kind of disappointed to have to be here so soon after another glitch with my Audi!

earlier today noticed rear wiper didn't work, and then that the warning light for the boot being open was flashing/ checked it and it was closed ok/ must be faulty sensor.

then driving home to night, radio display went really bright and the window op lights the doors went off, a few miles later the rev and speed counter both dropped and passenger air bag waring came on for a few seconds, a few miles later, all dash lights went out and no indicators!!!! all came back on after switching off for a few minutes, but boot waring and rear wiper still off. i suspect this will be on going and an unpredictable orrurance....

no change in the car performance though and headlight thankfully remained on.

Not checked the fuses yet as though a blown fuse may cause this to other circuits??

ANyone any ideas?

car is a 2005 A3 Sportback TDI/140 well cared for.

Check ignition switch give it a bump or move it and see if it makes a change. Beware if you are driving at the same time please not put your steering lock on or the cut out.
