Hi All I'm having a few problems with my Audi that has been bulletproof since I've had it. 1. the boot wont open, when I press the fob the lights flash on.
I have been told its probably the lock mechanism inside, but is there anything else that could cause it i.e. is there a fuse or relay for it. Also is there a manual way of opening the boot. I have looked through the back seats and cant see any panels that I can access to open the boot, there's also no key hole on the outside of the boot which would allow me to open it. I have also tried to open the boot using the switch on the drivers door.
2. I had a message last week on the screen next to the speedometer stating that my oil was low and to fill with 1litre, I done that and the message still came up, the next day I put in another litre of oil but the message still showed up.
I checked the dipstick and this shows the oil is too the max, I have spotted a small oil leak on the engine also. A friend of mine said that there is a sensor at the bottom of the sump that maybe be faulty and causing the message to stay, is that true? and are they easy to replace, expensive?
My friend also said that the small oil leak was ok and that these engines are known for having small oil leaks, again is that true? I found that statement a bit odd that an oil leak was ok.
3. My right rear indicator light has turned on and wont turn off, it doesn't flash it just stays on, this fault occurred today. Any help and advice on these faults would be amazing even knowledge of the parts you think I would need and general costs would be helpful.
Kindest Regards
