Walking in the Shadows

Random musings from Warwickshire on life in general... Things that make me laugh, make me cry, things that wind me up beyond all endurance - and everything in between.

Damn car

And this time, it's not mine that's playing up.  It's my partner's car.

He bought a nice looking Audi A4 estate, but it's got problems.  It sounds like the the instrument cluster talks to the ECU, and completes the circuit allowing the system to tell the little plug in fault reader to tell you what the issue(s) are.

But, what isn't common knowledge is that the dratted instrument cluster can be "fried" by jump starting the car.

So, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.  Replace the instrument cluster, and then hope that the damned car decides to play ball and show the error codes, or run the car until the MOT runs out, then have the "fun" of selling it for spares or repair.

So we are now desperately trying to find a company to fix it, preferably without costing more than the car is worth....

So, I am now off to find a company that can sort this damned dahsboard out.

Back when I get chance....

To the spirit that guides you, follow it through
To the spirit inside you, always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care
