Glad it helped, I was sending these away to get repaired for my customers, you can't drive the car with the dash out as it's part of the immobiliser, so customers were without a car for 5 days whilst I waited for the repair and return! now I fix them for half the price and turn it around the same day 👍

@@melsmotors yes i understand because i live in north wales and a lot of garages wont look at them so takes a lot longer to get back and a lot of money to send off for repairs but lucky i found your video and not even taken me 30 mins and £0 spent but out of a lot of videos only yours had my problems and super easy to fix thanks for the video keep keep up the great work

I have an 09 S3 with the same problem, does the cluster dismantle the same as the TT?

Wow gracias a ti me ahorre una la nota, hice el procedimiento pero yo no use Cautín solo use liquido para limpiar piezas eléctricas y le talle y así le quite todo el sarro y quedo gracias 😊

My rpm gauge doesn’t work. Thought of replacing rpm motor, seems super easy. Ty

Thanks it was same issue with my wifes car.

Mine did this too. Turns out just unplug the battery and start it with it unplugged. Then connect it again and it should start right up. My theory is, the capacitors and transistors of the cluster just needed a reset.

My mk2 8j has this at the moment, replaced battery today thinking it was battery drain but still doing it. I also tried switching on with battery disconnected but didn't do the trick and still not working. Dash flickers when I turn ignition over and I can see DEF above mileage, but then all goes black again with no gauges working but airbag light, exclamation mark, abs and steering wheel lights all illuminated

@@cameronandy84 I took the instrument cluster out, disassembled it, cleaned all the contacts with a cotton bud dipped in contact cleaner and then reassembled. It did the trick on mine bit have read a lot of the time it's the cluster on its way out. Apparently another one of the mk2 tts common faults. I think a place in Havant near Portsmouth refurbs them for 150 quid if urs needs doing

Buy a used dash off ebay as a donor, much cheaper and easier to find than buying new parts, most of the parts are the same through the VAG group, VW Golf, Seat, Skoda etc

Where did you get the speedometer motor ?

From a used clock we had sitting around, as far as I know they're not available to buy.

looks to me like the rear board will come off without touching the gauges, or am i seeing it wrong?
