Got in the car Sunday and the engine management light came on. Called Audi breakdown and they popped over and ran the tests, showed that the two inlet manifold motors were faulty, EGR had problems and some other code I can't remember!

Booked it into Audi and got the IM motors replaced under warranty! £1300 just for parts so glad I didn't have to cough up.

They gave me a courtesy A6 2.0t TFSI which TBH I was quite dissappointed in. 28mpg on 137mile motorway trip, I would have expected more mpg especially with the 7 speed multi-tronic box.

Im glad that the two motors packed up under warranty. Car has done 62k.

Technician did say this was the only major fault with the engine.

Anyone else experienced this?

I have, twice on my A6 3.0Tdi. First time in August 2011 then last month.

Seems to be a common fault on the V6 diesels.

Both motors at the same time or just one?
