Audi A6 4G C7 – Windshield Spray Jets Replacement

Audi A6 4G C7 – Windshield Spray Jets Replacement

Most of the pre-facelift A6 4G cars come with a 3-stream jets for the windshield. Personally, I like the spray jets much more because they wet the windshield much better and evenly. Parts Required There's an OEM Audi kit for the jets that you can order, or you can use the VW part number - 5M0955986C9B9. They are absolutelly equal - just get the cheaper one. 4F Owners can use them too but they need a small plastic convertor part - 4F0955431. Wiring and Assembly Open the hood and unplug the cables for the heating carefully. There's a clip that you need to pop-out. Just pay attention it's really easy to do it but hard to describe it, don't force them,…

Audi A6 4G C7 – Motion Sensor Trunk Release (Kick Open the Trunk)

Audi A6 4G C7 – Motion Sensor Trunk Release (Kick Open the Trunk)

Opening the trunk with a kick under the trunk can be very handy especially when your hands are full. Originally, Audi released this for the USA marketet mostly but the sensors on 2012 models weren't working properly or at all as a matter of fact. They've stopped offering them in 2013 and then in 2014 started offering the feature again with better, improved module. Make sure, when retrofitting this to get your parts from a 2014 cars or you will fit a ridiculously bad working motion sensor. Note, that this will work only if you already have power-opening of your trunk working. Parts Required Here are the parts you need plus a cable from your motion sensor module to the…

A6 4F DVD Navigation Disk Read Error Solution

A6 4F DVD Navigation Disk Read Error Solution

Many people complain from their DVDs being unable to read home-written navigations. The problem is with the DVD reader itself and most specifically the lense. Factory-written disks are of much better quality than ANY of the home DVD writers thus in many cases the original disk the car came with (Europa 2007 for example) works but the new ones - don't. The solution is replacing the lens of the reader. WARNING: This is a delicate procedure and if you're unsure you can do it - get someone who can to do it for you.

Audi A6 4F Cabin (Polen) Filter Replacement

Audi A6 4F Cabin (Polen) Filter Replacement

Regularly changinf your Cabin/Polen filter is very important for the work of your car, air conditioning system and for your health. They are very easy to replace if you know how to do it. My advise is not to buy any aftermarket filter because they aren't nearly as good as the original ones with charcoal. If you have allergies - don't even think about a filter without it :) The original ones are with number 4F0 819 439 C - that's a pack of two filters which have the best price - something like EUR50 for both. Personally, I prefer to remove the glove box so I can operate more freely. On the left side you will see a tap,…

A6 4F Automatic Dimming Mirror Retrofit

A6 4F Automatic Dimming Mirror Retrofit

Adding an automatic dimming mirror to your A6 4F Audi (and other models like A3, A4, A5) is fairly easy. There are two ways to do that. If your car has automatic dimming side mirrors, we recommend that you get the Kufatec harness and follow the instructions that come with it. However, this is not necessary. There are six cables in the harness that command the side mirrors and disable the dimming when you put your car on reverse. The mirror itself, only needs power to operate correctly. This is why, if you don't need this function you can simply cut the unnecessary cables and connect the others to the existing ones that go for your light sensor. On the…
