Hi, I just bought a '00 TT and the screen in bwt. the gauges have lines going across it and I can't see what it says clearly. Anyone know how to fix this?

thanks for the help.

 

yeah your gauge cluster is going out and is very expensive to fix did u buy it from a dealer?

 

Damn, I was afraid of that. No, I bought it from a private seller. How much does it usually go for, you know?

 

last time i checked around $600

 

Is it worth changing or is it something I don't even need?

 

is it just the center gauge where it shows the mpg etc if so then no i would just turn it off by the button on the windshield wiper thing

 

Thanks for the help man

 

When mine went bad, my speedo was also off by 10mph, and my fuel gauge was off by about 1/8 of a tank, and my temp gauge would spike to hot as soon as the key was turned (even with the car off, and cold).

So yeah, you probably want to fix it, or find yourself pulled over by a cop, out of gas, with an overheating car..... ; )

 

I have seen alot of TT panels for sale on ebay so you might want to check that out.

 

But if you replace with used cluster, you're milage will be inaccurate, and you'll need to deal with teh stupid DMV and have that dumb correction sticker on your door.

You have up to the 50mi mark on the odo with a new cluster to set the milage, after 50 miles, its locked at whatever its at. The cluster you use also depends on your VIN, there are slight differences, and you may have more problems if you don't get the one that matches.
