I am new to the vcds world, but have been doing basic maintenance on my cars for a while now. Recently my Audi has developed an error where it says that my oil level is low when I have been idling for extended periods of time (in heavy traffic) this is coupled with the air vents blowing hot air even when A/C is on low (only the far left and right vents) leading me to believe it is a safety feature when oil is presumed low. However, low oil is not the case. The levels are right between the max and min levels on the dipstick. I ran an autoscan this morning while the error was on. I have pasted the diagnostics to this post. I have looked into some of the faults with limited comprehension. Any advise on this issue would be appreciated!

Not 100% sure this is your fix, but there are firmware updates for this cluster. You are at software level 0630 and the latest looks to be 0670. The Oil Level Thermal Sensor (G266) is wired to the Instrument Cluster, so this might be resolved with a firmware update from the dealer.

Thank you for the quick reply! I have heard around various forums that if you take your car to the dealer they won't just update the firmware without a valid TSB. What would you suggest to get that update done?

SVM code is NA4F90MY02

Unless things have changed since I left the dealer:

The factory scan tool couldn't check and let you know of a firmware update... you have to know a specific code and it would see if the given control module qualified for that type of update.

Closing out old threads...These issues are no longer. The oil level low indicator was in fact accurate, the valve covers have been leaking slightly and this had brought oil levels below comfort levels on the sensors. Whenever the level trips on the sensor I have been topping up with a quart until I can scrape enough together for valve cover gasket replacement. The AC blowing hot air was actually due to the heater control valve. The valves had a small bit of rust preventing them from moving properly, and after cleaning I have had no issues with AC.
