Hi there - wondering if anyone can help/advise.
I have an 05 plate Audi A8 3.0Tdi Quattro multi-tronic which up until a couple of days ago was running absolutely fine. Essentially, when turning the ignition, the DIS displays a message to 'Engage N or P before starting'.........problem is that the car is parked in the driveway in 'P' already but will not start. For some reason it thinks that a gear is engaged when it isn't. :confused:
I've checked all the fuses - they're fine. Have disconnected / reconnected the battery in case that would reset 'something' which didn't. Recent work I've done to the car was to replace the handbrake switch which had snapped. Drove the car after replacing and it was absolutely fine (about one week ago).
Any help on this/advise would be much appreciated. I have located someone who can home visit and run a diagnostic check to get the ball rolling - I just need it mobile again!!
