- This video shows how easy it is - to remove front bumper cover and headlights (clusters) on Audi A6 (C6 4F).
Important note! Behind wheel arch inliner there are few more screws that were not present in the video! Please see this description:

One more important note: this particular vehicle doesn't have a plastic underbelly cover (underneath the engine). It supposed to be connected to bumper cover by 3 bolts. This is the only bit I can't show you, so any comments welcome.

Thanks!
Finally a video where you don't have to remove the front tires to remove the bolts in the wheel well to get the bumper off. Thank you guys!
You're welcome 😊
Another great video! Thank you very much!
IN CASE SOMEONE's RADIATOR FAN IS GOING 100% as soon as you turn the engine ON, these are simple steps to save you some decent chunk of money:
1) (remove bumper; it's not even needed to be competely removed, just the passenger's side to be dropped)
No need to remove wheels, just turn them to side and undo the wheel arch cover (3 screws) and then bend it.
2) Unscrew the T20 on little plastic cover on the right hand side of the radiator.
3) Undo the connector on the AC pressure sensor.
4) Undo the sensor with spanner 24mm.
5) Replace, and go backwards to the first step.
Woala :)
This literally takes about 40mins.
your video was a great help. just want to point out on my 09 A6, there were 3 additional screw on the inside edge of bumper near mud guard on each side, so don't try pulling bumper off until these are also removed.
09 is a facelift. Thank you for pointing on that! :)
On my 2005 A6 the underbelly, as you call it, is fastened to the bumper cover with flat head twist lock screws. They required only 1/2 or 1/4 turn counter clockwise to pull out. Thank you for the video. I forgot about the nuts inside the wheel well (one on each side). LOL Had to watch your video again to see why it wasn't coming off. Thank you for the video!
Do you mean those nuts inside wheel arches?
I remember those screws from undercover... when I had the undercover :)
Thank you for your comment :) Hope this video helps..
top video guys, now i know what to do tomorrow when i try and sort out my lights that are pointing in the sky and blinding everyone 😂
Thanks! Quite often when lights are blinding it could be incorrectly installed bulb. Also actual alignment is done in the garage that has that special stand... These instructions in the video are mostly how to align headlights with the rest of the body.
I’m changing my intercooler on this model Audi the weekend so many thanks 🙏 video was very informative.
I think my intercooler split as I’m losing air intake compression.
Hope to be changing hoses too.
👍
Glad if it helps
WOW.....that is how you make a perfect youtube video. Thanks
You're very welcome 😷👍
Thank you for taking the time to break this down. It was For me overwhelming to look at the project before I got started once I did everything went good. Thanks again Now its time to fix some broken wires inside the light assembly and put back together
You're very welcome :) Glad , if it helps.
very good video. I need to fix the xenon magnifying glass and this video is perfect!
Thanks :) Glad if it helps.
If you have headlight washers, be careful. The connection is on the left side. the hose for it is near the nut that is hard to get to.
Thanks! I don't have washers and I didn't think of that.. Will be useful for others. Thank you.
Ace work! Got to take my bumper off on Saturday to replace the Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor, so this is a huge help!
Thanks Jack :) Glad if it helps someone!
Jack Davies how did it go with the aircon pressure sensor Jack? Got to do mine soon, so trying to find info on how to do it on 2007 A6 Allroad
I've not done it yet. Will be this weekend.. I'll make a video for you mate
Jack Davies fantastic! I've read conflicting info on whether you need to take bumper off or can reach down the side of radiator from above, also whether you need to remove the gas from the aircon system, so will be great to see a vid as I've not yet found one for C6, which seems odd as it's a very common issue
No problem at all. On my 2.0TDI I think I could reach the sensor bumper in situ but it's tight. And I'm also not going to degas.. and hope and pray haha
AWESOME VID!
Thanks Andy 👍
Great video guys awesome..thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome 👍
Thanks lads. Great instructions as per usual.

Thanks :)
Thank you 👍
You're welcome :)
Anyway I can send you a picture of my bumpers damaged screw port , im In need of assistance to replace but am struggling to find any part. It's the side screw port that connects with bumper
Thanks! Just bought an 2007 A6, I've seen it during the day when I bought it, at night I noticed headlights beam is quite high up, so I wiggled the driver's headlight and damn... I think it's missing 2 out of those 3 screws that'sholding it in it's place because is moving freely with a touch of hand and I doubt it should be like that!
You're right - it should sit tight. Maybe previous owner had a bump?
