Status: offline small word of advice ( how do you clean the facia?? ) if you spray it with any liquid then its your own fault because it seeps into the display and the makers know this, you should never spray any liquid cleaner on any LCD

Status: offline My 98 A6 1.9 TDi had this problem.

It was directly related to the temperature "inside" the car, on a cold morning the display worked 100% OK, but as soon as the interior of the car got to something like a comfortable temperature (I leave the climate control set at 22°C) it had gradualy faded away and became almost impossible to see.
During the warm summer months I never used to see it at all because the car interior was above the "critical" temperature all the time.

Maybe you guys should live somewhere that is not quite so warm, LOL

I have recently changed the car for a late 2002 model and so far the display has showed no signs of any trouble at all.

Status: offline I'm in. My 2000 A6 is so bad, I can't even read the shifter position across the bottom. With luck, I have about 6 lines working at best. I also checked into replacement or repair. None of the cluster rebuilding companies repair this, My cost on the cluster through Audi is over $500, and we must keep in mind the additional $135.00 to program it and transfer the information off the old one onto the new one. But I agree, with almost every Audi having this problem, Audi should stand behind their product. I think they need to chat with the Japanese for the electronics, and have them design a readout that works. Mine only has 73,000 miles, and has been bad for years. Count me in on your petition. My contact info is NoOther@aol.com. Contact me if you need any more info.

I hate to put a wrench in the works but even if you get a new cluster the life of the display has a max of about 5 years or less, and if you have a tt cluster im sorry the company that makes those is horrible, you think faded pixels is bad try never getting your car started. Audi has been aware of this problem since it started happening back in 98 and has no plans on compensating you for it, trust me i have an s4 and they won't give me one and i work for them! Oh and by the way tt clusters and about 2x the price that of the a4, sucks huh

98 A6 Quattro. The display has splotchy areas that are dim when the weather is hot. It has already been replaced under warranty once. That was about 2 years ago.

Status: offline Yup. My LCD screen on my cluster is messed up as well. Doesn't display anything while driving, except for the gears, and only a diagnostic if I've pushed the button to run a quick diagnostic, and when that is pushed, it isn't clear like it should be due to bad pixels. I need to get it fixed and was quoted at $1000. Absolutely ridiculious is the price and the fact that Audi isn't allowing any clusters to get fixed outside the dealership.

Status: offline 2000 A4, my panel seems to be temp related as well. For the most part I leave it off until there is something on it I wish to see. When I first turn it on its about 70% visible then after about 5 mins its complete.

Same problem. This should definitely be a recall....why can't we just have good electronics like Lexus? :(
Let me know if you get any response.
