The cluster isn't actually completely dead as the topic states (sorry) - the warning lights, indicators etc work, but nothing else. I'll have a go at disconnecting the cluster and do another scan. Thanks for the info. They actually only just stopped making the citi golfs. Can't believe they...

Thanks Nigel. I looked all over the engine bay for any damaged wiring or loose connections and couldn't find anything that looked damaged or loose. Where is the CE board? hahah regarding the "unit failure" I was being sarcastic :) I expected them to be able to give me a little more information...

Blue Thunder - I'm pretty sure that's not possible on mine. I've never seen that kind of option and I've played with it loads. It's definitely ******** - the speedo and rev counters are stuck... Thanks Khufu - good to know. The manager at the dealership recommend I get in touch with Audi SA...

Riiiiiight, so Audi quoted me R17000 (1700 quid) to fix the problem!!! oh - and R650 to tell me about the raping they have planned. All the monkey on the phone could tell me was that the cluster needs replacing due to - wait for it - "unit failure". WTF is that? The first mechanic I went...

Actually planning on getting a Jeep. Need something that can go off road and tow my dirt bike. Gonna miss the old girl...

Nice car Adam. I went from a 90s Honda Ballade to my TDI. Had it for 3 years now and still love it. I went for HR -35mm springs and std dampers on mine. Made a big difference. much cheaper than coilovers too :)

I'll try disconnecting the battery tonight - see if it does anything. @consilio - I tried to find a consistency with the 'intermittent-ness' but it seems totally random. Was flickering on and off randomly while idling. Not working at all now. Rev counter is stuck on 1000rpm and speedo is stuck...

ok, so my mechanic says there's no damaged wiring i.e. it doesn't look like a rat chewed anything. He's quoted R5500 (apprx 550 pounds) to get the cluster 'fixed'. My dad (who was using the car while I was on honeymoon) swears it was 100% (barring a flashing handbrake light) when he last...

Hahahah I'm gonna get dat rat dat's what I'm gonna do

I like that... I'd leave the S Line badge though Did similar treatment to my pre-facelift 8P

Forgot to mention that I had checked all the fuses and they were all fine. I drove a bit more and the dials and odometer worked intermittently, but the DIS stayed dead. I checked in the engine bay and found some half-eaten acorns... seems a rat must've had a taste of the wiring loom... GRRR...

Hi guys, I hope someone can give me some ideas here. I just got back from my honeymoon and found that my speedo cluster is dead - only sign of life is a flashing handbrake light. The car drives fine, radio, aircon etc all work 100%. It's just the speedo cluster looks like the car is...

That's what I had in mind, just wondered if anyone had experience with the same issue

Hi guys, I had a similar problem about a year ago - my radiator fan wouldn't turn off, and it turned out the sensor inside the fan was ********. Replacing the fan solved the problem. Now the other fan stays on (smaller of the two behind the radiator). Can anyone confirm whether the same...

I have the 35mm H&Rs and the ride is good. Progressive, like Davie says. Almost feel softer than my SE springs under normal driving, but that 'semi-softness' gets firmer quickly. Cornering and turn-in is MUCH better than stock
