stiven.mirashi Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I have a 2010 A3 1.2 tfsi. It was working fine two days ago. Yesterday I didn't drive anywhere. Today I get in to go for a drive and all of a sudden my dashboard wont light up. The radio, interior lights and everything else is working except the windows don't go down using the switch, but if I put my keys in the key slot on the door they function as should. When switching the key, engine starts, cuts off after two seconds, and then the starter keeps going until I remove the key. I've checked all the fuses and they are all fine. I tried scanning any codes and got the following: 06260: Valve for torque support bearing short circuit to positive 06068: No description 11830: No description 11003: No description 06093: No description 10444: No description Any idea what might cause this? Since all my fuses are good, I'm thinking a fox has eaten some cables since I don't have an undertray. Also, I did see a relavent topic posted on this forum page and they mentioned that there is a wiring loom by the battery tray that might get worn out from the way the battery is sitting. I haven't checked that one yet since It just happened and it's night, but I will do so in the morning and edit this post if that turns out to be the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

cliffcoggin Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Unless you have a high quality code reader I suggest you ignore it and get the car scanned professionally. Most cheap domestic code readers are so misleading as to be worthless. There are a few possible causes for your problem that include a defective battery, a faulty instrument panel, and a faulty ECU amongst others, but you will not know without testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution stiven.mirashi Posted October 28 Author Solution Share Posted October 28 Got it fixed. Don't ask me what was wrong with it. I simply disconneceted the battery to check the wiring loom the guy on this forum was talking about, then reconnected it after seeing that nothing wrong with it and it was all working. Got esp light and power steering light but just did a full lock on both sides with the steering wheel and they went away. Thanks for the time you took to reply cliffcoggin, and also anyone else reading this topic. Hope your fix will be as simple as mine 🙂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Cars do not repair themselves, so be prepared for something similar to happen again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
