Your best bet is a local garage otherwise you'll need to buy vcds/vagcom and whilst the outlay is not significant it may take time to get used to it
Think I've managed to track down someone with the software. 
I've got a bluetooth generic ODB reader and the Torque app, will that be able to give me the fault codes at least?

If the module has flagged up a DTC, the OBD reader and Torque will pick it up. This may be of use if there are codes present: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Category:...I've got a bluetooth generic ODB reader and the Torque app, will that be able to give me the fault codes at least?

Seeing as you guys have been really helpful with the ACC issue, could I ask your opinion on another question I have about my new S6?
I've been poking around the car trying to see exactly what came with the car and what didn't and on pulling the rear driver side boot storage compartment liner out to access the tools (pic 1), I was met with a couple of non-terminated wires just sitting there (pic 2).
Following this cable back led to a loose plastic panel cover (not pictured) set back in the compartment (between the tool tray and the inner side of the rear wing panel), following it behind that led an electronic box of tricks (pulled forward from where it was sitting, pic 3) just sitting loose on the bottom of the compartment.
This all looks decidedly aftermarket to me, can anyone shed any light on what might be going on?
One other oddity I noticed is that my car definitely has Adaptive Cruise Control fitted (has control stalk with distance dial and radar on front grill), but it isn't listed on the car's options in the service book or against its vin. Could it be a retrofit?

I would say that relay is for towing lights as there is no switched live in the boot.
If not for a trailer (as the cars not type approved) maybe for some universal light clusters if the previous owner had a rear bike rack that obscured the lights?
With regards to the ACC.
If you check the front of your service book you will have a load of build codes listed and you should have code 8T3 (8T3 = Adaptive Cruise Control and cruise control system) listed.
There are online tools where you can enter them all and it will give you a list of whats fitted - http://igorweb.org/equidec/

Thanks Barry, here are my codes and their translation - couldn't see any Adaptive Cruise Control in there?If not for a trailer (as the cars not type approved) maybe for some universal light clusters if the previous owner had a rear bike rack that obscured the lights?

Maybe it was retrofitted; not an easy task IIRC.
Sounds like one of 2 options assuming nothing is physically broken then.
1. Cheap fix; remove the cover and clean the sensor behind.
2. The sensor needs realignment which by all accounts is quite expensive to do.
Some info here and a fix for ACC realignment http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/45994...

Thanks again, there is a third option I've read - heater circuit in the radar is knackered. Requires a £200 part, but is hopefully an easy fix.Sounds like one of 2 options assuming nothing is physically broken then.

We can run this adaptation at the weekend. Shouldn't take long.- turn steering wheel left 90 degrees, then back straight, drive 10 seconds under 20km/h

ETA: We can also check the module coding to make sure, if it was retrofitted, it was coded correctly.
ETAA: Just noticed the adaptation is for the A4/S4/RS4. Not keen on running it in that case.

The plot thickens - connected up my bluetooth OBDII reader and it gave me 3 options for reading codes - historic, pending or just read codes.
Justing reading the codes and historic codes showed nothing, but pending codes only had PO300, PO305 and PO310, which are misfire multi-cylinder, misfire cylinder 5 and misfire cylinder 10.
I half expected these as the dealer reported the car was noticeably down on power when they took it in and so they had the intake Terracleaned (I have a copy of the invoice). I'm not totally convinced it's back up to full power, but that's a separate issue.
The main point is: No ACC fault codes!
I'm really beginning to wonder if it's just me being a muppet - the system is definitely fitted, I just tried it on the drive and the system opens and gives you the 3 dots on the display with red triangles all around the speedo, ready for you to set speed. When I try to set the speed sitting still on the drive, it says "Speed too low" as expected (it only operates between 20 mph and 120 mph, I believe).
When I do it on the move, it says "ACC not available", which suggests to me a fault? I've tried it in D, S and Manual, as I know some cars get funny about cruise control in Sport mode, but no luck.

They can do that now? Because last time I heard they cant actually do the intake part that cokes up, only the injection systems onwards, if that's still the case then they've missed the main culprit Gassing Station | Audi, Seat, Skoda & VW | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
