originally posted in wrong section I think, sorry

As per title my indicators stopped clicking today, they still flash and the inside repeaters illuminate too, lights still work fine and no warning lights showing.

do I have a relay?, where is it of so.

if not anyone got any ideas please?

thanks
now I'm about to have more time I've suddenly got less toys to play with!

I’m pretty sure the sound comes from an electromechanical device on the circuit board inside the cluster. Not an actual relay. Not much help but at least it looks like you can pin point the problem to the cluster’s board

Bad news on this one I have the same problem and its a new speedo not cheap around £1300 fitted and programmed.

Someone on here did mention it can be fixed without replacement which would be a lot better option but for now I live with it as I cannot here it with the roof down or music playing

There was an Audi S3 on wheeler dealers that needed a new screen in the cluster. They took it to a place that repairs clusters. I’m sure they’d be able to sort it out. I bet their company name is in view
