Re: Can you help ?
It sounds like the warning light is a weird symptom of an electronic problem somewhere in an ECU or the instrument cluster.
So it could be an immobiliser-related issue, or maybe even water ingress.

Re: Can you help ?
So went to mums this morning (in the works van) thought id try the car and it started first time WTF ??? ive left it there because obviously I dare not take it anywhere now encase I break down again. So what does anyone suggest please ??? If I call out the AA on Monday, I can only call them if the car wont start so its a gamble that it then doesn't start when they turn up, DO THEY HAVE THE TOOLS and skills to find whats wrong so at least I know ??? because I cant fix what I don't know is wrong, As a paying member of AA surely its there job to solve it or not? or will it be a case of they just take it to a garage then I have to put up with a garage trying to solve it and of course charging me for the benefit....Needless to save im P....

Re: Can you help ?
AA is mainly a rescue and recovery organisation though they will try and fix "simpler" problems, which yours clearly isn't.
Choose a decent garage, pick a time when they will be open for several hours and you have time to spare and drive there. If it dies en route call the AA.

Re: Can you help ?
before I do anything, I will fit the normal bulbs in the headlights again rather than all that electrical stuff with wires and fans that came on the upgraded lights that I fitted last year, as its only lights im assuming as I said before it wont be this but I agree its probably electrical so hey you never know that may well fix the issue, they should arrive tomorrow so I will give them a go before deciding my next move

Very wise, start from a default base. I hope you get it sorted out. Electrical problems are pain in the aRSe

Re: Can you help ?
Yes - when I bought my car it had this error and the car ran fine. It did need a jump start and produced this error plus TPMS errors but the car drove fine and all resolved before I picked it up (they did send it to Audi to fix).
Re: Can you help ?
ok all the lighting has been removed, as you can see they have been over heating as the black box thing on both lights have got very hot, again not saying this is the reason BUT still electrical related so piece of mind they have been removed, hoping the new bulbs arrived today so I can see, oh and the car started up first time again this morning.

Re: Can you help ?
So spoke to Audi, they cant advise which I knew anyway as they just want your money, told me to book it in for a diagnostic £60 all in, I said ok but wont it just show the error for the light on my dash anyway but she assures me it will pick up all faults ( is that true ?) but then I said to her what if the fault isn't happening at the time you look at my car, she said she doesn't think the error will show up ??? Now in order to get the car to them the car would have to be working anyway so it wouldn't probably have the fault when I arrive FFS, then the best bit is I did agree to book it in, gave them my private reg which I have on all cars ive owned and it came back as a car I owned 4 cars ago lol, so she now needs the chassis number or she cant book me in and of course I don't have that with me and the car is not home yet OMG I GIVE UP I REALLY DO lol, there must be a way of resolving this. Please if anyone has one of those error fault finding things in or around Bedfordshire could you let me know, id be willing to travel within reason to get to you and maybe on the day my car works I could bring it to you to see what you think as I am getting nowhere like this
