I have bought an audi a3 2010 sline black edition on october 2018, about 5 months ago the registration number left bulb come up on the dashboard as a fault, was burned, and them the cigarette lighter wasn't working. About two weeks on friday 13 of March, my husband opened the fuse box next to driver seat and changed fuse number 20 for the lighter and at the same time removed the dead bulb from left registration number plate. The car was drivable the day before, no concerns, as till he has done this he went to start the car, the lights on the dashboard board come on for a few seconds and the car started for a few seconds and them stopped working. From that day no lights on dashboard and the radio is not working. I have called a car electrician which he told me the dash was the problem, i have taken the car to Portsmouth company who deals with diagnosing dashboard, they have told me it is fully working. I have bought bulbs from halford for the rear registration number plate, unfortunately i will have to replace them tomorrow as the lady sold us the wrong ones. My husband has done a test by swapping the right registration number bulb which was good to the one was burned and it did burned the good one. He noticed that the housing where you plug the bulb it is burned. All the inside lights and indicators, hazardous, fan are working, the car starts a few seconds but dies a few seconds, the beginning it wasn't shutting the doors, but now it is, the windows doesn't go up or down.
