Dashboard problem!
My dashboard lights and meters keep on flickering, on and off.
Sometimes it seems completely solved, then the other time it's a real
mess, and nothing seems to work on the dashboard.
I'm told either it would be a shortcircuit problem, a ground problem or
a voltage stabilisor problem.
I'm confused!? The dealer is telling me to invest €1.000 for a brand
new dash!?! That's the lucrative and easy way for them. I'm also told
by the Dutch ACtronics company, that they are able to repare and
restore various dashboards, but only with a 50% guarantee.

So, I need a good advice!
This is a typical Audi problem for several type of cars, from A4 to
etc. etc.
What's the typical solution!

Thanks in advance,

Roland.

How old is the car and where are you?

In the UK I believe Audi will repair free of charge official (i.e. not
personal imports) cars up to 5 years old

Have you tried contacting Audi directly?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your suggestion.
It's a 2000 car, and the former owner has done everything he could
towards the dutch audo importer PON.  I guess first I'll visit an
instrument maker who also restores all kinds of dashes from trucks.
