Took it apart and back together and it is now working, it probably didn't need cleaning but I did anyway, I think when I was putting it back together initially I must have forgotten the one clip behind the LCD, so I think that wasn't fully clipped so it didn't have a good connection so the upper characters did not display but the top ones still did.

Thank goodness, I thought I might have zeroed the odometer!

Thank you for your help!

Well I'm glad you got it sorted in the end ;)

Not strictly an immobilizer issue but I have a early 03 TDI Sport where the whole cluster now powers off after a couple of minutes. LCD panels go blank, no lighting, dials freeze at whatever speed & rpm I was doing at the time. Won't then come back to life & restart until I disconnect & reconnect the battery. Before I strip the cluster has anyone got the pinouts & details for the 8 pin black power connector which has an earth and 4 other wires connected?

regards, K

My 04 Cupra TDI is also having similar problems.

I have been driving another car, so the Cupra has been sitting on the drive for a few months.

I went to start it the other day and there is no display on the clocks and it starts and then cuts out within a second or two.

Anyone have any ideas how much PD Tuning charge to re-solder?

Thanks

Bit of an update with mine, i sent the clocks off to PDT (now called Sedox) and re-fitted them yesterday.

All was well, but i went to them a few hours later and nothing again. No lights, gauges not working, not starting.

Does anyone have the pin outs of the power connector pleas?

Cheers

Black 8 pin power connector from a TDI PD130 Sport (6 dials/guages part no 6L0920930K)....

1- no wire
2- no wire
3- no wire
4- 12v for off side parking light (indicator stalk up), drops to 0v when ignition on
5- 0v rising to 12v when ignition on
6- 12v for near side parking light (indicator stalk down), drops to 0v when ignition on
7- 12v permament
8- earth

Still got issue with mine even though its been repaired twice now. Car has only managed 20 miles this year and is now SORN although i've just found a matching 2nd hand cluster on ebay so will see if this one is any better once I get it re-programmed.

It's not always the solder at fault, mine turned out to be the microprocessor. I soldered mine on 3 different occasions just in case, and I can solder very good!
