Hi All,

I have an annoying problem with my 1999 Audi a6 4.2 V8 Quattro,

Basically whenever you take the key out to exit the vehicle it goes into some sort of diagnostic mode where the cluster cycles through all the warning lights and beeps at each one then sweeps the dial and finally turns off.

It is really doing my head in now lol as you cant lock the car until it's finished doing its bit

I have taken a video of it doing this and have put it on youtube to help diagnose the issue!

I have plugged in VAGCOM and it doesnt report any faults so must be a "Feature" lol

here is the video
 
Might be a faulty ignition switch- certainly it's not normal behavior !

It has always done it and has no adverse effect just that I cant lock the car until it's finished doing its checks that and the beeps gets right on your wick!
 
That (minus analogue gauge test) looks like the VCDS output test. As Chris has said, definitely not normal behavior. Potentially software corruption in the cluster.
