i have a question on this problem... the other night, i tried to turn on my headlights, but they don't work... also at the same time, my winshield wipers and air conditioner does not turn on... the parking lamps work and i had to hold the high beams manually on to drive home that night... i thought it was a fuse issue, but it seems that all the fuses are ok... does anyone have any input on what is going on??? help? electrical???

 

sounds like you're car is asking to go back to the dealer... damn keep us updated on wut the problem is...

 

I have a 1998 A6 Q that does the same thing. After starting the car I have to pull the key back slightly towards me, just a bit. Some weird ignition thing going on. Let me know if that works for you!

 

Very common problem. Replace your ignition cylinder (the part you insert your car key into). $170 to get it replaced at the dealer.
