Why You Can't Read the Oil Level Correctly on an Audi Q5

Model: Audi Q5 MK 2, 80A - Years 2017-2025
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video, see how a sophisticated system like the oil level reading on the Audi Q5 can fail for a seemingly trivial reason: the first thing to do if the reading is not clearly correct is to check that the hood switch and the hood latch are functioning properly. The system works if it detects that the hood is open; if it does not receive this information, it will not provide an accurate oil level reading. If you determine that this is the issue, go to the front left of the vehicle and disconnect the switch to simulate that the hood is open: then proceed to replace it. The part is available on eBay with the code 204269779373 for $58.66, with free shipping.
