    Instrument cluster and ECU fail - did I wreck them??

    Hi all, Just joined, hope someone could help me out here. I have a X-reg A4-B5 1.8 petrol non-turbo, with the late AVV engine code. I just had a big MOT bill (new wheelbearing, shocks, springs, track rod ends etc etc.) I did what I could myself, to save some pennies. One of the items...
