Just go to the dealer, ask for it to be replaced FOC... if he argues, tell him to call Audi UK CS. Somewhere on the forum is a PDF of a letter from Audi UK CS to one of the forum members confirming FOC replacement on all cars irrespective of age/provenance.

Even if i didnt buy the vehicle direct from them, just got to the local Audi dealer an tell them to replce it??

I m not sure id be entitled to it??

Nothing to do with where you bought it.
You are entitled to have any agreed work done at any dealer and the manufacturer reimburses them for the work done.

The look will be to run a diagnostic check if its gone then thats free as well. If not they can charge you for it. Don't let them bull s**t you in to any other way or charge.

I've got a 2000 imported with all the dash problems mentioned on here , after reading this phoned the big Audi garage at Braehead...basically got told to f**k off.

Looks like am going to have to shell out £200 to the guy that repairs them on Ebay

Just got it yesterday and ran out of juice when the dash said 1/4 full

Has anyone got a copy of that PDF letter from Audi?

Hope this helps courtesy of all warrenmoles hard work so dont thank me. Not sure if it counts for much as when i saved it i missed the bottom part. DOH!

Starski do you have the phone number thats on the bottom of the missing part of the letter?
This could be my ticket to getting my local Audi to do something!

Had mine replaced on saturday at Maidsone Audi FOC, mines a 2000 import 98,000 on the clock, my old pod was a Kilometers, i asked for it to changed to MPH, they said they could but at an extra cost of £155.00,
I kicked up a stink & they gave in at audi uk and paid the branch the £155.00.

My contact at Audi uk was Mo he was really helpful, & Lisa at Maidstone also helped a lot.

Gav, must have saved it in a hurry someone else on here must have it. Its not the number on the right is it? Could try directory enquires or even pm warenmole. Sorry Bud

Found the bottom half somewhere else!

Ah well done, thanks for your time on that, however the picture of the letter doesnt show up
However managed to sorce a number for Audi uk sent them an email, so guess i'll just have to wait, fingers crossed!
Cheers again

I've got an 00 plate TT and the radio stations show up as garbled symbols, but the important things like speedometer, temperature etc all seem to work correctly. I take it the free dashpod replacement is only for critical problems.

I've just had mine approved for a foc replacement from Huntingdon Audi on a 52 plate just over 5 years old. No quibbles or hassle once diagnosed which was also free.
It had a temp guage starting to do unusual stuff, but nothing else.

Forgive me if I'm being stupid but can someone confirm that it doesn't matter if the car's under warranty or not, when it comes to dash pod failure?
I'm just about to put mine up for sale, and driving it at the weekend the fuel guage went up to full and the dash pod said 400+ miles remaining. This keep going up 5 miles every few minutes until it got to around 550 then it and the guage went down to empty.
I stopped the car when I got home and started it again, the miles remaining and the guage went to where I'd expect them to be considering the amount of fuel I'd put in recently and how many miles I'd done since but the petrol pump warning sign is displayed on the dashpod.
I'm guessing this is the dash pod from what I've read on here so hopefully I'll be elidgible for a FOC replacement from Audi.
