SME Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Stupid question alert!!! I have a 2006 A3 2.0 TDI. Only had it a few weeks and I have noticed that when I turn the headlights on there is no headlight symbol on the dash, is this normal? High beam comes on when I put lights up, but no green light to indicate if lights are on or not. The lights all work and the switch illuminates when you turn lights on, but nothing on the dash. It's my first audi, had a few golfs in the past, always had the light on the dash with every car I've owned. Mot due in march so want to make sure it's normal before I take it somewhere to look for it!!! Cheers, Sarah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Mine is a 2007 model and has the main beam and dipped beam lights on the dash. I would expect yours to be the same. Do all the other warning lights illuminate when the ignition is first switched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquirrel Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have a 2010 2.0 TDi, and mine only has the blue full beam symbol too. The only notification I have of lights being on, is the light switch itself lighting up where it is pointing, but you can't see it, because your right hand is in the way! Same goes for the front and rear foglights, no visible sign on the dashboard. Seems to be a bit of an oversight really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffcoggin Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Sarah. Apologies for an error I made yesterday. My A3 only has the blue main beam lamp on the dash. I was thinking of my wife's Berlingo when I said there was a green dipped beam lamp. Sorry to mislead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Thanks Cliff, I was just worried there was something else wrong with my nightmare car, I think it was you who commented on my bonnet problem, a couple of weeks back, since then starter motor went so took it in and they sorted both problems, picked it up today and bonnet still wont open, so back to the garage I go!!! Fortunately it wont cost me anything this time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I was wondering what the outcome of the bonnet release problem was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
