Instrument cluster issues.
No tach, no speedometer, red flashing oil pressure light, and check engine light. And all the other lights , ABS , tire pressure etc.
Issue went away for two weeks , got back in the car today same issue and warnings. Took car to VW dealership they say I need a new instrument cluster $1800 and a new vacuum pump.
$1550.
This was their estimate.
Just want to know , my instrument cluster is working intermittently I guess. But I live at the coast in texas. With lots of salt air. And this instrument cluster issue has popped up every time we have a cold front . So I’m wandering if the terminals are dirty , or if it’s a fuse or whatever. Not to mechanically inclined, would love some advice on a cheap fix. I don’t have $2k for a new instrument cluster, especially since it’s working when it wants too, lol.
Please help if you can.
