Afternoon all, I have just purchased my first Audi A4, I seem to have a fault with the electrics and I have no idea what is wrong can you help?
This fault is intermittent and clears after approx 5 - 10 min
When driving along I receive a message on the dashboard saying I am nearly empty when the car is full, the fuel gauge goes to empty and the outside temperature reading display drops to -40! Also the engine management light comes on. And also a symbol which I think says that the washer bottle is nearly empty.
Sometimes when this happens the fuel gauge stays fine but the engine temperature gauge falls to 0. The car runs fine with these lights on and then after approx 10 - 20 min the fault disappears.
I have had the car to a mechanic who has had it on the computer and there is no engine trouble it seems to point to the dash?
Has and one god any idea what can cause all these faults to happen at once.
Cheers
Tom
