Re: Intermittent ABS/ESP fault

I'll whip the wheel off again and have another look at the connection near the wheel. Will also trace the loom back to the ESP/ABS box and put a test bulb/probe across it it to check if it can carry some current. Had a look on the Bosch service repair website and looks like they can service/exchange...

Intermittent ABS/ESP fault

Has anyone had any problems with an intermittent ESP/ABS fault? VCDS has reported a front right sensor fault - so I've replaced the ABS sensor (with Bosch part number 0 265 007 928). The original sensor tested open circuit on a resistance test. Problem then seemed to be rectified, but then it came b...

Dunno mate maybe I got lucky, but I've definitely got a colour DIS in the instrument cluster and the hard drive based 3G MMI. :?

What exactly do you mean by white DIS? Is this the multi-colour DIS (as opposed to the monochrome red version)? If so, as far as I know all the C6 model RS6's have a colour DIS irrespective of whether you got a pre or post facelift car. Incidentally the same for the B7 RS4 it also has a colour DIS. ...

RE: God dam DRC ..

Think they're made by Showa for Audi.

The second generation set they fitted to the B7 RS4 appeared to fixed the fault on the factory fitted units...as long as they were replaced properly. Mine never had any faults after that.

Pirelli PZero's standard fit from factory.

Seem fine to me. Had the same on the RS4, albeit that was a lighter car. Pretty good grip v durability, though may be tempted to go the Michelin PS2 route, when its time to change over.

Hope those deals are still around. Sepang Blue is definitely my favourite colour for the RS6 Saloon. Are you happy with the car after 1 year of ownership? I couldn't really say on the current level of discounts on RS6's. March last year was a particular low point in the economy and of course car in...

Just wondering - how many people have now had the full headlamp unit replaced under warranty? Did they replace both left and right? Has that completely cured the misting/condensation problem? The replacement grommet/gaskets had no effect for me - probably made things worse actually. I think there's ...

Yep, when I had my RS4 I had to have the trim strip above the rear bumper replaced due to corrosion. It was not covered under warranty (apparently trim is not covered by the corrosion perforation warranty, or whatever its called). It cost me about £50 to have it replaced and fitted.
