OK guys, here is the question.
Is the instrument cluster a straight swap.
Reason: I am changing my small lcd dis to a wide dis one.
What is my main concern?? Conversation I've had today with my good mate who could not start up his older A6 years ago after swapping clocks.
Quick story. Few years ago, on his A6, the old shape one, but not the very first one, he decided to change/upgrade his clocks.
After swap car would not start at all, it was cranking but thats it.
So the reason for that was that either a immobilizer chip was within the instrument cluster, or somehow wired/paired with the original cluster.
Sooo, is it possible that I will experience exactly same problem??
Will I have to re-code the immobilizer or it is actually just a straight swap and mileage correction??
Or mileage isn't even stored in the cluster??
THANK YOU !!!
