Audi A6 C5 year 2000
Following on from this thread.
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10023 My sisters partner has decided he no longer wants the car following the issues he had, so all being well on Sunday I'll be picking this car up to sort out and then hopefully sell on. He has said I can have the car for scrap value as that is where the car was going before I fixed it last weekend. Only headache is I need to tax and insure it as the car is currently SORN and uninsured. Looking forward to having a play with what is in effect a disposable car.

They're great cars, I bought my daughter a 1.9 diesel a few years ago and it hasn't missed a beat, returns over 50mpg and is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven

Wouldn't mind if this were the diesel version, but its the 2.4 V6 Petrol and has 175K miles on the clock. MOT till April next year, cambelt and top end of the engine renewed recently at Hitchin Audi after the cambelt failed and loads of receipts.
Needs some work, the DIS LCD screen needs replacing and the bodywork is a little rough.

Well I've just driven the car from Lincolnshire to Hertfordshire, and its quiet apparent there are issues.
1) The wheel alignment is out, it pulls left slightly and the straight ahead position on the steering is out. 2) The drivers window got stuck trying to close it, but seems ok now. 3) Loads of cosmetic issues. Only other weird thing, it does not have a conventional torque converter auto box but has one of those CVT Boxes. The box has a slight judder at low RPM, but once on the move its fine. However it does seem odd when you plant your foot on the floor, the revs rise to 4K and stay there as the speed increases at quiet a pace. Box will take some getting used to whilst I work out if the car is worth sorting. The low RPM judder from the box is the most concerning issue, could be lack of use perhaps as the car has only done 4000 miles over the recent MOTs.

Today I ripped out the tacky afermarket headunit and set about reinstalling the factory "Concert" headunit.
However does not work, as I need the code. The code card is missing from the manual, because Whetstone Audi replaced the headunit in 2004 and I did not place the code on the receipt. Looks like the reason the aftermarket unit sounded dreadful is the car seems to have an upgraded sound system, the OEM wiring has a bucket load of wires on it 90% not used by the aftermarket wiring adapter. Anyone know where I can get the code, or will Audi have to provide it?.

Have you tried the original code that was given to the first stereo in the car manny? Just wondering if Audi thought it was logical to set the new one at the time to the same code? If not then you'll need to ask Audi I suspect

Code is hard coded on the unit from factory, it cant be changed, so it will be different to the original.
Audi dealers will provide the code, but there is some variation in the experience. If they know/trust you, you might persuade them to provide the code over the phone from the serial number FOC. Worst case, they'll want you to bring the car in and want to charge you a small amount for the privilege. Im fairly sure the handbooks at the time suggested the code should be provided FOC, so given my recent experience, if a dealer tried to charge me I'd be on the blower to Audi customer services to straighten it out...

I've sent an email to Whetstone Audi, in the meantime I've started looking to see if any adapters are available so I can hookup an older headunit I have if the code is not heading my way.
I am quiet reluctant to spend to much money on the car at this point as it may end up in the crusher due to the gearbox issue. I may get the transmission oil changed which may or may not fix it. I've driven it several hundred miles now and the fault is not getting any better or worse.

Missed a call from Whetstone Audi this evening, will call them tomorrow, hopefully they have the code or they'll say "yes sir you can have the code for £...." or worse "Sorry we have no records of the code"
