Hi folks,
Just had to rejoin as couldn't for the life of me remember my log-on details!
Used my 2007 A4 2.0 TDi Avant at weekend with no problems, and just went out today and won't start.
Initially the remote central locking worked to open the car, then when I put ignition on, I noticed nearly all of the dash lights weren't coming on. Tried to start and car fired up, then died after a few seconds.
Tried disconnecting battery but hasn't helped, in fact the remote central locking is no longer working!! I notice the radio is in 'safe' mode also.
Is this pointing to an immobiliser fault? Have done a few searches and appears that there is a common issue within the instrument cluster although more seen on A3's? I have also seen that there are place you can send the cluster off to, to be repaired?
Any feedback, advice or similar stories welcome!
Thanks
Ross
