Well sometimes repairing your car by yourself can keep you in a pretty good shape :)

@@kris856 that’s why i have backup car now hahha. But you are right.

E

Its getting there! Definitely deserves more subs

Are you the Snooker player Nigel Bond?

@@SuperBackhere He is Bond, Nigel Bond.

Agreed. The expletives made me laugh

Nigel Bond knows only one language, and... he is laughing.

It happens sometimes even on my A6, usually doing some braking solves the problem..

@@db7sib7m You have to remove the fuel pump, then cut the plug from the sensor and solder it. Over time, the plug stops conducting electricity and hence this problem. I did it to mine A6 and its fine for 2 years!

@@Xayanix indeed. Common issue. Just like the dynamic headlights.

I did the exact same haha

If the stock bolts are steel and you replace them with new steel ones. It will most likely not matter.

@@alexstromberg7696 Yes, but these were from aluminium

I had a BMW E36 325tds touring. I can honestly tell you these Audi is much better. 👍

@@antonioercolino6087 There is a uge gap between the e36 and e46 châssis. The e46 is way heavier and comfier. And holy hell what a cluster fuck of an engine, i thought bmws were hard to work on but this thing is on another level...

It all depends on personal p reference's but a6 c6 3.0tdi is fun too drive. Or in other words it drives much better than it look 😉

@@antonioercolino6087 in the 90s the BMW Diesel couldn't compete with the Audi ones. I think everyone in this time bought a VW Turbodiesel when he compared them at a test ride. But with the e46 Diesel BMW made their homework and they are strong active powerful Diesels. Have an e91 320d and i'm totally Happy with it. Powerful, just needs 5,0l Diesel with automatic transmission. No Problems with 250.000km on it. Lots of space in the engine bay.

Not just slightly concerned. They could stop holding in less than a year

You have clearly never worked on cars...if you don't use steel bolts what do you use?

@@whitemonkey7932 my dear, you clearly have never met me so don’t assume.

@@vloors1981 So what bolts do uou use?...Aluminium? Steel bolts have been used for decades in aluminium castings...in automive applications. I'm interested also to hear your opinion on thread repair inserts in aluminium.

@@whitemonkey7932 don’t understand, you don’t know me, why would you be interested in my opinion? Surely there are people you know whom you can contact and ask?

I saw the motors on the rear callipers, I have not used that functionality of VCDS, I am going to give that a shot, Thank you! I know you advice wasn't intended for me, Cheers!

You can also just push quick connect fittings with wires in them to the female plug on the e-brake motor and connect them straight to the battery. If the motor doesnt move when you connect the battery, reverse the wires and run it until it until the motor stops turning automatically. Then just push the pistons in by hand, do your thing and run the same steps in reverse. It is important to drive the e-brake motor back in after the maintenance. Otherwise the car might get confused since it thinks that the e-brake is engaged while it is not. Goes without saying, that you should have your battery negative disconnected while doing this. Just did the rear brakes on my 2011 A4 like this. Worked wonders without having to have VCDS on hand.

@@SamuliKostamo That makes a lot of sense, just power the motor independently and listen for the pitch change as it bottoms out or tops out the piston. Then make sure that the module "knows" which position it has been parked in.

It can be servis with every diagnostik, i use Delphi it works. Without service mode you have risk of failing brake calipers.

Thibaut, isnt it?

broken cable for rear pads common thing

@@7777Android as far as I know, A6 C6 model does not have sensor on rear pads, at least with cable

@@novak4142 ye ye you are right, my mistake

haha exactly bro, my passat need some repair too and this is the motivation that I need to do it

Got one too. That old passat always works. Even slammed to the ground LOL

My 1999 Avant with an AEB has no such luck

Well its a B5 with a 1.9tdi. The aren't legendary for no reason😉

@@y4nnickschmitt Mine had the Terra Cotta Brown interior so, the interior did not hold up as well with UV light. But other than that it was pretty good. Moved to a 1993 4.2L V8 to replace it

my A4 B5 AFN also fixes itself :D
