Been googling for a while and having no joy. My A8's dash is alight with every warning under the sun - TPMS fault, ESP fault, parking break malfunction, air suspension malfunction etc. it's also not pulling, it's hard to get it past 40mph, very juddery when driving. Sometimes it won't let me put it in reverse.

Hoping my car had written itself off! Any ideas anybody? (Somebody? Please?)

Thanks for the reply. Ah, of course sorry. It's a 3.0 diesel. 2011 model , which makes it a D4(?)

Thanks Cupra. Obviously taking it to a dealer or independent is on the list of next actions. Was hoping people may have seen this so that I couid go in a little wiser or maybe even fix it quickly if it's something simple like a duff battery.

Volksmaster have two branches. One in Oldham and one in Bury. V

Very well respected VW and Audi specialist. If you go to the Oldham one, ask for Lisa or Mike and tell them Andy Vo with the black S6 / black Porsche sent you.
Will pop into bury tomorrow as its nearest to me. Will mentions names nevertheless.
