    Electrical gremlins - dash

    Hi everyone, my Mk3 Tdi has started some weird electrical gremlins. basically it seems that whenever I start the car, the clock and the trip counter restart at 12.00 and zero respectively. Also (not necessarily connected) the central locking has just started to be harder to operate from the driver's door.

    Ideas please

    It starts as well as ever, though. It that would be a pain, I just replaced the one in the 4x4!

    I'll get it tested.

    No, not the battery, now the dash is going crazy and the car is hard to start, speedo reading weird, I think my ignition switch is on the way out! Anyone had similar symptoms
