Hudson Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi, Not all the time, but sometimes when i brake i can feel something give a gentle ''hit'' to the middle of my back, i am sure it is one of the supports that move up and down for the lumbar support..... has anybody else noticed this ? oh, my car is a 1999 A6 2.8 Quattro, Thanks.

danksy Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 They are common faults on the A6 to fail completely! When they finally let go they apparently go with a hell of a bang HAven't noticed it on mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 wow.... looks like it may be a ''back off seat'' jobby in the not too distant future. It is just annoying at times waiting for the slight 'tap' when you brake, i think i may get an independant seating firm to look at it as Audi will be totally out of the question with there hourly rate, cheers for that.

[/ QUOTE ] Hi Hudson, tricky one this but are you absolutely certain that the kids are securely strapped into their respective booster seat/s??? Given you have any!!! I'll let myself out eh???

Hudson Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Good call, i do have them ( 2 little mortgages), and it happens if they are in the back or not. I think it is either one or two loose ''straps'' that will be in the seat due to it having the lumber support and the seat having to ripple all the way up the back to get the desired seating effect. I guess the only way to really solve it is to have the back of the seat off and ''have a look see''. I do not want to go to the dealer as it will be a decision that could cost me dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd_W Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Try a search on www.audiworld.com - there is a lot more going on there. If it can happen, it will have done and someone will have written about it. Goto C5 A6 forum and then search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
