vw lcd display fading in stock

Cheapest way of fixing is removing the cluster and checking the ribbon cable connection. While checking that, give the connection a cleaning off as well. If you still have the lines, the cheapest way of fixing is buying the cluster out of a wrecked gti or other vw mk5 car with the highline instrument cluster and swapping only the screen over. A whole cluster should run you $50.

What happens is the lcd display glass has a thin ribbon cable on its right hand side that powers the display, the bonding/glueing on this ribbon cable comes loose, doesn"t make proper contact thats why the lines come and go.

Over the top of the display is a metal cover plate held on by 4 legs bent on the back of the pc board. Straighten these, and it comes off. WORK GENTLY!!!

I did mine myself, just added 2 extra strips of thin rubber strip behind the lcd on either side, and made the metal cover press down slightly harder on the ribbon cable so it makes better contact, and it works perfectly. All in all, an hour or so"s work.""
