When you turn the key do you hear anything from the starter?

    nothing... everything inside the car lights up, that's the only response I get.

    It may require one of the following things.
    1. Since you got your lights to turn on, there is still some voltage in their, just not around the 12 or so required to start your car. You may need to just jump start it, and let your alternator charge it up, make sure you drive it for awhile, idling won't charge it.

    And/OR

    2. Check the nut/bolt on the positive terminal. Sometimes these become lose, especially if you've had to disconnect for electrical work sometime prior. Make sure it's nice and tight, and that not corrosion is around either of the terminals. To remove corrosion, take a quarter of a can of coke and baking soda, put into a cup you can throw away (although be careful, because it can eat away at plastic cups) then take an old toothbrush, dip in the solution and wipe down the terminals. Then spray the terminals with a battery protectant solution that you can buy at your local auto supplies dealer. also it might actually have what's called an engine lock. (The User's Manual will let you know if you have one and how to unlock it.) The lights will come on, etc., but the car won't start. It'll just make a clicking noise. also If its manual put in the clutch when you try start. If its automatic put it in Park.

16619 -Engine boost condition - Limit not reached. Check intake hoses/ connections for leaks. Check Turbo charger waste gate regulating valve/ waste gate working correctly. Must move freely when accelerating, won't achieve full boost if waste gate sticking open. Check Turbo impeller turning freely, oil feed pipe for turbo can get blocked causing impeller to seize. Engine compact, not easy to access these components.

Audi A6 water leak won't start.

If the lights work, why did you buy a new battery that you didn't need? A car like an Audi A6 can't be fixed by 'guessing'. It is what I call the 'Let's try replacing this' method of car repair. Modern cars need electronic diagnosis using the OBD2 port that is provided for that purpose. You need an auto electrician, his pro grade scan tool computer will show where the problem is. Did you check fuses and relays with your digital multimeter?

Also, when you disconnect the battery, the anti-theft system needs resetting.

Why does my battery keep dying in my audi 1997 a6? When it's running and the fan kicks on the voltage meter jumps down. When the lights are on and then fan kicks on my lights dim.

The battery seems to have reached end of design life. Replace. Also check charging system for voltage. With engine idling check voltage at battery terminals. It should be about 14 volts.

Can i jump start an audi a6 2005

On the 2005 Audi A6 3.2 (6 cylinder) the battery is stored in the right rear trunk, under the trunk floor lid. Note: To jump start the car, you simply raise the engine hood, and look in the upper left corner of the engine compartment, just slightly below the plastic cover. There you will see connections that lead to the battery and are specifically designed for jumping (or charging) the battery. You will need to lift up gently on a reddish brown cover which is protecting the positive terminal. The negative terminal (black) is not covered.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to jump the battery directly. The battery could explode and you could get sulfuric acid on your face and in your eyes, which would be bad. Very bad.

The battery on my 2003 Audi A6 keeps dying. I

Sound's like a bad alternator, you can check the alternator by measuring the voltage on the battery when the car is started, it should measure above 12.6 volt's but not higher than 14.5 volt's, check the drive belt tension, a lose or wore drive-belt could cause problem's with the alternator charging the batery, check the battery terminal's for corrosion, along with the connection's of the battery cable's.
Hope this help's, good luck.
