Could not get the engine running?

[Jake242]

Hi Guys, last saturday, upon leaving from my parents... my 8 simply couldn´t start. After numorus tries, having taken the engine plastic cover off and checking fuelline and sparkplugs... I could conclude that there was no power going to the sparkplugs... although the power was on on everything else.

Got it towed to Audi, and got a call from them... car is running, no faults found...

But on another note, that I pointed out last time I had it serviced. The instrument cluster didn't reset the In 2(inspection 2)

A person at Audi(apperently some specialist that was there by coincidence) said that the cluster was defect, as it could not store that the In 2 was reset and he also said that a defect in the instrument cluster, could mean that the immobilizer could go in effect out of no where.

They are pricing a new cluster plus coding the cluster, coding 4 keys and man-hours to approx £750

So do you guys think its a fair price?(not that I have many other options)
and is the "expert" correct in assuming that the defect that is in the Cluster, can switch the immobilizer on and off with no reason other than it feels like it?(question is, is the immobilizer really in the cluster?)

Also do any of you have a link to the best Aluminum Cluster rings for the D2? I need new ones if I have to get a new cluster

Cheers, Jake

PS: at the moment I got a sweet mint A5 sportsback 2.0 TDI with 2.000 miles on the clock at my disposal until monday, free of charge... liking the service at Audi
