Instrument Cluster

NAVYBOY · 08-25-2007, 02:46 PM

Hi, I'm after some advise.

I have a 2004 a3TDI and today i tried to change my instrument cluster. I installed the new cluster fine but when i went to start the engine it started and cut out straight away. The cluster was showing an error message of 'tank error' or something to that effect.

Do i need to have the cluster calibrated to my car?

Any advise would be most welcome!

Thanks

Stu

The cluster incorporates the imobilliser so you will have to get it programmed along with all your keys.

Thanks for the advise. I've now got another problem. I started my car this morning and the power assisted steering light wont go out on the panel and the steering is really heavy. Also the ESP light wont go off either. All this must be caused by me removing the clocks because it was fine before i started messing with it.

Anymore advise would be most welcome.

Thanks

Yes you will have to get the Steering basic settings redone as all these systems nowadays are networked together.

Hi good news for those of us with broken clocks all my needles on my clocks went dead so I got a second hand set from a breakers,Lots of people informed me that they could not be re-coded But Garage Services Vehicle Repairs And Mechanics Preston - Digi Dash Northwest have done it for me today for a fraction of the price that Audi would of charged ensure that the part number is the same though, hope this helps somebody else by the way my clocks where off an Audi A3 TDI 2001 8L Model
