...f125 switch probably. Thanks for that, very much appreciated. Just been looking back at a few threads and my RS6 has all the symptoms of F125 switch problem....a small sigh of relief until i can find out the codes on Monday. But its certainly looking like it even more so since i just had the GB ...

Hey Guys,

Cheers

Nice 1 thanks for that. I will have a try at the weekend.

Hey Guys, Quick basic question. My satnav has gone a bit dodgy think it might be a loose connection at the back of the unit. So how do i get the Navigation plus unit out....? Im guessing i need some kind of key / keys ? Also what are my options now we don't have TV, can i get a digital adapter or so...

get MRC to rebuild it or get one from Audi and it will last you another 100k easily, if this one has lasted 90k you should be good. The other options of getting an ACE TC and 517 VB would only do you good if you plan on upgrading the power, otherwise the stock one is pretty good, i've just had mine...

Mine is going in for new GB next week, will get all the other bits replaced while the engine is on the bench. Then i will be selling her. 04 90k 2 owners ( me from 10K) DRC replaced by Audi few years ago... no issues since

I got my gearbox done at Unit 20 last month. Great service. Whilst it is in it is worth getting a few other bits and pieces done whilst the engine is out, like the Lambdas, EGRs, oil / water cooler, oil feed pipe to the turbos. Worth getting a health check done whilst you are there to see if anythi...

Thanks everyone,

I chatted with Griz....i have limited choices but i know what i have to do now....so unless someone wants to buy a Red (1 owner "me" from 10k to now) 04 RS6 90k avant n need of a gearbox then its off to Liverpool for me next week...

Hey man, im in Newcastle and i have a RS6 avant 04 with a now ( as of today ) goosed gearbox ( limp mode) other than that its fantastic and i can offer any advice if you want to chat.

That sucks, sorry to hear it. AmD also have someone who reconditions the boxes, they did mine along with a load of other work but I wasn't impressed with how the car was re-assembled. They told me my turbos both needed replacing which was horse <beep>. Their remap was pants. While I was there they ...

Thanks Dom, i will check that out, where do i find the number for Unit 20 please ?

Thanks for the advice, the car is a keeper as its a good one one owner ( me ) so i know where its been and what its done, other than this issue its certainly not a breaker job. do you have any links for ACE or 517 please ?
cheers
