Audi A4 Dashboard Fault Icon

themullet

Hi Folks,

I was just wondering if somebody might be able to help. I bought a second hand Audi A4 last week which didn't have a manual. Anyway over the last two days Faults have been appearing on the display at the speedometer. Of Course, with out the manual I haven't a bloody clue what they are. Can somebody please help and tell me what they are and if there's any way if clearing them. Thanks in advance

The 2nd one is definitely a speed warning, which is set in the on-board computer, so it's probably beeping at you when you go over a certain speed. Not sure how to un-set it on an A4, try scrolling through the on-board-computer menus, see if you can find it.
The other one looks like a blown-bulb warning, though not so sure.

both correct Joey. You must have a blown bulb some where on the motor. The second one is from setting a speed warning at a certain speed. This can be reset but off the top of my head I don't know how...

If you go into the computer there is a "speed warning" option, you just need to turn it off.

My mind has gone blank as it's been a while since I had the Audi but it's easy enough.

If you type in Audi A4 manual pdf into Google you will no doubt be able to print off a full manual.

i feel your pain i too had an audi a4, but my car had a different warning light coming on the dash every week. i once brought it for a diagnosis and the tester said there was 19 faults found on my car and reset them all, a week later they started coming back. when i was selling it i had to pray no light would come on while people were test driving it.i hope you have a better time with your a4.
good luck!!
