My stupid a$$ analog clock keeps stopping at 2:30. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Thats for the early one without the trip computer.

If you've got the trip comp, expect it to be more.

However, even a broken clock will show the corrrect time twice a day. ;-)

I would think that there is not much you can do to fix a quartz watch; it's just not worth it.
Maybe the clock can be be exchanged without replacing the whole instrument cluster.

My cluster is new. They replaced the whole thing when I imported it from Canada.

Unless you can find another bad one and just whip out the soldering iron.... You need a new cluster.

my useless oil temp gauge went out, and they replaced the entire thing. Somewhat wasteful but I guess with idiots working in the garage it works out better that way. Less they can ****up, and we all know how easy it is to ****up an audi.

then the part is probably under warranty.... no biggie right?

They really don't have replaceable components in the instrument cluster? That's reckless engineering. I'm not surprised though. My dealer claimed tried to sell me a new gauge cluster and climate control unit, just because a bulb had blown out! Luckily, I was able to get the bulbs elsewhere and replace them myself.

Gordan that was a very very bad punn, you go sit in the corner and talk to the ghosts now umkay!
