    Cold Starting.

    A3 Cluster problems - the saga continues

    Oh my god, I'm not a happy bunny. This might sound stupid NOW but I sent my cluster off to have the fuel guage fixed to 'a well known Cluster Repairs company in the UK', they said it was beyond repair I think (it was hard to understand the bloke) so they didn't charge me and when I got the unit...
