wigeon jim Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Anyone had this problem, our Audi A3 wouldn't start the other morning, seams the instrument cluster is faulty which effects the immobiliser, instrument cluster now has to come out and sent away to be repaired, anyone had this problem?

Walker570 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 My 30yr old Landy wouldn't start yesterday either...I'd forgotten to pull the choke out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hiya I would suggest having a delve in the Audi/VW Forums to see what a search brings up. I have found joining very helpful with 'Enthusiasts' that have good knowledge, including from working in Stealers. One question - has the battery been changed that you know of last 3-5years? Lockdown and less longer drives will knacker it proper if not relatively new. Modern cars fester with a drop in charge, that then impacts other 'elec-trickery' within.

ditchman Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 there seems to be in the last year several threads about faults on the A3........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr grumpy Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Inside the instrument cluster is "the gateway" this brings various communication systems together.i also remember chokes on cars,and points😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkin Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 How much did that cost you to pull the choke out Walker 570 ? I don't know all these mod cons you have that Land Rover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know all these mod cons you have that Land Rover. Cost me about 30 seconds to wake up that morning😀 remember how expensive it was to get a Mini back on the road if you didn't smoke ? You had to buy a five pack of Woodbines and use the silver paper to replace the blown fuse. Edited January 30, 2021 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morkin Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 You also had to nick a peg from linen basket to keep choke out to save holding out till warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
