Default Electrics Problem

Hey Guys

I was doing a little shopping last night and locked the car as usual. When I came back out and opened the car via the fob I noticed my interior lights never came on but my boot lights did.

No problem I thought, maybe a blown bulb has tripped the rest but then I proceeded to start the car and reverse out my space, this is when the real problems start.

NO DYNAMIC STEERING, to be clear the power steering still works but its heavy as hell, and still no lights and or horn

Checked all my fuses and they are fine, took it to my local garage where my mate works and ran a diagnostic with VAG software and no issues are flagging up

Any help or ideas would be extremely useful thanks

are any of the check engine or other alert lights on? there has to be some errors.. because it sounds a bit like Limp mode, and more electrical failure.

There are no lights visible, when I start the car all the lights do come on then go off as they should, but since I posted his original thread I called an Audi garage and spoke to a technician, explained the situation and he didn't even know what the hell I was talking about
