Three Beeps While Driving
Hello Audi World,
I hope you are doing well.
While driving my car it beeps three times and a large oil icon starts flashing in the middle of the dash.
I immediately stopped on the side of the road and waited for some time for the oil to drop to the bottom. I checked the oil level and it was at the lower end of the spectrum.
I topped off the oil and took off again. It beeped three times again after 4-5 miles of driving. By this time I was home. I checked the oil again and it was topped off.
The next morning I checked all fluids, steering, brakes, coolant, and oil again, all are at required level.
The car beeped again.
At this point in time I know I am driving the car when I am not supposed to. I got to Autozone and the codes are below.
I know many of you will tell me, do not attempt to drive again before checking the problem at the shop, and I plan on doing just that.
At all times, the coolant temp is normal at middle, oil temp is also at around 150 which is normal to the car before this happened, no boiling noises from engine or other noises.
May someone direct me on this issue, please.

All the codes on the printout are emissions related, leaking vacuum line(s), secondary air pump, and oxygen sensors for the turbos. The oil can was a low oil warning as were the beeps. Are you still getting the oil can display or only the beeps? You should probably get a VCDS scan (Audi/VW specific) clear the codes and then see what comes back, if anything. The AutoZone scan though helpful, will not scan all the systems on Audi. An independent shop that has a lot of Audi experience should be willing to help out for a nominal fee or maybe another Audi DIY type in your area. Get your own scan capability from RossTech. Google them and look at their site to see what's available. You could also attempt a "hard reset" by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnect. Some codes may go away if you do this, but not necessarily. Worth a shot.
