Default Any Audi tt techies about?

A few months ago the rev counter, fuel gauge and water temp gauge stopped working on my 2000 tt & at the same time the low oil pressure warning light started to flash.

I've had the clocks changed now & the fuel & temp gauge are working fine but the rev counter still doesnt work and the low oil pressure lights still flashing.

The pressure is ok as ive had it checked but someone said the warning light could be flashing as it takes a reading from the rev counter as well as somewhere else.

Any ideas what could be causing it folks?

Do you do that with a vag com mate? I had a friend put on a vag com but he couldn't clear the some of the faults as it wouldnt let him or something (i cant remember the exact thing he said but can find out).

So is it best for me to give it in to an audi specialist to check out? I was hoping to sell the car cheap soon but not give it away because of some annoying problem

Theres a re-call on the clocks from years ago, mine had never been changed so they honoured it.
