Looks like an error to do with the self-levelling headlights to me.

It's probably because the car is on its side.






You will have to relearn the level with the Vagcom. Then the fault will go away. Probably.

Audi are useless
I rang them again saying forum says that audi dealer can plug in and do via Vag Com or VCDS
They said forums are usually youngsters that haven't a clue.

What are you trying to achieve other than proving that ever single Audi dealer knows nothing. Which we already know.

VCDS for sale in forum, £200. Buy it cause you have loadsa <beep> on your car by the sounds of it scatrat. That way you don't have to keep calling Audi.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

I'll help if I can. But you're going to need access to a Vagcom.
