Hi guys.
I own a 2001 A4 1.8T QS which had/has a couple of issues. I have a garage a few streets down which is run by an experienced VW/Audi technician. I had the car with him a couple of times and am generally very happy with his work. There is an issue with my cockpit computer (No clue how it is actually called). When I had it with him the first time the display had almost died. well, it had slight pixel issues before but they were at least twice as bad as it came back. A few weeks back I then brought it in for a service and when I got it back the entire display was dead. It would not come back on except that it will show you when a door is open, provided the ignition is turned on. When I brought it in this week I mentioned it to him and he said something along the lines it is the pixels. He then, however, reverted that statement after he saw it would come on when opening a door. He did not fix it though. Anyone any idea wht it is and what I can do to "restart" it?
He also replaced the offside top suspension arms and the breaks all round. Since then there is a weird noise coming from the steering when turning the wheel. I am currently unable to bring it back to him due to work commitments. Has anyone any idea what that could be?
Thanks in advance.
