Anyone have any ideas if you can self-diagnose fault codes for an 8P2 a3?
No signs or symptoms that I can tell other than this :/

I have this too... Keep me posted on what you find out... I'm hoping it's something inane and cheap...

Yeh, get it scanned with VCDS.
Intake Manifold Flaps is a possibility when this light comes, just had this issue on mine.
Scrap that, mines diesel yours is petrol.

Aiden,
How much did it cost you to put the Intake flaps right? And is it an easily DIY-able job? Mine is coming up with a P2108 Unknown code...? However google it and you get suggestions of Intake control flap...

Its worth pointing out that the light is on, then will randomly go off and also it will sporadically come back on again, I cannot find any common ground on what triggers it or when it comes on/goes off...
No probs Dan,
If it is that I was told that it could last for months, maybe a year or it could fail at anytime meaning the car was un driveable, no idea how true that is like but there ya go fella.
Mine did that when the EGR valve was going - no other symptoms and didn't run any worse than it usually does. Eventually I got the light on full time.

If you lived closer to Manchester I could have used my VCDS.
If you don't have access to VCDS you can get a bluetooth ODB dongle (£5) and buy the Torque Pro app on android phones.
This is a quick and cheap method to scan and clear codes.

maf loose??
it doesn't always affect how the engine runs if the airbox pipe has popped off, but could still put the light on

I live in Newquay mate. Get the car to me and I will plug VCDS in for you.
Thanks mate, I will take you up on that in a few weeks if any problems persist! I am Bodmin way.
