'Error' flashing in display between Speedo & Rev counter

[nr26410]

Hi all

My daughter just got a VW Polo 1.2 2011 and it has a few issues which I'm working through.

Car drives nice but the word 'Error' is flashing on the display between Speedo & Rev counter on start-up, it goes after a few seconds and the mileage is displayed. No other warning lights active but we have 2 known faults, radio doesn't work and the passenger side window doesn't go up or down from passenger side switch, fine from drivers side.

Any thoughts? Wondering if that is a generic error to say get it checked on a diag machine, although garage with a generic tester read no faults.

Greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks

P.S. Any thoughts on radio & window, new switch but still dead. Cheers

do a diagnostic first
