Audi technical service bulletin 134020345501 for 2011-2013 Audi A3.

Bulletin number
134020345501
Component
Electrical system: instrument cluster/panel
Summary
The instrument cluster is pre-programmed to allow a maximum service interval of 15,000 kilometers, and checks to see that this value is not exceeded. The US market uses a service interval of 10,000 miles, which is equal to 16,000 kilometers. Because this value is higher than the maximum allowed service interval, the discrepancy causes the DTC to set.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 10 complaints in the electrical category.
