It appears I have a faulty dashboard on my 51 plate A3, this means the dash doesnt work when I first get in the car ( speedo & rev counter flick on & off for about 3 minutes befor esettling down ) last night led to the car not starting due to an argument between the ignition key, the dashboard & the immobiliser

I spoke with a former audi man who says this is a known issue & that Audi had previously replaced these dashboards free of charge, even to cars outside of warranty

Is anyone aware of this, as I would like to be armed with this info before I call my local dealer

Thanks
