NO DASHBOARD SOUNDS

Hi all, I need some help with my 2004 V10 Touareg.
There are no sounds coming out from the dashboard, i.e.: no indicator noise, no seatbelt beeping no beep, bong sounds to do with the dash. I had a VW stealer look at it and they want to put a new dashboard in for lots of money? Can any help or know how to fix this problem. Thanks.:(

The only time my indicator noise stopped working was when the battery was low voltage because of a malfunctioning manifold air intake shutter motor. Did the dealer check your main battery voltage and run the Touareg for error codes? How old is your main battery? Also some would consider the lack of bong and beeps as a blessing ; )

If your sound is dead (and its not a battery problem) it is controlled by the guages, meaning that a new panel is the only way to fix it.

Did you ever figure this out?

The same thing is happening to me now (2005 V8). The dashboard was always screaming at me for something, which was annoying... but I do miss the reminder when I need to get gas, when the parking light is on, etc. I don't believe it's a battery issue... did you replace your dashboard? Also, do you remember how much it cost if you did replace it? Thanks in advance.
