Thanks! This was the first video I found with the more complicated air hoses that the 3.0TDI has. Took me about hour and a half, taking my time making sure I don’t break anything. I found out that you can pull the lower side of the air filter box on top of the engine if you pull off one electrical connector from it (it’s situated towards the lights)- the small air hoses are long enough for that.
Thank you for viewing and commenting. I apologize for the late response, life can get busy. The trouble we go through to change a light bulb is evil, the engineer developed a device that will either cut you or break as soon as you touch it LOL. Glad the video was helpful, its why were here. Again, thank you.
Seams to be easypeasy, but I doubt on that.. :) you have 4.2 v8 engine, I have 2.4 engine. And did it one handed, I have problem wit two hands.. :) Well after this vid I must try once again.. wish me luck.. :) Thank you for a good vid.
Actually, yuo can replace the indicator lights easier through the front wheels. There are little holes there, covered by rubber, you just remove the rubber covers there, and gain access to the indicator lights
i belive i mentioned that i could access it through the wheelwell, just didnt have the time to play with it. i plan on making a video on it. thank you for wathching, please subscribe and stay tuned for more
For a 2006 the bulb wires are fragile and bridle, make sure you cover the bare wires with a coat of liquid tape to avoid a fire or modules damage in the future.
thank you for the view. sorry for late reply, life has been crazy. it is possible to have both sets of lights on, depending on year and features. push the turn signal stalk forward, it should work.
For the other side you remove the screw holding the coolant reservoir and move it towards the centre of the engine. Then remove the power steering reservoir holding nut and move it to one side. Hoses are very flexible. Then once you have access to the back of the light do as in this video. Tip: use your left hand through the power steering reservoir bracket while standing with your left side towards the car. Unless you have small hands, then it doesn't matter. My light fitting was struggling to twist lock in place, so i sprayed some silicone oil on the plastic and it locked nicely.
@@rfcar12 base meaning regular model with v8, it has sat nav, 6 disc player and sun shades and basic seats and features. Not performance oriented. If I remember correctly the S6 came with the Gallardo/R8 derived V10, atleast here in the states. You guys are lucky enough to have access to models and packages we are not privy to here.
@@ScarzCarz I apologise I was mistaken. Yes our S6 and rs6 were V10 RS6 being twin turbo was the difference. The 4.2 V8 was available in our market but pretty much a unicorn here as not recognised as a performance vehicle and running costs don't justify it. I was mixed up with our rs8 offerings which have either the 4.2 V8 or the lesser found V10 lambo engine. Rs8 was marketed heavily in the 4.2 V8 version so as not to affect the lambo sales
@@rfcar12 no need to apologize my friend. No harm, no foul. We don't get as many diesel models here either. I always get a kick out of how the same vehicle can differ in different parts of the world.
Once you do it a couple times its not that bad. The newer cars are getting worse with non serviceable L.E.D tech, meaning if the diode fails you replace the whole assembly. Thank you for viewing and commenting.
@@frankw9836 that hasn't happened to me yet. Are you sure it's telling you it's the DRL and not the headlight adjustment? I've seen tons of funky stuff with lights, hard to diagnose without actually touching it myself
Have you tried the other side (driver's)? It's, at least for me (on the 4.2), physically impossible to get at the DRL bulb with my hands and remove it. I can't get enough of a grip or leverage to turn it. I removed the power steering reservoir but the bracket is still in the way, and no amount of bending and jostling gets me access (and I don't want to break it), and that bracket really isn't conducive to being removed. I will probably have to remove the whole headlight assembly to get to that bulb. I can't believe someone got paid to "design" this. Any of these automotive "engineers" should be required to repair things they design, then perhaps they would stop making things so difficult to impossible.
i expected it to be harder, good stuff man.
its not as hard as it looks
getting better, keep it up
thank you

it looks alot harder than it was, good work
thank you.
I finally found a video that explains both sides thank u
Thank you for viewing and commenting. Its been a while since I posted these, kind of forgot that I filmed both sides. Glad it was helpful.

Good video. Lots of info. But I will take my a6 to my friend who is a mechanic. 😁😁👍👍
thank you for viewing.
good work, keep it up
thank you
not bad. that was a pain, it looked like you did it fast. maybe 5 min in and out.
thank you. it wasnt bad, could be faster if not filming
Thanks man this was a very helpful video!! Keep up the good videos with your neglected audi! ✌😂
Good
thanx. lol

thank you for coming and the input
Is it possible to have the DLR + Xenon (all lights on?
thank you for the view. sorry for late reply, life has been crazy. it is possible to have both sets of lights on, depending on year and features. push the turn signal stalk forward, it should work.
any idea how to replace them with led without error
the cheap L.E.D give error. try ziza, or ECS tuning.com they have no error L.E.D for all european.
had to do this on mine, took me forever
its not too bad, ive worked on worse
Thank you! It was easier and more complicated than it should be! That's Audi! 🙄😂
thank you for the view. sorry for late response, life has been crazy
What bulb is it?
@@Andrew2004 thank you for viewing and commenting. The actual bulb size for my year model is 7506, the silver star ones I'm using are 1156
what a pain in the butt for a bulb.
not too bad, ive worked on harder
Two words, German engineering... 🙄
v8 4.2 😍🤤
@@darkizofficial highway killer, lol
Push in and turn left to remove, push in and turn right to replace otherwise it's a no go.
Thank you for viewing and commenting.
okay but i need a video for the drivers side lol u did the easy side of course :(
thank you for the view. i do have a video on the drivers and passenger side.
For the other side you remove the screw holding the coolant reservoir and move it towards the centre of the engine.
Then remove the power steering reservoir holding nut and move it to one side.

Then once you have access to the back of the light do as in this video.

Is that an S6?
Thank you for viewing and commenting. No, not an S6. Just a Base 4.2

so much work for changing a light bulb ?? Thats insane

@@ScarzCarz front DRL yes, its annoying
glad i saw this, im looking to upgrade to LED
make sure you get a good brand
Try doing the other side, near impossible!
Thank you for viewing and commenting again. There should be a video on the other side as well, TH-cam algorithm doesn't like us small channels. Lol
not too dificult now that i see the process
not bad at all
I hate the way the headlights are set up 😤😤why do u have to take the whole air intake apart just to change a light bulb smh‼️🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂✌🏾
yea, a little over engineered. not bad once you do it.
@@ScarzCarz it was so easy 🤦🏽♂️thank you so much ✌🏾👍🏾
