If you need to reset a dashboard light or diagnose a fault on your Audi A3 we would advise you to go for the iCarsoft i908 Audi OBD code reader. Its an extremely popular choice amongst Audi owners worldwide because it covers such a wide range of modules within the vehicle and has received excellent feedback from buyers.

If you need a new sensors to fix your Audi A3 such as ABS sensor, MAF, camshaft & crankshaft, visit www.bavariandominator.co.uk.

Audi A3 airbag warning light - this light will illuminate when your engine is switched on and should turn off after around 4 seconds. If the airbag light in your Audi A3 does not switch off it indicates a problem within the airbag module. You will need to hook up an airbag code reader to find out where the problem is. More often than not it will be a loose connection behind the door card or seat. We recommend you use the iCarsoft i908 Audi OBD code reader kit to diagnose the Audi airbag trouble code or Audi airbag problem code. Once the code and problem have been reset the kit will allow you to remove the airbag light from the dashboard.

Audi A3 ABS Dash Light - the ABS light will show up on your Audi A3 when your ABS system develops a fault. This ABS warning light generally illuminates when an ABS sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced. There are 4 sensors within your Audi A3 which could well need to be replaced but which one? You need to use a diagnostic tool which reads the ABS system such as the iCarsoft i908 Audi OBD code reader. Once the correct ABS sensor has been removed the lights can be removed from the dashboard.

Audi A3 engine warning light - once the engine has started this engine warning light should turn off. If the light remains illuminated it means there is a malfunction within the engine management system and needs to be looked at straight away - any further delay could be causing damage to your Audi engine. You need to use a diagnostic code reader such as the VAG COM kit which will read out any Audi trouble codes or Audi problem codes which will give you a better idea of where the problem is located - it could be anything from a camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, injector problem or in need of a mass airflow meter replacement. Once the problem has been rectified and the trouble codes have been cleared the light will turn off.
Audi A3 battery warning light

Audi A3 battery warning light - if the battery warning light fails to turn off on your Audi A3 it means that the battery is not being charged. This could be due to the incorrect battery being installed, or it could be an alternator problem - this needs to be checked out by your local workshop as soon as possible.
Audi A3 parkbrake warning light

Audi A3 parking brake warning light (RED) - the warning lamp lights up when the parking brake is applied with the ignition on. After the ignition has been switched off the lamp will stay on for about 30 seconds. The warning lamp will light up for about 30 seconds if the parking brake is applied with the ignition switched off.

The warning lamp should go out when the parking brake is released. If the warning lamp flashes continuously after the parking brake has been applied, the brake may not be strong enough to hold the vehicle on a slope. This may be due to the brakes overheating.

Please note the following points:

• If the gradient is too steep to park the vehicle safely, the display will show the message Caution: Vehicle parked too steep.

• In the event of a fault in the parking brake system the symbol will also appear in the instrument cluster display together with the message Parking brake! You should have the fault corrected by a qualified workshop without delay.

Audi A3 EPC warning light (engine management light) - this will illuminate when the engine is switched on and the go out. If this light comes on when driving it indicates a fault within the engine management system. You need to retrieve the Audi trouble code and we would recommend using the iCarsoft i908 Audi OBD code reader from our Audi scan tool section. Once you have obtained the trouble code it will give you a better idea of what the problem may be so it can be fixed and the light on the dashboard extinguished. If your Audi needs a new sensor visit www.bavariandomnator.co.uk who have lots of Audi sensors in stock.

Audi A3 ASR warning light (traction control system) - this warning light will illuminate on startup then go out after about 2 seconds. The light will start flashing when your Audi A3 is moving if the traction conrtol system is activated. If this light is continuously set on it means that the system is switched off, or a malfunction has occured. Since this system works in conjunction with the anti lock braking system (ABS system) the ABS light will also illuminate. We advise you that the iCarsoft i908 Audi OBD code reader will allow you diagnose the fault and once the fault is cleared & fixed the lights will no longer illuminate.
