• The fuse panel is inside the cabin and is accessed by opening the drivers door and looking on the 90 degree angle of the dash. There you will see a little access panel. Take and remove that and you will see your fuses.

• Here is the diagram as well for you.

• You can go here to view/download a much larger diagram of the fuse panel http://minus.com/lKVSdCLsv1VUw

These are run by vacuum if I am not mistaken. My first step would be to locate the vacuum junction, and be sure each branch of the vacuum sysem was sound. If you need help with this, contact me and we'll try to walk through it together. One question, did you by any chance have someone open your driver's door with a slim jim, or something like that. I've seen that cause this problem more than once. If so, remove your dr. door interior panel. It may be as simple as reattaching a vacuum line.

Check starter motor funtionality and related wiring.

Try unlocking the car with the key on the passenger side and locking it again, that resets the alarm. Use the key to unlock the car, same problem on my Audi estate of the same age. Found out later one of the windows was still open and the sensor detected that.

The starter is on the right side ( passenger side in left hand drive cars ) behind the alternator. You must remove the alternator to remove the starter which means the car must be put into the service mode. Not an easy job but can be done in the driveway. Did mine a few months ago. The upper bolt is the hardest to get off. Only accessable from the wheel well.

Check the oil level is ok, change the oil if it hasn't been recently done.
Check operation of the oil press alarm sensor,
Check the oil pressure - using an independant oil pressure gauge if in doubt.

temp light goes off after starting but check your auxilary belt [ fan belt] could be head gasket or water pump get it pressure tested at a slow fit etc .....also check all hoses and at rear off head for leaks .hope this helps .

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your Audi radio from the car manufacturer, or from an Volkswagen dealer!

You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of programming for 1996 Audi A4 radio is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed. The radio is now ready for use!

Did you ever find a solution? I have the same issue.

• The 1.8L non turbo engine requires 3.4 quarts of 5 W 40 full synthetic (according to manufacturer specs) Always makes sure to start the vehicle after the oil change for a few seconds and shut it off, wipe the dipstick once and re-check the oil level it to make sure.

hi there,
i know on some of those models off a4 that the indicator stalk give problems if the hazard lights are working but the indicators are not than more than likley its the stalk or a intermitant relay problem..hope this helps

Sounds like you have a leaking heater core.

their isnt one and only the dealer can top them up with a special tool .if this is a 1996 then it does have a dipstick as it was about this time they changed ,their is a rubber bung on intermediate models fill to teh top here but if no bung then its a sp?cial tool to fill from below .

The cables are worn and the motor is slipping...it will need to be removed and adjusted.

No if it is the ABS pump and still no pressure after everything else then it is the ABS pump. It costs alot for the pump but doing it yourself is rather easy with a manual. I would try to find a replacement at a junk yard. Problem with my car, and your car, SPENDY parts. My ABS light is on but not out, mine will soon be replaced as well.
If you need help replacing let me know, but this is most likely your problem.
