So... I have followed the site for a while now (years), and I usually find the answer I am looking for (thank you to those that came before me), or a good direction to start from to fix a problem. I have found similar issues with my problem on this site, but nothing exact. I have tried all...

Greetings fellow drivers. I have looked around for a similar topic but couldn't find anything about this specific problem, so here it goes. I have a 1999 Passat B5, and since i bought it I have had a problem that the little LCD displays of clock and odometer are ghosting, if I can call it like...

If anybody has a link to instructions to remove the Instrument Cluster, please post the link. You can order a new display from this Italian company: https://www.mte.net/lcd-display-for-audi-A3-A4-A6-vw-passat-golf-4-seat-skoda Or, you might find a display for sale on ebay. The two links below...

Has anyone used European Electric in TN recently? They are advertising for half-screen replacements.

I have searched for new replacement MFD red lcd screen for my 2006 Passat and found one overseas for $92 and in MN-USA for $135. I was wondering if it is possible to buy a used cluster and just swap out the MFD, so I can keep mileage and not have to reprogram immobilizer? I found several...

For some reason, my info center lights are all lit up intermittently. Seems more likely when the car is cold. Any thoughts on what might be happening?

Hello! I am new on this forum and from today I am also a owner of Passat Variant B5 year 2002. I have the same dashboard as the man who build a new radio in his car on video from youtube (link on the bottom of the post). I want to do the same thing in my car. I contact someone in my country who...

I'm talking about the red one that displays all you MPG or when something is wrong. Alright so I read that VW are notorious (could be only in our passats) on having the problem of when its too hot you cant read anything but can only see the screen fine when it's cold. Is there anyway to have...

I have had the STOP Brake Warning flashing since I bought the car 2 years ago. Anytime it freezes, the screen displays everything that it should display. After the car gets to operating temp, the STOP warning comes back on again. Anyone ever encounter this problem? Know a solution? Thanks...

hi guys, I think I got my strange computer stuff ironed out by replacing the alternator on my 2001.5 v6 with automatic. I have a message in the red LCD display that shows XX min then 1 to the right in a red box. The XX seems to be a minute timer. I am the original owner and she has 239 K on...

I've never owned a European car before. Actually I've only owned ford, gmc, and Pontiac. I am seriously in love with my 2002 passat now! Ido have a few questions though, and I can't seem to find the answers in my giant manual! There is a thing underneath the steering wheel, and I can pull...

I've been searching for a while and I've probably read every thread on this issue. I am wondering if anyone has found some other way of fixing the fading LCD (other than sending the cluster away to have it re-soldered, or replacing it with ... is it a W8 cluster?). I haven't seen an...

I have a B6 Passat, 2007 and the LCD Driver Information Display or MFD began to fade and eventually went nearly dead. Every once in awhile it would show momentary signs of life with vertical lines flashing by. There are plenty of threads in both VW and Audi forums on the B5 models for this...

My LCD display in the instrument cluster has faded so bad it is hardly readable. Is there a replacment/fix available for this?

Greetings. I just purchased a 2004 B5.5 and I did not receive a manual with it. I'm having difficulty figuring out the center LCD screen (the red one). Yesterday, I figured out that there is a toggle switch on the end of the wiper arm that seems to change the display but I'm not sure what the...

I know everyone says it's impossible, you have to have super special skills, you must have very precise surgery skills etc etc etc. As shown on another thread here I retro fitted a W8 cluster to my car and to my disappointment the LCD fades out just like my wife's B5.5. I ordered a new...
