A6 2.7 tdi display Not working!!!

[Duncansnelling]

Hi guys,

Just bought 2.7 a6 2005 fab car, she is up to 150k but has full service. Went to start her up the other morning no dash display for the computer between the dials. Came back once more then not since. Can anyone offer advice as I dont want to go to main dealer as I know just to look will hurt my wallet.

Cheers D

Needs a dash, unless you can find a specialist who can repair it, I dont know of any, but they do exist.

Have done 1 or 2 of that shape A6 and Q7 (same dash). We've changed then, when they have gone dark almost pruple when cold and come clear and light up normally as they warm up.

Is it a very costly job as in the new dash??

Parts around £500 + about an hour (£100 or so) to fit it and recode etc.
