Gauges and clock not working

[phil1986]

I have a Audi A3 Sportback 8PA
Today I got in the car and car starts fine and drives as it should but the fuel/temp/speedometer and Rev gauge not working aswell as clock and mileage. When the key is near it I have lights on the instrument cluster such as airbag, coil light, abs etc which stay on as I’m driving. Indicators signal light work but without the usual clicking noise. Could this be a blown fuse or another issue?

Hi,
Check the fuses and scan with VCDS, assuming you have access to the diagnostic tool? Also please provide details on the year and engine type as that may help others here to provide some answers.

From what I've read, instrument cluster failure is a common problem on the 8A/8P due to components burning out over time. There's a company I found in Heanor who do a full refurb of your own unit with unlimited mileage lifetime guarantee for £130.
