The first thing I'd do is a VCDS scan and see what the DTC's are.
It might be something as simple as a low battery, but without any additional information it's difficult to say.

I second what jakematic suggested. While I myself have not yet purchased VCDS, I plan to soon. With BMW I was coding and retrofitting for years so I know how useful it is to have dealer-esque tools at your own disposal.

Also - BMW's are notorious for throwing random codes where there are battery or charging system problems - feels right that Audi would be similar.

I have an A6 2012 with these same three faults that appeared suddenly. The Audi dealership here has not been able to sort this out. Did you manage to find out what the problem was? Would really appreciate if you could share your find.
Thanks

Did you find an answer?
Driving into work; I had no problems whatsoever. I sat down to drive to a training module 5 miles away; started the car- and got these warning lights.

Ought I go change out a battery and see if that fixes it?

So; a quick OBD2 connection pulled diagnostic code P0106 Manifold Absolute Pressure / Barometric Pressure Circuit Range / Performance Problem.

Do I read that this is a sensor in the box with the ECU and may just need to be replaced? Oh dear God I hope so.

You need to do a full, proper scan with VCDS. OBDII is missing a lot, and what you got from it doesn't explain your problems.

So I am certain Audi is marking this up considerably and I'm a little taken aback by $170/hr shop rates... The codes were all being caused by an intake camshaft sensor. $82 from Audi and 2.5 hours to install. Could an intake camshaft position sensor cause those faults!? It doesn't even seem related.

I am having this same issue as Warren allen, but I am getting no basic setting fault for address 3b and address 34 is saying Active shut off. Would a bad yaw/combi sensor cause this fault?
