oil sensor may be faulty or no or low oil pressure can be oil pump or low oil

look behind the panel in the boot and their is a plastic filler plug and the level is marked on teh side as i remember

their should be a tool kit in your car with directions to stick a tool somwhere in the mechanism and turn or unlock certain steps as you close and lock the top secured in place manually.

Ignition Switch, timing belt, alarm all kinds of things could be wrong. Check for fire, fuel and compression, and submit the contact form at www.onlinewrench.com and they will be happy to help you :)

engine temp sensor, i had the same problem on my 04 audi a6, the part was 20 bucks at autozone.

CHECK COOLANT LEVEL IN RADIATOR. BUT WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE COOL DOWN. CHECK WATER PUMP.IF YOU SEE COOLANT LEAKING FROM WEEP HOLE REPLACE WATER PUMP. REPLACE THERMOSTAT AND RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP WHEN CAR OVERHEATING IF CAR AT A STANDSTILL IN LONG TRAFFIC LINE OR MOVING SLOWLY.COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAULTY.NOT TURNING ON COOLANT FAN.CHECK COOLANT FAN FUSE AND RELAY.IF ALL IS GOOD.HOTWIRE COOLANT FAN.IF COOLANT FAN DONT COME ON FAN MOTOR FAULTY.IF FAN COMES ON CHECK ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTOR FOR DAMAGE WIRES.

Sounds like the heater radiator core under the dash has sprung a leak. Temporary fix to keep the cooling system operating is to bypass the heater by disconnecting the hoses where they go through the firewall and linking them together.
It's usually a big job to remove the under dash ducting to access the heater core, remove it, get it repaired and then replace all the bits.

A strong suspect is a vacuum leak in the system.
If it is an emissions related leak the engine light will also come on.
The power brakes can also be affected by a leak.

With the engine light on, it stores a failure code. If you take the car to a mechanic he can use a code reader to determine where the failure is ocurring, helping to isolate where the leak might be. They typically have a few tricks for finding vac leaks.

If you are a do it yourselfer, you can borrow a code reader at Schucks to reveal the failure as well. Then the work begins to troubleshoot and track down the leak, most often a cracked hose.

Good luck.

I replaced my globes not so long back.
The metal clip you simply push down. Replacing the left light is challenging as the air intake is in the way but its not impossible. After removing the clip there is a plastic cap. Remove it.
Then remove the cable that feeds power. You should be able to see the rear of the 'globe'. There is another spring loaded metal clip holding the 'globe' in place. Push the two ends of the clip together to remove this clip. The globe should be free now. Remeber the globe go in a specific way, so take note. I bought to Halogen globes for my Audi as these immitted a stronger beam. Please, whatever you do DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW GLOBES GLASS. The natural oil from your fingers will impact the lifespan of these and you'll have to replace these again. Remember to also reallign the beams.

this car is fitted with a"fuzzy logic "gearbox it will change to the lowest ratio for economy, naturally, if you drive "like an idiot"it will learn your style of driving and change accordingly..... is it possible you have just aquired this car or have several drivers using it?.....a squeek is something else,try bouncing car whilst someone crawls around underneath,control arms rareley make any noise...

Check your fuse box....unless you hear it trying to close or open, function whatever... but im sure you have a blown fuse. especially if they stoped working at the same time.

SOUND LIKE PROBLEM IS IN THE SENSOR.

Ensure the boot is fully locked. reset alarm system by opening and relocking drivers door. unlock car, start engine, handbrake on and in nutural, try electric roof again. good luck

Yes but it is VERY expensive, the parts cost between 800-1000.00 USD alone.
