welcome to the forum.

i'm not going to begin to guess what kind of audi you have.
I'll wait for you to tell us its age and fuel type.

Sorry about that

And engine code if you can find it on the sticker in the service book / spare wheel well.

I would think it's a BAM.
Get a scan done for fault codes..

BAM= engine code.
Have the car scanned for faults !

Cheers guys for the help, total legends! :beerchug:

Now going to blast it to the local audi service centre

No error code, esp light will come on when i really give it some so having the sensors checked out even though no code :/

Just out of interest, what did they scan, engine or abs? If light comes on and stays on till you cycle the ignition then it will store a code unless its a power supply problem. Just a thought!!

If the light comes on when you nail it,...shes spinning,..........thats normal isn't it

[NickPicks]

My abs / traction control light comes on when it's wheel spinning. That's perfectly normal as it's doing what it should do (trying to stop the wheelspin)

Im not sure which one it was to be honest

the light just comes on now n then but when it does, it stays on until i restart the engine :confused:
