Hi, I'm new here and have found this site very useful so far with loads of information on almost everything.
I have recently experienced a strange issue with my A5 cab. Had no issues with this car whatsoever, until now, right after we've had some heavy snow.
A few seconds after starting the car, I would first see the ESP, ESP off, TPMS and ABS warning lights coming on briefly a couple of times and then all would go off and be good until the next time I drive the car again.
This started getting worse now with more warnings and dashboard lights coming on while driving. The list follows:
1. "Caution Vehicle parked too steep" message
2. "Tyre pressure system malfunction" message
3. "Stabilisation control (ESC) fault" message
4. "Parking brake malfunction" message
5. "Brake fault"
6. Glow plug light flashing
7. Engine light on
8. Speedometer intermittently dropping to 0 while driving when above warnings appear
9. Cruise control not working when above warnings appear
Attached is an image of one of these messages.
Reading on this forum I have found cases of similar warnings appearing and replacing the ABS sensors resolved those issues, but my issue is intermittent without any specific pattern. I also have the glow plug light flashing and the vehicle parked too steep message which I can't find any advice on.
Any guidance or pointers will be appreciated. I will replace the ABS sensors today just to rule that out and will update this post with the outcome.
