20 Most Recent 1997 Audi A6 - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Sounds like either a motor mount is out or got play in the drivetrain. pop the hood and while in park push and pull the car to see how much movement you get with the engine. if it is a motor mount youll see alot of movement if it is tight and still hear a bang it is in the drivetrain.

IE.... axles/transmission.

traction control has nothing to do with the egr valve.

likely you have a bad wheel speed sensor somewhere.

Have the ABS scanned with a scan tool at your dealer
perhaps.

Hope this helps.

Your crank sensor is bad. That is also what causes a no start like you are experiencing. The crank sensor takes the place of a distributor and tells the computer what position the engine or crank is at so it knows where to send the spark. You are going to need to have the crank sensor replaced.

resistance in the connectors between sensor or igniton module corosion ,loose connector or wire ,posibly the sesor or ign module itself requires further testing

windows, interior lights work via central locking control unit. [situated under side panel in luggage compartment] check fuses for c/locking and check for water ingress at control unit.

Hi...these are the trouble code definitions for your make, model and year.

They point to an egr, o2 sensor and fuel injection system problem.

Print this page, take it to a service facility that is familiar with Audi vehicles( preferably an local Audi dealer with a service facility).

Show them this print out and ask for a estimate on repair.

Being that you already have the codes, you should be a step ahead being that they don't need to hook it up..but..they may do it anyway to see if there are more than have cropped up or perhaps gone away since you obtained these.

At any rate, my feeling is should save yourself alot of money by being able to point them in the right direction right off the hop.

Should you need help finding a dealer /service directory, go to www.audi.com and follow the link at the bottom of the page.

Hope this is of assistance to you.

Happy Motoring.

First thing to check would be coolant level, and bring up to proper level if low. Has this been done?

Hi there..
You say the water is coming out of the header tank bottle and the geuge stays the same OK so tell me ...how far do you have to go before the water comes out of bottle.
2, Has the thernostat been removed or replaced latley.
3,HOW HOT DOES THE RADIATOR GET WHEN CHECKING TOP AND BOTTOM OF RADIATOR AS IF ONLY THE BOTTOM GETS HOT AND THE TOP STAYS COOL THEN ITS THE THERMOSTAT OR THE WATER PUMP or if both are good then it could be something like a gasket ..
So let me know the answers to all the above ASAP Ron
THE MORE INFORMATION THE BETTER

Replace it!
