Hi ppl
Got an issue with my on board computer on my A3 Quattro ... well, two issues actually:
1) The display keeps registering the drivers door as open when it is firmly closed. This is not an issue when driving, only that the lights in the skirting of the door remain on as do the interior lights so have to turn them off. But when locking the car, the alarm doesnt kick in cos it thinks the door is still open, though it locks OK
2) The fuel gauge often resets itself to zero, both the dial and the OBC display .. so even when I fill the tank it still doesnt register any fuel in the tank. Both these problems have only cropped up recently.
Anyone have the same problem/any advice on how to resolve them?
Thanks
Jay

 

sounds like you have a bad ground, start with the driver door switch

 

You'll need to goto the dealer.

Its all controlled VIA computer soooooooooo most likely one of the programs or sensor went bad. Nothing you can do

Thanks for the advice ... will get it seen to
