Audi A6: Alternator or Voltage Regulator? Burned two batteries in a week.

The 1996 Audi A6 Quattro cars battery gauge will jump up under acceleration but doesn't seem to hold charge even after long periods at high R P Ms dies at idle I had it tested at AutoZone they stated must be Alternator but the Voltage regulator much cheaper part and a fix I could manage, the alternator not so much . Any information as how to diagnose one from the other would be greatfully welcome.

2001-2004 Audi A6: Why won't my brake lights turn off?

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 17:32:12 -0700

After a long trip aprox. 1100km I turned off my car and didn't touch it for a day, next evening as I was passing by I saw that my brake lights are on, like someone is pressing the brake, I checked that the pedal is maybe stuck or the switch is on but everything was as it should be. I disconnected the battery and left it to sit for a day.

Next day I connected the battery and everything was normal, I drove for maybe 150km and at the end of the drive everything was normal, next morning I checked again and they were again on.

Did anyone have the same problem or know how to fix this?

1997-2001 Audi A6: HELP: why are my breaks not working?!

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 05:06:24 -0700

I have an Audi a6, year 2000. My breaks were locking up every now and then and my break pedal was super tight. I did some research and found that i had to replace my abs sensors. I did that and now my breaks are acting the total opposite. My break pedal goes all the way to the floor and it is hard to stop my car. I tried to bleed the breaks but only two of them actually bleed.

could this be a blockage issue?

if so i feel like the blockage would cause my breaks to be hard such as too much pressure...

could it maybe be the master cylinders?

or did i just mess up my abs somehow?
