  1. Thanks for any suggestions given. The car has since behaved itself- that's over 2 weeks without the intermittent fault showing up. I suspect a poor earth, or poor connection somewhere.

    If I eventually find the cause/solution I shall let you guys know

    Congratulations on a friendly and helpful forum. So many forums these days are beleaguered with sarcastic, damaging or unhelpful posters.

     

    Regards

  2. Thanks Clifford and Gareth both very positive replies. I had assumed because the auto electrician was talking about a "weather seal" that this particular multi-pin was somewhere under the bonnet - eg bulkhead or fuse/relay box connector etc.

    However, you are right Gareth - I have already placed a call to the auto electrician and am waiting for his reply. Like you I suspect the steering column stalk.

    I had also heard that the A3 post-2010 no longer has a separate flasher unit???but I know nowt 'bout this.

    The outcome will be for the 'lece to determine,.

    In the meantime - the car has been OK for 2 days. uhh I hate intermittent faults.

  3. Hello, we have an intermittent fault with the indicators on our 2012 A3 Sport. On selecting right-turn, sometimes the LEFT lamps flash FIRST (once, maybe twice), before the right lamps flash.

    Recently we had a major issue with most dash lights coming on - like a Xmas tree - though the car drove normally! The auto electrician found a poor weather seal on a multi-pin plug/socket

    (like a fool I did not ask him where), he said the pins were corroded - he cleaned it all up and all was fine. Now we have the indicator issue, I'm thinking "I wonder if the indicator wiring runs through this multi-pin?" - seems to me the first place to look again.

    However, there may be an inherent Audi weakness - steering column switch? flasher unit sticking?

    Thanks for any comments/suggestions
