Indicator problem on S3

[simps22]

My indicators have suddenly decided to stop working and only flash once maybe twice once engaged. I am slightly confused as the hazard lights work normally. I went to a local garage this morning (not Audi) and the chap I spoke to made it out as though it was a big problem! I am clearly hoping this is not the case. Any ideas what may be wrong? Any advice appreciated.

Hazard light switch works! It's solely the indicators that don't work.
