This happened on my a4 it was a fuse connection
The actual contact that the fuse was plugging into was pulled back. It made intermittent contact!
The way I found it was wiggling and pushing on all of the fuses.
Once I found the culprit I pulled it and voila! there was the problem.
Good luck!

thank you sir for the good advice!
I've encoutered the same problem on older audi's - Coupe Quattro's, 90's, 100's but not yet on the A4... I'm hoping that it could be that easy, but what I didn't mention was that I pulled that fuse out (for the cluster) and installed a higher amp fuse, just to see if I could hear any electrical short in the system...> Well that idea fried the cluster because I hear arking, then saw smoke from the dash.. LOL!!
I'll replace the cluster then figure out if there is another problem with the car...
