I have bought used cluster converting from Kilometers to Miles and I get Safe display on the cluster and on the radio. Above all the car wont start anymore. As a result I get engine light, electronic stabilizer and Electro-mechanical power assist on all the time even after replace the old cluster.

I would suggest you check oil levels etc. Generally these cars suffer from the air mass meter / air sensor problems aswell as coil problems too. Did you ever get a solution to the problem?
SOURCE: Hi, I bought used Audi
I would check to see if the catalyic converter is clogged. Drop the tail pipe at the manifold. Start and drive it for a block you will be able to tell real quick. It should run smooth and have good power. It will just be noisy. Or you could have coil problems.

I agree with philipk and I might consider a different shop since separating the level sender from the gauge isn't rocket science and only requires a basic meter to check the integrity of the sender. If it checks bad, it will still cost a bit of labor (the sender isn't expensive; <$50 US) but since it is located inside the gas tank and is rarely removable without dropping the whole gas tank, expect some labor costs. The cost of replacing the instrument cluster would be far greater though if the sender checks out OK.
Testimonial: "thanks for your help. nice to go into the shop armed with some info! "
