Hey, thanks for the quick reply! My car has already driven 79250 kilometers and the last service was three months ago. I haven't really had any problems with the Audi so far, except now with the battery and the lights. Your tip sounds good, I'll probably visit my trusted mechanic. Maybe he can give me a better idea of what's going on. Thanks again!

No problem, always happy to help! Given the number of kilometers and the last service, it could well be that the battery is simply giving up the ghost. However, a good mechanic should be able to determine this quickly. It could also be a faulty alternator that is no longer charging the battery properly. So, take it to the garage and have it checked. Then you'll know for sure and can drive safely again. And don't worry, these things happen, we're talking about technology here and, as we all know, it's not always perfect. I wish you every success!

Thanks, that's great advice! I'll have my car checked and hopefully it's just the battery that needs replacing. I hadn't even thought about a faulty alternator, but that might explain the flickering lights. Of course, technology always has its pitfalls. Thank you again for your help and words of encouragement, that really helped me. I'll get back to you with the results from the workshop. See you then and have a nice day!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Audi A4 (built in 2017). I'm not an expert, but I do have some experience with cars. My problem was that my vehicle did not set a shutdown command. It made me suspicious, so I took it to the garage. The mechanics there were really competent and solved it for 280 euros. It could be something similar in your case, but it's difficult to say without more detailed information about your car. Could you perhaps provide more details about your vehicle? Then I might be able to help you better. In a nutshell - get a good mechanic to take a look at it.
