I appear to have an intermittent problem with my instrument panel. Sometimes when I start the vehicle, the digital readings and all instrument display do not work. The car drives fine and they will flash on and off. In time they will come on and all is fine. However, if they fail to come on at all and I park up, the alarm will go off. Any ideas??

Thanks for that. The fuse is ok. Whilst checking it out today, there was life in the fuel guage and the temp guage even though the key was not in the ignition. So the garage it may have to be to get a diagnostics check..I will keep you posted.

Regards

I have a 51 plate 1.9 tdi with exactly the same symptons as yourself. Have pulled the alarm fuse as a temporary measure to keep neighbours happy, but still need help in determining the cause of the flashing dash lights when cold.
