Flashing glow plug indicator... then off?
Yesterday I was driving and the glow plug indicator light began flashing. I pulled off and shut down the car while I looked up the symbol. I later turned the car back on and it didn't appear again
I called my audi dealership today and they were a little surprised that it would come on but then go off again. I'll go for another test drive today.. but it does indeed seem weird this warning would appear only to later disappear.
Anyone else experienced something similar?

16706/P0322 Engine speed sensor - no signal
16955/P0571 Brake light switch (F) - implausible signal
17653/P1245 Needle lift sender (G80) - short to earth
17654/P1246 Needle lift sender (G80) - Implausible signal
17655/P1247 Needle lift sender (G80) - Open circuit/short to positive
