Hi guys and gals New to the site as i just purchased my A8 today and sadly my first post is in the form of technical help. I know nothing about Audi's unfortunatly as im a jap man at heart. So basically i purchased a 1999 4.2 quattro sport, 129k on the clock. Lots of history, euthsiast owner ( think its nikw on here hell of a nice guy, talked me threw all the things i needed to look out for and stuff) took for a test drive, everything was fine, car went well, everything worked apart from the spare key but thats no issue tbh. Paid money etc etc and went on my way a very happy man Driving for about 25 mins and came to a cross roads and the car stalled, just died as i came to a stop ( was in tip tronic mode and not auto if that makes any difference). Restarted and everything was fine apart from the speedo and mileage counter wouldnt work along with the trip. Everything else works fine and the speedo is illuminated but just doesnt work, also the cruise controll doesnt work now which i suspect is down to the speedo no working. This all worked in the test drive and was fine up until it stalled. I tried restarting and also turning off and waiting 10 mins but no difference.Not sure if the stalling is just a coincidence but its strange how it was fine up until then. Called Nik to see if this has happened before or is a common issue and any tips but he said he hasnt had any past problems with it which i have no reason to doubt him as he is a very nice guy. Anyone have any tips or ideas on what i should look for or try ? im fairly capable with DIY fixes but i wouldnt know where to begin on one of these ? Is the speedo drivenf rom the box or is it electronic ? many thanks in advance for your help
