Not sure. Have you checked the owners manual?

Hi Nick

A google search revealed this Audi Workshop Manuals - A3 (Mk1) - "dEF" display on trip recorder

not the best news then i guess

''if DEF appears, replace it''

D'oh. I'd go back to the garage and ask what's happened....

Thanks for the posts pple, ****... trouble is the mechanics a mate and he says it was there when i gave him the car... I know it wasnt... awkward!

so that manual goes up to 1999, mines 2000/2001 s3 so maybe it may be different? chances are it wont be but just maybe? was planning on selling the car this week! d'oh she obviously wants to stay!

Have you had it scanned with VCDS to check for errors & a possible reset ...don't use your "friend" to do this - he obviously doesn't have a scooby?

out of interest: if the panel is replaced will it automatically pick up the correct mileage from memory, or will it need reprogramming? anybody?
