what does MIL stands for?

 

Hi, Its another way of saying Malfunction Indicator Lamp.

 

oh,thanx! lol. how do that lamp look like?

 

Usually it will show up on your instrument cluster illuminated as, "MIL" or "Check Engine". Most Audis use the "Check Engine" inidcator and its usually on the instrument cluster just inside of the speedometer cluster. If you turn the ignition key foward, without starting the engine you should see it illuminate for a few seconds...this is done just each time prior to starting as a test to ensure it has not been disabled or in need of service.

 

ok.. well,cant recall i have seen that on my car:-)

 

Turn your ign to on don't start the car and they should all light up. The check engine light is a yellow engine with a lightning bolt going through it. I guess that's German Humor for ZAP!! Your fucked!!!

 

maybe! haha. but seriously,i cant recall that light on my car.. i'll be off to work in 45 min so i will look for it. i dont have the led display on my car thou.. do you have a foto of where it should stay? maby i a bad bulb?

thanx

 

I would think it's more likely that the previous owner disconnected it. Pull the cluster out and have a look.

I'll tell you I've thought of doing it a couple times but I always just fix the thing. I wouldn't mind putting a switch on it though. However I travel with a scanner. AUDI SCANNER don't leave home without it!

 

if it's disconnected,i't don't suprise me.. that ******!:-)

 

well,the bulb was gone,så i installed one,but no light.. maybe that function is'nt on my car,or there is somthing else that's been disconnected.
