This is Alan Matthews again. Have looked on Bently Publishers Audi
discussion group and found that this is a fairly common fault.
See :-
http://tech.bentleypublishers.com where if you do a search under
"instrument display" there are messages from a few other sufferers - but no
fixes - (this is mostly from USA).
However I would like to find out firstly how the red light is produced eg.
LED, or bulb and if it is this that goes dim which I might be able to fix,
or if the fault is the actual Liquid Crystal unit which I can not fix !!!
Does anybody have a failed or scrap instrument panel they could send me (I
will pay postage etc.) so that I can have a play without risking the unit
in my car ?
Thanks for the help so far
Alan Matthews (Matty)
How much is a new instrument panel by the way
