Hi All...
At the end of my tether with this now :/ I've ripped the car apart trying to find a fix, but still cant find a solution. It's Audi A3 BKD 2006 8P with DSG
It started with flickering dash clocks, the radio asking for a code sometimes and then next day the instrument cluster was dead and car wouldnt start. It had been sat for a week or two while I changed the turbo, so it had to be jump started twice, and when the battery was low I used to get ESP Fault on the dash, but after a run that went.
After extensive googling, it appeared all roads led to instrument cluster being dead and I sent them off to be repaired at a cost of £160. They replaced the processor and sent them back. However, when I (all happy smiles) put it back in, the dash clocks were still dead - no lights, clock, etc.. so I sent them back to the repair company under warranty. Speaking to the guy on the phone he said "They're lighting up on my bench" but replaced the processor again to be sure, then sent them back. Yet, on my end still dead.
All other electrics work, both keys lock and unlock, indicators work, headlights etc. Before sending the clocks off I did the usual checks:
Checked dash fuses . Engine fuses . Checked battery . Tried another battery . Had the battery tested by tyre centre and was told it was good, no dead cells.
Swapped some relays on comfort control module (under drivers dash) . Bought a relay tester and cycled through relays - all good (But I couldnt test the larger relays as the pins wouldnt fit in my tester)
Swapped comfort control module with one from a breaker
Swapped CAN gateway module from a breaker
Checked CCM in boot for water/damage
Checked ECU for water damage
I bought a 2nd hand instrument cluster off eBay (same part No.) That didnt light up either. Bought yet another instrument cluster, that is the same. The seller sent me a pic of it off the car and it was shown working at his end.
I've put multimeter on the fuses and getting 12v.
Lastly, the loom to the instrument cluster, I've put the multimeter to what I think is positive pin 1, and I get around 9v? It's the singular 'blue' 32 pin connector.
I can't think what else to do.. ignition switch? or maybe the cluster isnt coming on with only 9v supply? This is the scan with OBDeleven.
