Jack was from a dealer on Amazon and the puck was from Ebay, which is for a A3/S3 8V(apparently lol) A question though, is there any...

    What are these items on the drivers information display when starting up ?

    Hello Might be a stupid question but does anyone know what the items are in the pic below(see the red arrow) ?. Cant find any info on them anywhere. They always appear when I turn the ignition and start up. 10 or so seconds later they disappear. I own a A3 8V 2.0 TDI Thanks
