Default Something tells me, that the C4 platform had the same codes. Stoney, can you confirm it.

Default Seem quite different...

First, on the A6, the DTCs are 5 digit numbers, and even if I ignore the decimal point placement, they don' t correspond to that table.

Second, the channels that I previously accessed on my A6 <i>dual</i> climate control did not match a table I found in the Audiworld tech section for codes on the <i>single</i> CC for the 1st gen A4. I'm still looking for a table of channels in the manual....

BTW, what does C4 refer to? Is that the 1st gen A4? That site seems to focus on the 12v engine, rather than a platform.

Default Ok, makes sense.

C4 is the prev. generation platform for A6. Current is C5. The A4 is B* and A8 is D* platforms.

Default I finally accessed the codes..

in the same way as was described for older dual climate controls - by pushing "recirculation" and "UP" arrow together, and listing the channels by "+" and "c" (at this, it showed "c" in the left side display and the channel number in the right side display) and calling up information from a particular channel by pushing "recirculation" button. The info displayed looks like this - a one-digit number in the left-side display (mostly 0, 1 or 2) and a two-digit number in the right-side display. What could be these?

In particular, I am trying to find out why the radiator cooling electric fan never works, though it is very hot here, and why the A/C does not cool properly when the car does not move with its engine on? They have no scan tools for Audi here, in Armenia.

Wow. I'd be worried about that fan not working! Sorry I can't help more.

Default Attn Everyone: Audi diagnostics via A/C

Folks,

If any of you have the descriptions of diagnostic cannels (88 channels!!!) and related trouble codes accessible via Climate Control unit for Audi A6 1998-2002, please share. These are different from those used in older Audi A/Cs that could dsiplay 61 channel. I am surpsised at note being able to locate this great feature on Web.

Default Re: Attn Everyone: Audi diagnostics via A/C

My '98 A6 just started showing the same symptoms. I ran the VAG-COM tool and it shows two DTC's.

01841 - Potentiometer/Actuator for Temperature Flap: Left (G220)
30-00 - Open or Short to B+
00792 - A/C Pressure Switch (F129)
31-10 - Open or Short to Ground - Intermittent

I haven't received my Bentley CD yet so will have to wait and see if this is something that I can take care of or if I need to take it in.
