– Coolant temperature/
coolant level
If the light flashes when driving, either the
coolant temperature is too high or the
coolant level in the expansion tank is too
low.
§
Pull off the road, lift the emergency
flasher switch lever up and turn off the
engine and let it cool down. For further
details see "Coolant temperature gauge”
on page 45 and 113.
§
Check coolant level. Top up as
necessary (see "Adding coolant", page
114).
- Engine oil pressure
If this light comes on, it indicates that the
engine oil pressure is too low.
Pull off the road and stop the engine
immediately, let it cool down and
check the engine oil level and add oil,
if necessary.
If engine oil level is normal, but the
light comes on again, do not continue
to operate the vehicle. This could
damage the engine.
Turn the engine off and contact the
nearest Audi dealer for assistance.
The oil pressure warning light is not
an indicator for low engine oil level.
To check the oil level, always use
dipstick (see page 105).
Engine oil pressure and oil
temperature gauge see page 46.
Make it a habit to have the engine oil
level checked with every fuel filling.
