Problem: Flashing display, please help

[rayiish]

So I got my 2006 A4 2.0T Quattro with tip about 3 weeks ago and I must say I love the car. The second day getting the car I vag-ed it for euro headlights, chimes, and windows&locks. But ever since I started driving the car the display sometimes flashes. I'm not sure if this started happening because of the vag but I vag'ed my friends car too and his is fine. I noticed that it does this more during nighttime (well either that or i just drive it alot more during night). I contacted my dealer and he said he never heard of any such problem. Luckily tonight it happened while I was parked so I was able to record some of it with my camera phone. So I uploaded the video on youtube and is only 38 seconds so I hope you guys can watch it and tell me wtf is wrong with my A4.

I guess no one knows about this problem and its one of those stupid things i need to get fixed at my dealer?

Hmm, yeah just take it to the dealer, they will probably just replace the cluster.

I don't have a clue what the problem but it seems electronic. like a short in your dash or something

Have you scanned your car with your VAG-COM for fault codes? I'd be kinda surprised if there wasn't some sort of fault stored somewhere.

Bringing this back up from the dead because it still happens and bringing it to the service department tomorrow morning.

Hello,

So, do you have a conclusion? I have a 2003, A4 CVT with tiptronic and I am having the same problem. What was the diagnosis?

Thanks.

I say you stop listening to that kind of music... your car is trying to tell you something.
