Hi, I have a problem with my a4. its happening after few minutes of drive (20minutes)
Symptoms:

  • PRNDS Display: Randomly starts flashing or disappears entirely from the instrument cluster.
  • Instrument Cluster: Gauge needles (RPM, Speedo) bounce or drop, and "Oil Pressure" warning pops up despite sufficient oil levels.
  • Trigger: Usually occurs under load (acceleration) or during gear shifts
  • Recent Repair: Replacing the Power Supply Relay (Relay 614/J271) stabilized the car for 1.5 days, but the issue returned.
Diagnostic Codes (VAG-COM/KDiag):
  • P1881 – Acceleration Signal missing message.
  • 01312, 01314, 01315 – Data Bus drivetrain communication failure (ECM/TCM/ABS).
  • P1626, P1648, P1682 – Missing messages from Transmission and ABS modules.
  • P1852, P1854 – Implausible messages on the drivetrain bus.
can you help me please?
thank you
