Year of Manufacture *: 1998
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1900 tdi

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a company to look at a audi a4 instrument cluster fault ,needles drop intermittently when driving, also intermittent fault on immobiliser,if immob light comes on with ignition car will start, if immob light doesnt light car wont start also driver info screen in center of cluster does not come on when immob light is not illuminated. Cluster repairs uk had cluster for 3 weeks then told me they could not test it, wont be using them again

Thanks mike.

You can trim a sheeps wool many times, but you can only fleece it once !

ACTronics list it as one they can test and repair
I have used this company several times for Focus cluster repairs, very quick turnaround and reasonable cost.
Go onto their website and fill out their repair form, send the unit off, and 2 or 3 days later you get a call from them.

Have you got thing that can pull the pin code? as your be better off trying a used one..

I agree AC Troncics are good, but to be honest all these cluster repair companies are a waste of time...

Never had any luck with cluster repairs using both company's mentioned.

no longer get involved with them unless I know I got equipmemt to fit new or used (which is limited)

As long as you can pull the pin code the second hand route would be my favourite way.

That seems to be what repairer`s do anyway, and then charge you for test and repairing it.
