Hi all.
Tried combing the forums briefly to see if any one else has come across this issue. I have a 2001 VW Bora which is starting to show some issues with the dash gauges. They intermittently freeze up or don't work at all. Further to that, I have noticed that when the gauges freeze up, the odometer, trip meter and centre red display thingy also lock up. Other than that the backlighting and all of the other gauge lights operate as normal.
So far I have had the battery, alternator & starter checked by Supercheap Auto's free battery tester and all OK as far as they are concerned. I have also given the instrument cluster a bit of a bash to rule out dry joints/loose connections but to no effect. I have recently had the battery disconnected and charged but also had no effect on the gauges.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
