    What's going on!? The car was working fine two days ago. I didn't drive it yesterday, and I go to start it up today, and the car is dead. I call Audi roadside, they send someone to start it up. The car starts up, and now my fuel gauge is showing empty. I have a sign on the cluster saying I need fuel, and my ESP light is on..Yeah I'm GIAC chipped, but I've been chipped for 15,000 miles with no problems...do I just need to drive the car or wht?!

    Sent an affiliated company out to jumpstart it...no Audi mechanic or anything, just a rough collared, "pop a lock" guy familiar with unlocking and jumpstarting vehicles.

    That is something I noticed too, when I had my car REVO's the 3 times, my gas gauge went from 1/4 to empty, filled it back up and the issue was gone. As for the ESP, well, it sounds like your battery died and now your car is throwing some CEL's. Just take it to the dealership and they will fix it for you quick like.

    HTH.

    If the battery Died the ESP may come one and stay on for a about half hour and then maybe go away. It happened to me.
