Title: Work on the A6
Post by: Binary Shadow on July 30, 2011, 21:05:55 PM
Had to change the air con/auxillary electric cooling fan in my A6, it burnt out and the car has been close to overheating a couple of times. Got a new one from ebay, thought it would be a 10 min job to unplug and replace it.. apparently not.

Put undertray back on, leave the front bumper off and whack a MadMax style Bull Bar setup on the front with some big ass spotlights!  :muttley:

:o

new cars are a pain in the ass to work on :-(

8 hours at a main stealer to change a thermostat ?  I could single handedly change the engine in an old transit van quicker than that !