Hi
Great vid, i found it easier to disconnect the foglights while the bumper was still on which made removing the bumper a lot easier!
Do you have a guide for rear bumper removal for audi a6 c6 ?
Thanks for the advise.
Yes, I do have instructions for rear bumper, but unfortunately I can't show them in the video, because I don't have this car anymore :(
WheelsAndMotors Ah, love your videos very simple to follow and great detail. Any chance of the instructions for the rear bumper as i need to replace a parking sensor?
thanks!
SIM UK I might have instructions, but I can't show in the video, because I don't have this car anymore :(
ty
yw👍
nice, thanks!
You're welcome :)
Great video guys.
Can you remove the fog lights and surrounding trim without taking the bumper off?
Yes
Great video! I have to change out my radiator in 2002 a 6, I have everything off except the hoses, released pin, still won't budge, any ideas? Thanks!
I can recommend Elsawin (have a look on eBay) - very good source of manuals.
Hi, I have the same Audi but with xenon headlights. I'm having trouble with the headlight washers, they do come out and spray on the headlight but they don't slide back in. I think the nozzle pumps left and right need to be replaced. My question is.. do I have to take off the whole bumper to replace the pumps or could I reach them if I took the wheelcover off?
Your videos have been very helpfull :)
I didn't have any of that "posh" stuff :) As far as I know there are 2 sprayers, but the actual pump is located behind wheel liner of the front left wheel. I think if they spray - your pump is alright, you might have trouble with nozzle units. Not sure how to replace them though, sorry :(
I need to replace my air con radiator, think they call it the condenser, I have no gas in it, any idea how easy that is please?
Sorry Tony, I've no experience with that one.
hello can i ask you i have halogen headlights in my a6 4f i want xenon headlights does the cable past for the xenon headlights? please answer before i buy xenon headlights thank you
I have no experience with xenon lights, sorry.
Спасибо!
Всегда пожалуйста :)
👍👍
👍
btw, do you or anyone else here know if you can clean the inside of the dipped headlight lens? Mine is fogged up like a dirty window (not with moisture)
With the mileage headlights get microscopic scratches, so they look foggy. They can be polished. As from inside - never had to deal with it.
Hello i have an audi a6 c6 3.0 tdi s line quatrro lemans editon 2007 plate. I have been randomly loosing power whole driving car seems to go into limp mode and the exhaust become much louder when pressing the gas pedal . Was wondering if you experienced anything like this. I have have the error code p0046 i think which said it was the turbocharger . But my turbo works 90% of the time. Please help me out
Hi, I have not experienced that with my car. I think that error is pointing to boost actuator. I found a good link explaining what could possibly be wrong:

@@wawayltd Thanks for your fast response ill check the link out . Appreciate your time 👍
hello i have a questioni do have a audi A4 2011 my front lights does not have the led lights,it comes regular i do want to changed the head light to LED LIGHT. DO I NEED TO CHANGE A SENSOR OFTER I INSTAL IT IN.. WILL I HAVE A ELECTRIC PROBLEMS IF I CHANGE IT LIKE A NORMAL LIGHT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU,I LIVE IN USA
+isreal Last As far as I know they are not "plug and play" you would need to reprogam ECU to adopt different type of light
hoo ok thank you so much
hi i have a a6 2009. the first and second gear is sticking a little. when up hill it is fine in all gears but on level it is only sticking in 1 and 2nd. do you have any ideas what it can be please
+immmys khan Don't know sorry. I have similar problem with my Sharan - sometimes first and reverse sticking.
my friend put some grease in the gear shifter it is a little better. 1) put some gloves and 2) open the gear leather cover near gear nob and 3) where the gears go in the plastic must be dry 4) fill with grease and keep using the gears so grease goes in. hop it helps. thats what i tried this week. also took to garrage to grease linkage under the car. its litttle better but not what i expect of audi.
Hi
I was removing bumper on a6 and have rounder one of the star bolts and i cant get it off now. the bolt is on the side of the grill it is a little down and inside. there is 2 of them the same length, any ideas on taking it out, it is completely rounded?
+immmys khan Try pliers? Also there are sold bolt/screw extractor tools (have a look on ebay)
do any of you guys know if an audi 2006 a6 quattro front bumper would be able to fit onto a audi a6 2008 quattro?
It's same model range, I think shouldn't be a problem.
can anyone help ? My 2001 A6 AWD . I have popped the hood/bonnet but the rubber tag that poke thru the logo is not there to release the hood fully. I had some work done on it last week and the mechanic has messed up.....They are not in until monday and I need to change dead battery so I can drive today...HELP PLEASE ..Thanks .
