Default Audi A6 strange electric fault

Hey! I have a problem with a 1998 Audi A6 2.4 4door sedan '

What happens is the following. When the car is running and driving, the low-oil warning lights can turn on, the ABS lights up and the tachometer stops. and that the ac compressor is disconnected so I have no ac in the car. This happens on and off. Ex today I could drive about 50km before the problem began. If I turn off the car then restart it, the error will remain. Most often the error disappears if the car is allowed to stand overnight. Anyone who can let me know where to start troubleshooting.

Get it scanned for codes with VCDS or similar Audi Specific scan tool. Pull codes and proceed from there.
