AndyHY Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Afternoon all, I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather while we have it. I am new to this club so please bear with me. I am the owner of an Audi A6 Avant S Line (2012). Little help please. Sporadically, when driving, I will have multiple warning lights come on (TC, tyre pressure, coil light etc) as well as things like headlight adjuster fail, electric handbrake fail, loss of power and speedo/rev counter shut down. The only consistent condition that seems to trigger all of the above is when it is damp or wet weather. I am also able to trigger the warning lights by leaning over on the drivers side seat. Local garages are baffled and say it is probably a job for Audi. I am keen to avoid that bill so hoping someone here may have experienced the same and diagnosed the problem. Thanks in advance for any guidance. Edited May 12 by AndyHY Missed off model and age of car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the car 1 year ago so was 11 years old when I got it. I assume the battery will have a manufacture date on there somewhere.

Andy Hi get the battery checked at your local garage/Halfords start with the easy bit then work it forward from there, the next option is a scan and see which fault codes appear, if its not the battery it may well be a bad connection on the module under the seat/carpet.
