I bought a new dash unit from ebay for £20 and had it put in.

I took the old dash out and tried to take it apart to see if it was salvageable but it wasn't coming apart once I got into the workings of it.

It looks like it probably is some kind of loose connection or soldering but god knows where ...

The plug at the back of the dash had a small clip which came down and secured the plug into place when it was inserted.

Is this what you mean? I fitted the plug back in and this clip came down and locked the plug.

However, the dash is now dead again after working for two days.

I tried what you suggested and there was no evdience of a loose multiplug.

However as I was fitting the dash back into place it came back on.

Thanks for the advice. It is much appreciated.

thanks very much, i will give it a try

I have the exact same problem with my polo.
It's a V reg and the dash died last week.
Any help on this would be great.
It does sound like a loose wire, but where?
