A common phenomenon, appearing at special model ranges of the VW Group, is a temporary or permanent malfunction of the Instrument Cluster.
I. e. Malfunction of analogue needles
o Tachometer
o Speedometer
o Coolant Temperature
o Refuelling Indicator
o Sev. Signal Lamps

Possible solution proposed by the manufacturer/ car dealer:
Replacement of the complete unit (Instrument Cluster for approx. € 550) plus mounting (approx. 1 h = € 60 – € 80) and reprogramming…
But you can also get a Repair Manual on ebay. Looking for "Repair Manual Instrument Cluster Octavia" or so...
It works great and everybody can do it without great experience in repairing cars!
I fixed my Instrument Cluster a year ago and it still works without any trouble!
Hope thip advise will help you!
