Is anybody else in possession of a 'cursed' A5 ?
I have had mine less time than the Audi Dealership have, as it randomly has electric issues starting with a parking brake malfunction which leads to an adaptive headlight warning, loss of indicators and a lack of power assistance with the steering.The indicators then flash when they feel like it and the driver info system then appears to short out.
Obviously, my Audi dealership have been unable to have the car fault for them, as luck would have it, until this morning when "it lit up like a christmas tree" before there very eyes.
I have now rejected the car and asked for one that works after many many attempts to find the gremlin to no avail.
I await the outcome with baited breath!

Sound familiar to anyone or am I on my own with this one?

This fault is could be caused by a lose terminal 30 bolted contact at the relay carrier next to the engine ecu.I didnt say that did i

Thanks very much for the advice!
Really appreciated.
I've passed these thoughts to the dealer who is going to have a look at it.
In the mean time they are trying to find a replacement vehicle that I can rely on.
Thanks again for the advice.
