Hi, I have had a problem which no one seem to be able to fix, it's a few things but all to do with the dash board, 1) you can drive along suddenly dash board beeps no warning lights all speedos go to 0 then the dash board either goes straight back to normal but sometimes completely dies for a few minutes leaving me with no indicators but the car still runs normally apart from this!! 2) sometimes u get in the car to start it, no dash board lights at all, you turn the Kay the cars starts then dies straight away, you have to leave the key in the ignition to wait for the dash lights to come on befor you can drive it, which has taken anything between a minute to 10,mins, I brought the car nearly 2 months ago it has been in and out the local garage and to audi them selves it has has a brand new dash been re programmed 3 times! Please can someone help me
Sounds like you have a grounding issue possibly a main grounding location. inconsistant grounding of the vehicles control module will cause erratic behaviours. check under the hood for ground locations containing multiple grounds at 1 bolt location.if different "experts" have attempted repair and failed chances are they are all looking in the wrong place.dash{interior of vehicle}..actual cause.{egine compartment or under side of vehicle..ie...ground locations.}good luck and safe motoring:>

Hi,
Thanks for using Fixya!
Sounds like you have an alternator problem. The alternator may have gone bad due to non use. Some parts inside may have rusted out and got damaged. Better bring your car to your local mechanic and have the alternator checked.
Have a wonderful day.

You have a bad camshaft sensor. It's located at the back of the driver side valve cover. Takes 20 minutes to replace. I had exact problem and this solved it.

Sounds like you have an alternator going bad. not producing enough voltage unless the engine RPMs are higher than Idle.
