A series of Faults just appeared, look familiar?

Post by DXB_RS6 » Sun Jun 25, 2017 1:30 pm

2014 Model.

While driving with full traction off.
Not particularly driving aggressively but also not slow.

The lights started flashing one by one. Stopped and restarted and they still appear.

Has anyone faced this problem?

Cheers. Image

Try charging your battery. I get all sorts of errors when my battery is running low.

But he was driving Mike, battery should be all good. Unless his battery is on its way out (3 years old now)

Update: I stopped for lunch and came back now all the faults have gone. I'll take it to the dealer this week for a check.

I agree it doesn't make sense. When i had my amp / sub in the boot I got a load of errors like this once, and had a suspension fault come on permanently. VCDS said it was the front right level sensor. Spent hours stripping down the front right hand side trying to find the level sensor, without luck. Turns out there isn't one on the front right unless you have the air suspension. Anyway, clearing the faults didn't help, it would come back on immediatley. The only way i managed to clear it was by charging the battery. I removed the amp and subs shortly afterwards and occaissonally top the charge up and not had any errors since.

I got most of these faults when I was trying to hard wire a dash cam into driver side fuse box. Maybe check the fuses? Loose earth or something maybe.

I had similar faults come up, turned out to be a suspension air compressor.

That could be it. The last few weeks I've heard the suspension make a funny noise when going over speed bumps.

I had something very similar a few months back when driving in "old man mode" at 70 in cruise control. It started with a "sports differential fault", the it must have thrown up 7-8 "failures" including adaptive headlights and parking brake failure. It still drove fine, but I stopped as soon as practical and realised the parking brake was indeed not operational. A full engine shutdown and restart fixed it. I put it down to a power surge or transient issues. Car was 16 months old when this happened. Not happened since. Will mention when it goes in for it's first service.

No oil change in 16 months? :shock:

funnily enough it just popped up a message saying the oil change was due in 21 days (13500 miles on the clock, C7 FL). is this abnormal?

Mine said I needed oil at 9000 miles (about 10 months). Think it depends on what type of service they set you up with. Some people.said they had no service until 18000 miles!

I see - glad I am not unusual. Of course how one drives it may also have a part to play!

I am at 21,000km and 13 months of ownership and the on-board computer says 6,000km or 250 days left until my first oil change.
