Default HELP MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

Thanks You for the other answers, I was laid up with Pneumonia for over a month and didn't see much of my computer. I have another problem The Auto check lites do not lite up correctly, When I press the button or start the car red and then yellow triangles appear in the display, 4 of each color with 2 to the left side 2 to the right. Are these the Priority lites the owner manuals speak of. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A HEALTHY ONE!

Default Pressing the button is just a test cycle. The warnings will only light ...

in normal use if there is a problem.

All you should see is the bulb check warning on startup, then after you have pressed the brake pedal you should get the OK.

Default Yes, I understand what you have described,

but about every second or third start, I get this "pattern" instead of the OK, as I said it is 4 rectangles come on read and then change to yellow? Also, I started getting a check engines lite the other day or a pollution systems light as the owners manual calls it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Default The fault on the display is simply a fault on the LCD panel....

this happens on my old 100 every so often. Just ignore it.

The check engine light needs investigation using a VAG-COM.

Default I am having the check engine lite checked

on friday, as well as a oil change. Thanks for the info on the display, funny thing it only seems to happen when my wife turns on the radio before she starts the car? When the radio is off the display is normal? I told her not to turn it on especially in this very cold weather.

Default Turning on the radio first will not make the problem worse. it is just poor contacts on the board...

that drives the LCD display.
