Call Audi assist ? You may well need a new battery fella.

All done - Audi Assist (actually RAC) were very good. Got her started, full check to make sure there was no irregular draining. Took it for a 40 min blast and and it's fine. Lesson learnt: Don't leave your RS6 untouched for a month.

Hi

I had a simeler problem with my rs6 (also tuned) I lost about 60 hp tested in the dyno and it took some time before we found the ploblem bad grond from the generator and som diods in the generator was broke. My car was not loding the battery to more than 13v it sems like if the generator dont give 14-15v some of the computers in the car is shutting down the power.

the way to handle this sort of situation is either:
1) you have vag-com, and set the car into "transport mode" which turns off all (most) applicances.
2) ask audi to do the same, and then reset when you return...

I don't think that'll ever be the case :hihi: I'm going nuts when I can't drive it for a day :D
