A3 3.2 V6

[Audipip]

My A3 dash lights do not work although everything else does, the engine fires up but dies immediately, I have disconnected the battery and reconnected, check all fuses!
Any ideas please

I think the engine not running is more serious that the dash lights

did this suddenly start happening or does it coincide with something else.

Sounds like it needs recovering to a garage for investigation.

should this be in the 8P section? Immobilizer?

If engine starts and then cuts out after 10 secs or so then then vehicles Immobiliser is kicking in. You need someone to scan the vehicle to see what's going on.

*might be an idea to get this moved to the 8P section.

Yes usual immobiliser problem

I would test another clocks to see if they light up 1st, if so then try yours again, but ATM it's looking like a replacement set of clocks.

Whereabouts are you located?
