Problem with central locking on A6
 

Hi there

I have a slightly wierd problem with my 2001 A6 2.5TDI saloon

I went to open it with key fob and did one click for the driver door then
two to open the passenger doors as normal.

It did this ok and then it started opening all the windows on its own 1 inch
at a time, similar to as if the key fob button was kept pressed down but the
windows go down in one smooth motion, this was jolty and stop\start motion
until all windows opened.

I went and got my spare fob and the same thing happened again. Also the
doors locks keep clicking open as if they are being opened with continuos
button pressing of the fob. I managed to lock the car evetually with a bit
of trouble but am worried in case it happens again and the windows open and
sods law it will fill up with rain or car thieves.!!!!!

Anybody have any ideas where io should start looking. Not very car technical
so english explanations would be ideal !

Any help or advice much appreciated.

Thanks in Anticipation

Did you have both key fobs with you after you got your spare?

If so you may have had a stuck contact in the first one that was still stuck
when you got the other one and the first one continued to cause the problem.

Other than that, if the battery in the car is low it can cause unusual things.

Beyond that you will need to check with the Audi dealer or a good Audi
independent with the software to pull the error codes.

I completely hid the first fob in case it was still transmitting on the
other side of the house

Re: Problem with central locking on A6
 

I had exactly the same thing happen on a 98 A6. The Audi dealer fixed
it by replacing the locking control module. About $750 parts and labor.
