Looks like you may need to drain some oil. Did you recently have it changed? It could be many things such as a bad sensor, too much oil, or it could even be that your car was parked on an incline when you checked it, causing the sensor to falsely read over filled. More information is needed, but I hope this helped.

When I had my 2010 A4 I had the oil change done and it gave me a message like this. I think I just let it burn off the extra amount because the message eventually went away. But im thinking you need to drain some oil if you changed the oil. If this happened randomly I would be worried about coolant contamination.

This is exactly why every car should come with a dipstick. I'd order one immediately. Ecs has a couple different kinds available. Until you get one I'd pull the drain plug (or use an extractor if you have one) and drain about a quart of oil and see what the sensor tells you after.

I have one. Checked it. Some fine. Good level
