Hi all!
I bought a used 2004 Audi A6 a few months ago. Awesome car, very happy with it. Recently, 2 diagnostics issues have come up and I was hoping for some advice before I take it for service. Unfortunately, the car was originally from Quebec, so the owner's manual is in French (I will be purchasing once in English asap after these issues).
First, out of the blue, I frequently get this hair raising alarm beep with a red exclamation mark surrounded by brackets on the dash display. This is intermittent, that is, it comes and goes. At first I thought it had something to do with the tire pressure sensors, since it seems to happen going around a corner a lot, but what little I can gather from the manual, tells me it's something to do with the brakes. Can this be? If it was just a warning about the brakes needing service, would it really scream at me like that 10 times a day?
Second, and this has me concerned there's a problem, now there is a constant circle with a cross through, what appears to be a bomb in the middle of the dash (I only think it looks like a bomb because I'm pretty sure I can make out the French word for fuse in the owner's manual for this warning logo, maybe it's something else).
Can anyone help me diagnose these issues prior to going to a dealership for service so I have some clue what I'm in for?
Thanks in advance for any help.
