I've just bought an 1999 A6 2.8 V6 Q. Avant.

As soon as i got it home many problems started showing up!

1. ABS light on. I replaced both sensors, and cleaned the grooves on the frontshafts. Light still on!

2. On the littlel LCD it shows that the brake pads are worn but to me it still seems like they have lots of meat on them. I've replaced all front control arms and needed to remove the caliper, since then the lcd shows that the pads are worn. Is there any reset button?

3. Front diffirential leak. Any links or pic's to how its done?

4. The LCD Cluster Screen, only shows something whenthe car is cold like in the morning. As soon it warms up it stops showing anything. Wouldi have to replace that too?

5. Rear door windows only open from the drivers door. Do i need to replace the switches?

Thats it for now........

Thanks in advanced.

 

ha
I have same issues on the rear door.
I checked the child safety and it's off and not locked either.

if you have obd II code reader maybe try erasing it through that?

 

What OBDII Scanner do u have? I've bought one on ebay for like 80$ but it can't even read the Abs thing, shows a Lincking Error.

Do u have any software which i could install on a laptop?

 

ahh then maybe vag-com will work?
I got cag-com and I'm waiting calbe to arrive.

and your door issue I just posted same thing try that mycase what it was suggested was prob. I'll see if I can take it apart and clean contacts and see if that will fix or not.

DIS I pulled itout but I gave up opening the whole thing because I wasn't in mood of doing it othernight.
lol

 

I tried it like the other guy said, still didn't work!

Where did u get that vag com?

 

Anyone have any idea about the LCD cluster?

 

Anyone with the same cluster problem?

 

did ya pres the button on bottom of the wiper switch and see if anything show up?

mine I just have pixel loss so hard to see.
which I have to find good amount of time so I can tear gauge a part and see if I can fix it.

 

btw nemiz where you located? westcoast?

 

I'm located in Ontario Barrie, yes east coast.

I tried everything.....The windows won't open. I will check the master window switch, it must be it.

I will do it over the weekend.....tomorrow I'm replacing the diffirential seal.

I will let u know asap about the window thing!!! please also let me know ow ur cluster thing goes. There is this one old man, he told me that the projecting glass needs to be resealed. just like a watch!!
I don't know. I got to deal with this other problems first before the cluster.
