Hello
Hi Everyone. Just signed up !
I have just purchased a 01 A8L
I have a few bugs I need some help with.
1) My dome light, map lights, vanity mirror lights all work once in a while. Usually when i first start up the car, then they wont work at all. Is this a relay problem? or a module ? Can anyone tell me which relay it is that controls these so i can test it? I ordered the bentley manual but it isnt in yet.
2) Im also picking up 0 satellites on my nav.
Heres a pic from the dealership day i picked it up.

Re: Hello
I would wait for the Bently to arrive, and print out the wiring diagrams....it's an electrical problem, so you can track it down no problem if you know how electricity/multimeters work.
For your Nav, sounds like you have an open circuit between your antenna and the unit in the trunk. Either visually inspect it or get vag-com and pull the codes, it basically tells you exactly what the problem is.

Congratulations and welcome!
I sure somebody will chime in shortly regarding your electrical problem. Nice work ordering the Bentley, now for your next mission, you should procure VAG-COM. This way, you can read the codes when they come up and use the Bentley in conjunction to fix your car. :-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com">VAG-COM</a></li></ul>

You need vag-com for the Nav unit
A generic scanner will pull engine and transmission codes, won't pull all the other modules.
Getting the Bently and a quality cable from ross-tech (I would get one with dongle feature) is the best investment you can make.
Good luck!
