Ok still having intermittent probs with the dash....pretty sure its a loose connection or something similar hopefully.

Looked in the engine bay to find what connectors went where and made sure those that I could see were making good connections.

After running vagcom when I have dash working again it always tells me there is a fault ( short to earth ) on the external temp sensor, oil sensor and another 2 I think.

Where would be the nearest connectors to these to check? will post up some pics so you can point me in the right direction.



Also, just to make sure connections are good in the car, where are the dash connectors located....do I need to strip the dash right out?

Also whils looking in the engine bay I came across a loose connector. Looks like it just needs to be secured to a piece of plastic but what is it and what does it do?

Its on the left hand side of the bay looking at it.

Also, what is this connector, its on the right hand side of the block, hard to get to....


looks like its open to the elements..possible problem?

Thanks in advance. I have more pictures if it would help you guys.
