A: Acura bose is COMPLETELY different than Audi bose. Though they are both junk, the acura doesnt need a complete rewire and replacement. The nig reason is that a am almost 100% positive that EVERYTHING would need to be replaced, all speakers included. The fact of the matter is that if from the factory they are 1 ohm speakers, then you cant use them and gotta replace it, and if youre asking you probably dont know how to do it and youre gonna screw up your 40,000 dollar luxury car in some way.
Q: How to find the Gas button on a 02 Audi A6?
I just bought a 02 Audi A6 3.0 yesterday and I cannot find where to push the gas button. Usually on the side there is a lever for the gas and the trunk, but I cannot find the gas one. Can someone please help and tell me where it is so I can finally put some gas in my car.
A: Just press the unlock button on your key fob. There is no separate unlock button for the fuel door. It is locked by a piston connected to a motor. You can also unlock it by pressing the button to unlock your car doors from inside the car, or turning the key in the trunk lock. That will also unlock or lock all 4 doors and set the alarm.
And if that piston motor ever dies, there is a red latch cord you can pull inside the cubby hole in the truck on the right side. You just have to remove that cover and reach in there.
Q: Why are some 2003 Audi A6's Have dual exhaust on different sides while some have them next to each other?
I was looking at 2003 audi a6's some have an exhaust on each side while some have two exhausts together like the bmw 3 series.
A: I believe the last poster is closest to the correct answer.
It is all dependant on the engine size. A6 have three possible engine sizes from that year. A standard 6-cyl (3.0) a turbo 6 (2.7T) and a V-8 (4.2). The 6-cylindar engine has a single exhaust manifold to a single exhaust pipe system. This means the two tips on one side of the car.
The twin-turbo and the v-8 have segregated manifolds for each side of the engine block, hence for the turbo and the v-8, dual exhaust tips.

Q: How can I reset radio after changin battery for audi a6 2000?
I just changed my battery for my audi a6 year2000 but I cannot reset the radio. I have the code.
A: Make sure you have the radio code found inside your model information packet inside your glovebox...it will be on the radio and communications pamphlet. It is in safe-mode right now, so press and hold the FM button and the scan button until 1000, or whatever number is stored in your safe mode, appears. Enter your code by selecting the pre-set radio station buttons until the corresponding number appears; press and hold the FM button and scan button again and your radio should be reset.

Q: How do I fix the brake lights on my Audi A6?
I have an Audi A6 and I have been getting a warning light that says to check my "brake ligthts". My regular brake lights work fine. The row of small brake lights in the rear window have three lights that are out, but all the rest in the row are working.
Is this a fuse problem or do I need to change the three bulbs? If it's the bulbs, how do I change them?
Changing a fuse or a light bulb does NOT require a mechanic!!!!
A: If its just 3 lights its not a fuse. If it the LED lights I think you have to replace the hole unit. If its not just start taking things apart till you get to the lights, Im not sure of the specifics for the sedan since I have an avant, but for me there are just a couple screws and then everything thing else pops off with plastic tabs, be careful not to break any.
Q: how can i turn on the radio in a 1999 audi a6 ?
Hi, i just bought a 99 audi A6, and i couldnt get the radio to work. does could anybody help me out?
A: the 4 digit security code is usually on a sticker that is placed on the rear trunk lid (next to the vehicle ID sticker)....try the code "1111" because some dealers, if they buy it while the radio is locked, will have it changed to 1111....

Q: Can i add a turbo or supercharger to an automatic a6 audi?
i have a automatic 99 audi a6 2.8 quattro, was just wondering if its possible to add a turbo or supercharger and if so which one and which brands?
A: Sure you can. That is if you have the money. Check out paxton's website for super chargers and applications/kits. I prefer a super charged engine over a turbo because I like the quicker off the line performance I.E. no turbo lag.
Your AWD quattro should make a nice huffer!
Q: What should I look out for when buying an YEAR 2000 Audi A6 Avant quattro 2.5tdi , ?
I´m buying a year 2000-2002 audi A6 2.5tdi quattro privately. What is the most likely problem servicing wise its likely to need money spent on. I heard the timing belt costs a fortune to change .
A: cam belts arent too expensive, but they should've been changed every 50k miles or so, despite some dealers saying 60-70k. Also check the windscreen wipers work ok, as this is another common, and expensive, thing that can go wrong. Get one with full service history too.
Q: How much oil does a new model Audi A6 Use?
An employee is saying that his company car ( Audi A6 Estate ) is using 0.5 litres of oil per 600 miles.
I do not think this is true.
Is it?
Thanks
A: Many manufacturers quote 1 litre per 1,000 miles as acceptable in a new car. Your employee's car is less than this.
VW Group products (including Audis) are notorious for using oil when new. The amount of oil used generally reduces once 10,000 miles is passed.
