i have 2 2000 A6's, and can't find the freaking owners manual for either of them.. wth?

anyways. i'm in the process of rebuilding one after hitting a deer. i am getting a dash light and don't know what it is. it's an alert triangle with a counterclockwise arrow around it. the motor starts and runs ok.. then after a few seconds it starts running rough and pops the ABS light and that light.. i'm just curious because i've never seen it. i'm not too worried about the rough running. it's kinda hung together. the motor hadn't been started since i hit the deer 14 months ago. it crushed the pressure pipe and wouldn't run. i replaced the pressure pipe and just wanted to make sure it would start without issue before i finish rebuilding the front end.

 

wow.. really? nobody knows that that dash light is??

 

It's the Electronic Stabilization Program indicator.

 

see if you can download the manual here ...

Yeah that light as II|1I|| said is the ESP. My ABS and ESP light come on together on very cold weather and stop working. Some folks here suggested to either get a new ABS control module (~$1200) or get it rebuild @ for example: http://modulemaster.com for roughly $300-$500.
However since you had an accident it could be sensor related too.

 

so it's a suspension module?

when i say hung together, i mean it. it doesn't have an air filter. the evolution filter was crushed in the accident, and i haven't replaced it yet. i wanted to make sure it ran before i spent $100 on another filter cone. no radiator, so i can't run it for more than 30 seconds. it starts and does high idle great. it's when it tried to go to low idle it starts sucking and surging and whatnot. i assume that will clear up when i get the diverters tightened up and a radiator.

 

no luck. i ended up here http://www.manualsforcars.com/manual...-2000.html.pdf which is a web page, not a pdf file..
