Trip Computer

[Raayvon]

Hi,

My 2000 A4 Avant's trip computer has gone all grainy - it is still visible for priority symbols but the extras are hard to read. I took it to a local garage and they said to fix/buy new is more than the car is worth?

Is this true? Any thoughts?

around £400 new i think
cluster contains immobiliser so keys need programming and ecu linking in as well as general recoding

you can try this but doesnt make much difference

or there are companys that can just repair screen

or what i did if you can code keys or no someone that can, keep an eye on ebay for new old dealer stock items, i got new clusters for both my a4's for £60 + £90

does 'ok' show on start up?
if so you might of turned it off by accident, reset button under stalk is also an on/off switch
