I just bought an Audi a4 1998 2.4 v6 with a 5 speed tiptronic gear box i need assitance on the oil light thats keeps flashing and the ABS as well.

On a normal driving the gear displays just becomes red that you will not see which gear you are using like all of them are inganged.
This happens mostly on breaking. The break light is contiously on on the panel and the Rave counter will go to zero

the following codes came out of the diagnostic tool.
18010,16486,17544,16514,00529,00638,00545,18192 & 00526. most of them are now cleared execep the brake ones

All lights illuminated means the gearbox is in limp mode.

Would recommend a gearbox oil and filter change, as this should be done every 40K, and often is not done.

If it still happens after that then it is probably the gearbox speed sensor, though there are many other things that can cause the fault. Reading the codes is the easyiest way to diagnose
