    [ QUOTE ] When my brake light switch went I got no warning lights at all. Just had no brake lights!! Scary driving around central London without them. Good old Audi roadside to the rescue again. [/ QUOTE ] This is why im thinking it may be something other than the switch that has a problem...

    Warning Lights on Dash

    Nice one mate.Feel a bit more satisfied about what the guy said now. He has said it will be about £50 for the sensor (fitted).That sound about right?

    Warning Lights on Dash

    Its not the bulbs that are away on it though mate.Its the sensor for when i press the brakes the lights should come on.This is causing the traction control light to come on due to it being linking to the ABS.Now this is what i was told today so thats why i said i thought it sounded weird. If i...

    Warning Lights on Dash

    Yeah,checked the manual and the coil symbol is for Glow Plugs.According to the manual these have something to do with the engine temperature.I was quite worried when i read this because at the end it says to take the car to a dealership asap. I dont deal with dealerships now so i took it to my...

    Frozen Dash Dials

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] looks like a more than reasonable price: E-Bay Linky [/ QUOTE ] his is a TDi, so I'm afraid it wouldn't do. It isnt the case of it not being able to cope with the cold, more like as i said a poor joint/hairline crack that the metal contracts when cold and so doesnt make...

    [ QUOTE ] go to my homepage and download the pdf It will show you how to remove it and what wires go where - if you look at where the connectors attach to the pcb board there could be a bad connection there. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/macnee/ [/ QUOTE ] Your downloads could be really...

    Frozen Dash Dials

    Any chance you could give me an "idiots guide" to taking the cluster out mate.To me,i just see the dials behind the glass and have no idea how to start taking them out. If i get the cluster out,do you think that it will be one of these 3 plugs that have the dodgy connection? Thanks in advance of...

    Frozen Dash Dials

    Ive had the lights on the dash staying on aswell with the key removed from the ignition.Im thinking it could just be a dodgy connection because if it was a problem with the dash cluster ,would this also affect the lights on the dash?? Anyone else got any ideas?

    Frozen Dash Dials

    No warning lights come on at all and it hasnt happened today.Im hoping that it has just been the cold weather but surely the gauges should be able to withstand the temperatures here. If the winter is to be as cold as it has been said then i hope im not in for problems.Is there any way moisture...

    Explain this.........

    Glad im not the only one thats been having this problem.I hate slamming the door though in case the window shatters.Just had the MAF replaced and now this is happening. When i bought my Audi i was told that the main problems would be electrical and ive had quite a few of them so far.
