How much cost to fix a cylinder misfire for audi 2002 A6?

1st you have to determine the cause of the misfire: could be as simple as a gad spark plug or wire or bad ignition coil or as involved as a bad piston or valve. do a compression test to see if the misfire is caused by an internal engine componet. IF compression is within limits then problem is probably an electrical problem.

Have you tried wires, coils or injectors?? Depending on the mileage, a compression check may be in order also. P0300 is random misfire.. P0301 refers to cylinder #1 misfire and P0306 refers to cylinder #6 misfire. Try the simple things like wires 1st... after the compression check.


How do you reamove the headlamp on a 2001 Cadillac Catera?

Your best bet is to remove center grill 1st. Then, access to the headlamp is much easier. You might also have to remove trim piece unde headlamp but, it simply pops in. Also, on those headlights, there is a center reflector piece inside the lamp itself. This is what the bulb goes in. Unfortunately, it is common in these cars that this piece becomes detached from the headlamp unit and floats around inside there...causing your beam to be up or down.

Engine misfire detected what should you do?

1st Have the car scanned and see what cylinder and how long ago. Figure out why and repair it. If the last time it was detected was several key cycles, try re-setting the light and see it it comes back on. I still recomend a tune up though.
