weird light on dashboard and I'm scared now....

Post by white23 » Thu Jan 21, 2010 2:50 pm

Does anyone know of an online location where I can look up fault codes?

Had a weird one this morning; it came on and off about 4 or 5 times and didn't stay. Hard to describe its a light symbol that isn't on constantly and to the left of the symbol is an arrow going up and down and 3 horizontal lines. I've checked all my lights are working, and they are and now I'm a bit lost...... :oops:

Sounds like a warning for the self-levelling system for the headlights. Have you got a vagcom?

I had this warning light recently when I swapped my DRC for H&Rs.
The control bar on the N/S/R had snapped as the car had gone lower. A quick bit of Duct tape later, all was sorted.
Audi want over £250 to replace both the front and rear, but I'm more than willing to stay with the cheap fix for the time being! ;)

Had this with mine also but for me it was the wires on the rear control bar thingy were they come out of the metal sleeve they are exposed for about 5cm to the connector plug - wires were slightly nicked..
