OP, that totally stinks. I highly doubt you can recode the new <used> module. If I were in your shoes, I'd have your original module sent out to be repaired. In the meantime, re-list your used...

OP here! I'm back because... ...my fix did not work for the long-term.

$195 is a great price! I think I'm going to say "screw it" and buy a new housing. It sure feels like a waste of $200...

Yep! I "shocked" mine as well. The problem returned so I pulled the VVT actuators and soaked them in my ultrasonic cleaner. The problem has not returned and it's been months. Great post.

There is a long story here, but the short one is that one of my rear tone rings is busted. I can't get the axle out so I'd like to replace the tone ring in place. I think I can use a long punch to...

I've used both MM and cheap-abs. Great luck with both.

But yeah, spend the $250. I think the best way to use MM is to bid on their eBay auction.

The code will tell you 'exhaust' or 'intake' for the bank in question. Intake is the topside of the head, exhaust is on the side/bottom.

It's a poor design I guess.

I have a theory about why this usually happens on the left side only: the rear fog light.

I just replaced the rotors and pads on my '05 A6. I am now a huge fan of the Zimmermann coated rotors. These don't rust, so the entire assembly just looks really clean behind your wheel.

How I fixed my A6 C6 intermittent tail light brake light issue

It seems to be a pretty common problem here. All of your bulbs are fine, but you'll suddenly get an "bulb out" warning on your dash and that bulb will not work again until you restart the car.

I wouldn't expect Rolls Royce quality for $10, but mine worked just fine. It's nice not to swing the console up and have the contents dump out all over the back seats anymore.

Wow, TWO timing chain services AND the steering column replacement? What a lemon. The next thing you know, your transmission will start slipping.

Has anyone replaced a starter on a 3.2?

I've got a 2005 A6 with the 3.2. This weekend I wasn't getting any cranking at all, until suddenly I did. No codes stored at all. It was also incredibly cold out.

Wow, who ever finds this stuff. I never would've thought that holding the high beam flash + hazards + brake pedal would allow the VAG to connect without a key in the ignition. Black magic.
