Keith f Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Hi I have had my Audi a6 (2019) for a year and a half now. Iv just had up 4 warning messages up on the dash and I'm just looking forward abit more info because the hand book isn't the best. Just says take it to a local dealer. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) I probably get these once every couple of months, and have done for last 3 years since the car was new. You always get all four warning messages. I think it can be when the camera gets obstructed / confused / shadows / bored. Anyway it always clears on start up, never had a hardware fail because of it. If you search on here, and other Audi forums you’ll find it’s a very common and usually benign problem. OP, is your message staying on? If so it would probably be a camera failure / alignment / calibration issue. Edited September 6 by jammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Hello Keith, Welcome, and thanks for joining. Straight from the school of eliminating the simple things first - if it were mine - I would be getting the battery efficiency checked, before delving further into more complex reasons. Halfords (shops) should be able to do this for you, and worth having the alternator output checked at the same time. Cars are now heavily dependent on monitored high efficiency batteries. Please come back to us with the test results, particularly if it is found to be substandard, since the forum should be able to offer advice on most cost effective replacement. Kind regards, Gareth.

Mines has been a day so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s staying on then it’s more likely an issue with the camera, thats why all the messages are faults with a system linked to it. Have you looked if there is anything obstructing the camera? Give the windscreen a good wipe in front of the camera. Edited September 6 by jammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
