After a quick scan and pinpointing the nature of the fault, we had discovered that two of the wires in the drivers door trim had perished.

Where many garages and even the main dealer would book this vehicle for hours, we discovered the fault as well as a few other minor issues within half an hour.

Audi A6, SRS Service reset

We traveled to Greenford, West London to see the owner of this tidy A6 S line. His garage had carried out a service however the service light on the dashboard requires Audi dealer specific tools in order to reset the light.

Once we carried out the SRS reset, we also enabled Needle Sweep, lit pointers on ignition, Alarm chirp and mirror dipping when the car is in reserve gear (to ensure the wheels are not kerbed when parking up!)
