Hello everyone,
My 04 reg A6 Final Edition has developed several electric issues and I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced them and if so, how did they over come them.
The issues:
* Airbag light is constantly on for no reason.
* ESP light comes on randomly and stays on, will not turn off.
* Gear selection indicator between the dials sporadically flashes on and off. Whilst it is flashing it doesn't tell you which gear is selected but seems to drive fine.
* The alarm goes off for no reason.
* The parking sensor sometimes beeps continuously when you first put it in reverse, but more often than not makes no noise at all.
The person I bought the car off has recommended that I disconnect the battery over night and that should reset the computer and everything should be ok. Am I right in thinking that disconnecting it will lock the radio? I don't have the radio code to hand so would rather try that last - is there another way of resetting the system. I'd also like to avoid dealerships.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Thanks in advanced!
Ross
