Hi, i have recently bought a 2000 octavia 1.9 TDi SLX, great car especially after adding a mod from CarPower.de, have tested and has shaved 2 secs off of 0-60, but I am now experiencing a problem with the instrument cluster.

The problem is that none of the dials work. Occasionally they will move when the ignition is switched but after a few seconds or when you start the car all the dials go dead. All the lights continue to work.

I have to use the digital speed on the climatronic to know how fast I am going.

Does anyone know of this problem and what causesit or do I have to buy a complete new dash pod, which is what Skoda are saying.

Please help....

Absolutely no idea I'm afraid, however one or two more knowledgeable people will probably be along soon.

Welcome to Briskoda anyway !
