i have a 98 MK3 with instrument cluster and warning light issues. i was changing the fuel filter last year and did not have my mityvac handy so i ended up with excessive cranking to bleed the air out. yeah i know, dumb move but i was lazy and i did not care about this car at that time.
so here are the current symptoms. i get no vag-com communication at all, clock resets at startup, tach only works once the engine starts and shudders(the tach not the engine) when i turn it off and restart, trunk, airbag, check engine, glowplug lights are all on.
my thoughts are bad ground or bad cluster.
thoughts on where to start? ground locations? i know of two but i don't want to miss any.
