These bulbs grow dimmer by over 20% over time, therefore we recommend changing both bulbs on your A6 Quattro at the same time, even if only one bulb is burnt out - this will allow both DRL bulbs to have the same intensity and prevent the old DRL bulb from appearing dimmer than the new one.

The video above shows you how to change the daytime running lights in your 2006 A6 Quattro. Since the daytime running lights are on whenever you are driving your A6 Quattro, they are often the first bulbs to burn out.

In the event that an issue has caused a warning light to come on, the mechanic will be able to clear the trouble code associated with the light using a reader/scanner.Daytime running lights, sometimes referred to as DRLs or DTRs, are lights that switch on automatically when your 2006 Audi A6 Quattro is turned on and in drive. In all cases, the mechanic will start the vehicle to make sure that all of the new components are working properly. They will then replace the injectors and test them to make sure they are functioning properly. The mechanic should also take this opportunity to replace the fuel filter if it is not a part of the fuel pump. If the mechanic believe the problem is dirty or failing fuel injectors, he or she will inspect the injectors to check for any signs of damage or leakage. The mechanic will then ensure the new throttle positioning sensor is working properly and transmitting the correct information to the vehicle’s computer. In between removing the old sensor and replacing the new one, the mechanic should take the opportunity to clean the throttle body. If it is not, the mechanic will remove the throttle positioning sensor and the wiring and replace them. If the mechanic suspects the throttle position sensor, he or she will test the throttle position sensor and it’s wiring to see if it is functioning properly. If the fuel tank itself it beginning to show signs of age, it may be convenient to change the pump and tank at the same time. If the pump has indeed failed, the mechanic will replace it. If the mechanic believes the problem is the fuel pump, he or she will remove the fuel tank if necessary to inspect the pump.
The mechanic should then remove the mass airflow sensor and replace it with a new one if necessary. The mechanic will also ensure that the sensor is wired correctly and that no damage has been done to the wire harness. If the mechanic believes that the mass airflow sensor has gone bad or is failing, he or she will first examine the sensor for any superficial damage.
Once the mechanic gets this information they can begin to fix any potential issues.
In addition to reading trouble codes, he or she should also be able to get readings of oxygen/fuel intake to make sure those numbers are where they should be. Dirty fuel injectors may cause the engine to run lean which will in turn, cause hesitation when accelerating.Ī mechanic will first plug into your vehicle’s computer using a code reader/scanner to better identify what the exact issue is. Fuel injectors may become dirty over time and not be able to provide as much fuel to the cylinder as is needed. The computer may then not provide the engine with the correct amount of air while accelerating, causing a hesitation sensation.ĭirty/failing fuel injectors: Fuel injectors spray fuel in a fine mist into the cylinder where it is mixed with air and ignited by a spark plug. If the throttle position sensor is not working properly, it may be sending incorrect information to the vehicle’s computer.
The computer is then able to adjust the fuel/air mixture going to the engine so that is stays at an appropriate level. Throttle position sensor: A throttle position sensor tells the vehicle’s computer how far the throttle is open and how hard the accelerator is being pressed. A vehicle that hesitates while accelerating or while driving up a hill may have a weak fuel pump. If a fuel pump cannot provide the correct pressure, fuel may have difficulty making it to the engine. A vehicle with a failing mass airflow sensor may also stall soon after starting.įuel Pump: The fuel pump in most modern vehicles sits inside the fuel tank and pumps fuel up to the engine. When a mass airflow sensor begins to fail, it will typically generate an error code or “Check Engine light.” This warning may be accompanied by hesitation while accelerating, or while driving up a hill. Mass Airflow Sensor: The mass airflow sensor measures how much air is entering the engine and relays this information to the vehicle’s computer so that the right amount of fuel can be delivered from the fuel injectors.
