Hello steelster welcome to Audi Forum,

Have you checked for any fault codes?. I'd suggest you to first check for any fault codes, so that the proper cause of the malfunction can be diagnosed & to make sure you don't start spending a lot of time & money in the wrong place. Hope you get it fixed it soon.

Hy steelster,

You are welcome. But Yes, it would be unwise to start spending a lot of time & money in the wrong place. So i'd suggest you to get expert advice like taking your car to your Audi Service or your local mechanic to exactly diagnose what went wrong and get it fixed. Hope you get it fixed soon
