    Yes its a B6, the problem is Blocked Plenum Chambers, It is an Audi recall on certain aged and Model A4's, so contact your local dealer and if your car was part of the recall they will sort it out under warranty. If not use the search function on here and search Plenum Chamber and it will give you an in depth guide on how to unblock them

    i think b6 is similar to b5 so check blocked frainage where the battery sits and cracked pollen filter housing,dirt and leaves do block them..Hope that helps.

    Central convenience unit is under the carpet in the passenger footwell. Would advise you lift the carpet, remove the unit, open it and dry it completely.
