Car starts with "OK" in yellow - but when "check" pressed shows 2 items in RED
 

Hi folks,

I just bought a 2008 A4 2.0T - unfortunately it did not come with a manual. When I start the car, I get an "OK" in yellow and all is good...but when I press the "check" button, I see the screen below show coolant & oil both in red, after which they disappear - I checked both coolant & oil levels and they are fine, as the car has been serviced by Audi 2k earlier...someone told me the OK needs to display in green, so should I be worried?

Thx

mine shows ok in green. as long as the the other lights disappear, you're ok.

Yes they disappear...upon start everything disappears and OK in yellow is displayed - it's just when I press the "Check" button that I see OK in yellow on top and coolant in red, then oil in red, then they all disappear...have you ever seen the OK display in yellow?...is it possible that I may not have a multi-color DIS?

oh and you can try this link, you may find it useful if you dont have the manual. it's not the same model but at least most of the symbols may be the same.

Thx but I don't have the trip computer...but this is what I see when I press the "check" button

mine looks exactly like this pic... http://www.tyresmoke.net/attachments/701560-dis.jpg

hmmm... If this is exactly what you see, I think we may have different kinds of displays...

anyway, the photos you attached simply means that the computer has gone thru the low coolant and low oil check. which is why at the end it says ok.

OK thx...yes I don't have the color DSI, just the red one...thx for your help !

glad to know everything's ok.

let's wait for the others to speak up as I am not 100% sure of what i have just said LOL! well, just to be safe...

OP, just to be certain.. did you check the shelf under the steering wheel for the manual? When I bought my car used I had to show the (Non-Audi) salesman where it was!