+Dutch Van Helsing Never had this problem. Is there anything that you can catch on? With some tool...
+WheelsAndMotors Can not see the rubber tag that used to be there...Its snowing...but I guess I better get under it and look..Cheers
you are pointing to it in this video at 1.31 seconds
How do you adjust the height of the bumper
Not sure, sorry.. I don't have that car for about 5 years.
@@wawayltd thanks
Is this necessary to change the headlight igniter? or can it be done from under the hood?
+Dolle Electric Inc My car had simple halogen bulbs, so I can't say much about igniters..
Good lord man what da hell happen to those sweat pants, battery acid?!🤯 Time fer a new pair! And I don't think ya had that camera bouncing around enuff. I thought I was gonna get sea sick there fer a bit!🤢
You're very welcome 😎👍
I have an A6 C6 and am going to take the Bumper off..... What tools do i Need? Torx Socket set?
+poosnip 13mm and 10mm sockets, T30 and T25 screwdrivers, also the car in the video bellow doesn't have an underbelly cover, you should have one, it connects to the bumper cover with 3 bolts - disconnect them. Here's the link:
www.wheelsandmotors.com/show_solution.php?id=27
Thanks.... Your videos are brilliant.... I watched the one with your black A6 and I have seen the 3 screws for the underbelly protector. The reason i have to get this bumper off i I have Parking sensors (3 of which are defective as is the main loom so I have one from Germany (Kufatec))
I also have the headlight Washers so I have to be careful of them too.
There is another GErman video with a guy with a similar set up so I will try to combine both videos when I attempt this next weekend.
My biggest problem now is my rear high level brake light...... I need to replace. As I have an avant, it is not so easy. the rear trim on the rearboot needs to come off and it seems all to easy to break!!!! My MOT is round the corner and if I cannot replace, this is a fail!
+poosnip Do you mean central brake light? The one on rear door of your Avant?
+WheelsAndMotors Yes .... The one on the boot door / lid ! It seems straight forward, but I am weary of cracking the trim....which is held in by clips.
+poosnip Apparently to avoid breaking clips the temperature must be above 20 degrees, they even recommend to heat it up with hot air blower. Also "it is sufficient to unclip and bend back top edge of trim at top of rear lid
only" whatever that means. I have a video for light to be replaced on A6 saloon, but have no practical experience with Avant, so can't be much of a help, sorry..
Where do you put the stand at under the car and my car has the underbelly cover , so the screws for that is under the bumper?
There are few torx screws for undercover, but I can't show, because I don't have that car anymore. As for stands, I have a video about it:
th-cam.com/video/znjQDANbaMY/w-d-xo.html
WheelsAndMotors ok thank you
In 1:05, where the 3 bolts are do you know the name of the plastics that hold the bumper? I have the middle one of my car but the other 2 are missing because the plastics are broken.
Don't know what they called, you can order it from dealership just explaining what you looking for, or if you need part number, check this website:
www.oemepc.com/
will this work for the wagon body type as well as the sedan?
+Emily Rogers Never tried it, but I suppose it should. Watch for parking sensors! Because I didn't have them on my car.
Hello!!!!!!!!!! will remove about audi a6 c6 4f tdi 2.0 ?????????? very interesting !!!!!
Ромыч!! Hello :) Чё-то я тебя совсем не понял :) Что ты пытаешься сказать?
video about A6 C6 will ????????
+ром ромов Чего "will"? :)))
suspension system repair,replacement shock absorbers. replacing injectors and glow plugs
+ром ромов Извини, Ром! У меня этой машины больше нету. Пока новых видео с Ауди не запланировано. Пока снимаю другие машины. На данный момент с Гольфом балуюсь. Время покажет, может как-нибудь ещё и до Аудиков опять доберусь.
is it possible to install a 2010 front bumper on a 2008 a6?
snakebreezy I don't know what's the difference between pre-facelifted and facelifted models. I suppose, it could be possibe.. But can't guarantee.
snakebreezy yes but you will need new foglights, headlight washers, and hardware to swap the washer hoses over. And of course the foglight grills and headlight washer caps
how about a a6 2006 bumper onto a 2008 a6
Easy Peasy Squeeze The lemon!!
👍👍👍
You're welcome Milan :)
buono chiaro fatto bene okkkkkk
Sono felice, se potessi aiutare il mio amico! :)
