2001 Audi A3 electrical problem
Hello,
I have a problem with my Audi A3 SE 1.6 2001 (Y-reg).
If car was not driven for more than 2 days it is impossible to switch on engine without booster (battery runs off). However when I trying to
switch it without booster it shows "FUSE". After boosting everything seems ok and even after 15 minutes drive engine starts normally.
I guess it could be Alarm Fuse problem because sometimes it starts alarm without any reason. Have tried to switch off interior monitor (near driver's door) but didn't help.
Any solutions?

Sorry ignore this, I didn't read your post properly!

Last time I saw "FUSE" on my dash I had just connected the jump leads in reverse and blown one of the main fuse links on top of my battery. I'd also fried my gearbox ECU, costly mistake! Check those fuse links and all your other fuses then do a fault code read to see if all your ECUs are okay.

You mean to check all fuses?
I have connected OBD2 but it shows no codes. :(

My next move would be to put a new battery in.
Re: 2001 Audi A3 electrical problem
Battery is 2 months old. Don't think it's old enough.
When this problem happened I change it straight away.

Maybe this would help to diagnose the problem:

It makes this strange sound and "resets" the dash every 10 seconds.
