New 2.8 QS Owner - All selector lights on, no problem shifting

[rory_pamphilon]

Hi,

I recently took the plunge and jumped from a C5 A6 to a lovely silver 2.8 Quattro Sport which has 87k on the clock and looks in good condition.

Very few problems with the car but usually every morning when the car is cold and damp (underground garage but near sea) and I start it up all the lights on the gear selector display on dials stay lit. This usually goes away later if I restart the car or its been used during the day and is warmed up.

I notice absolutely no problems with performance, shift speed, shift pattern etc, tip works fine although obviously I cant see what gear I'm selecting when all lights are lit.

Any ideas what may be causing this? It sounds a little like corrosion of some electrics due to the warm/dry state causing issue to disappear but I have absolutely no idea where to start.

Any advice greatfully received

Will post pics shortly if anybody interested.
