The MFD on my new r32 had faded out to the point where I can barley see it..? Is this a common problem??

Only had the car 3 days

lol

Have you been playing with the little wheel under the light switch that adjusts the display brightness?

 

[cuprabob]

Also, make sure the light sensor for the cluster is not obstructed as it will think it's dark and automatically dim.

I haven't touched anything and nothing obstructed I was just driving along and it went blank and you can't really see anything?

 

[DarenMx83]

This is what I mean!!

Sorry not seen that before. There is an option within the MFD to switch off the display but that would just leave it blank.

Looks like it's on it's way out, I'd whip it out and send it to :

They'll sort it for you, it looks to already have a line of dead pixels across it too. Mine has that but I've just never got round to sending it away to those guys.

I agree with Birdiemachine, needs replacing. I had a similar issue with the MFD on my Mk 4. I bought a replacement off eBay and fitted it myself. But wouldn't recommend it without having good soldering skills and a steady hand! Either option, it's worth doing though. Looks so much better.

I have taken the cluster out and had a look it looks like the ribbon cable has burnt out so I just need to buy the LCD screen does anyone know where i could get one..?

i am having a similar problem, but mine just fades. there is no problem with the pixels as when it comes back on its fully bright. its like not enough power is getting to it. strange one.
