big problem or not?
Hi,everybody
I own a4 from 1996, this winter somthing strange is frequently happening
Dashboard light for ignition (car with key) is blinking in normal everyday
drive. This is occuring in varios periods and with no obvious reson. And
another info: sometimes stops after just several seconds, and sometimes
goes for minutes then stops. Any info appriciated.
Also this winter heating in the car is non existent. Engine warms up
normaly but there is no flow of hot air inside the cabin, from the air
disspensers comes out only cold air at any position of the switches.
Opinions??
Thank you all.

Engine immoboliser, the flashing means it cannot read the code from your
key, does the car start ok forst thing?
May need a new coil in the ignition barrel

Thermostat stuck? is it climate control? or maybe the cable has snapped that
allows the hot air to come in, and its stuck in the closed postion
Just some ideas

you are right, in last days I used my spare key extensivly and the
problem never showed up. I think as you say that my key is making
problems and I will try to see what is wrong.

I don't know(Is there just one thermostat in the car?). No, it has no
air conditioning, it is simple cold or hot air warmed off the engine.
Is there a possibility that something mechanical is broken behind the
central panel? How complicated is the operation of seeing that
problem? How can I prove that?
