A3 driver informatiom

[Matta3sline]

Hi guys just brought my 1st audi. It's a 2006 2.0tdi a3 sportback service line 140bhp.

After messing round with the dash I noticed if I held the left button by rev counter I got some symbols about oil pressure ect. Should I be worried that coolant. Oil pressure. And brakes come up on this display. The car drives fine and no lights on the dash when car is started or moving thank

Hi Matt...welcome to the Club!

You didn't press that button did you?  Oh dear!

It is probably the service reset button .... see link for videos of how to reset to see if this is the button you are referring to

Thanks mate thats probably what i have done plugged vag com in and only got 1 fault code 

[Trevor]

What code was it?

[Matta3sline]

The code is p0234 and yeah i may try what ones best mate 

[Trevor]

You could try running turbo cleaner through the engine as the variable vanes tend to gum up

[Matta3sline]

Do you know what cleaner is best ideally one that works through intake as don't have ramp thanks

[Trevor]

The ones listed at the top of the page on the link (below) are ones that I was looking at some time ago but never got round to trying them...may need to research the application procedure but I have heard they work well.

Also, picture shows vanes all gummed up
