    Instrument Cluster Going Off

    Hi all, I've a 2005 a3 2.0 tdi (BKD) on which the instrument cluster keeps going off, the mileage and centre display will just be blank and the immobiliser stops the car starting. If I disconnect the battery a few times it will eventually work and let me use the car until the next time it...
