Audi A6 CD player errors
My Audi A6 is quite old now and the CD player is playing up more and
more. We often get ERR1 and ERR3 displayed on the player in the car and one or all CDs will not play. Usually ejecting the cassette and replacing it sorts the problem out but increasingly this solution fails to work. I doubt I can afford to buy anything new. Is there anything I can do to help this? It's the 6 CD changer type where the CDs are in the boot/trunk. -- (\__/) M. (='.'=) Due to the amount of spam posted via googlegroups and (")_(") their inaction to the problem. I am blocking some articles posted from there. If you wish your postings to be seen by everyone you will need use a different method of posting. |

Maybe this manual will be of some help: http://www.amazon.com/Audi-A6-Electr...2858946&sr=8-2 i suspect you'd get more useful responses if you post at least year of the car, better yet more specifics about your exact model as i suspect the electrical for us of a V8 4.2 is somewhat different from that for euro 1.8t (yes, they actually DID put a sub 2.0 liter engine into the home market A6 at some point) |

I expect the manual link you posted is for US models only which are different in many respects. There does not seem to be any decent manuals available for UK models! >(yes, they actually DID put a sub 2.0 liter engine into the home >market A6 at some point) Most of the UK models have tiny engines! -- (\__/) M.

See http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware...0Compatibility http://www.summationtechnology.com/d...lity-chart.htm though some of that might be old and biased I doubt even TDK stamps their own CD-R media these days. Most likely it's the us army style subcontracting to the lowest bidder type of thing now. |
