HI Guys just bought an Octavia 1.8 Turbo on an X plate.I have an intermitant fault on instruments when i start it runs ok, but I have no speedo, temp and fuel guage or rev counter. I can be driving down the road and suddenly they come to life for a short while then go back to zero. could it be an ECU problem?

It'll be dry joints on the 2 voltage regulators on the dashboard cluster. If you do a search on here there is a guide on repair.

Forgot to say if you pull fuse 5 the speedo etc will work but the trip & time will reset every time you start the car.

Thank-you very much, it actually worked like you said i can live with resetting counters, better than a speeding fine anyday

Hi guys just a quick one I have removed fues 15 cured the problem with the speedo and dials another problem has arisen regarding the cd player it loses its memory and only plays one track works well with fuse 15 in any ideas how to get round this
