My display screen on my cluster is getting darker and the words showing on there is missing some part. Anyone have this problem before and an solution out there??

 

It's a problem that is not uncommom. The search function will steer you towards prior posts. There are firms that sell refurbs in lieu of spending really big dough for OEM replacements.

I've seen used clusters on EBay, but who knows what condition they are in.

Looks like you're S.O.L. for the LCD repair...from BBA's EBay listing...

This is for a repair ofYOUR unit. We do not stock this item.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Unit:
Audi TTinstrument clusters commonly fail by the fuel and temperature gauges reading incorrectly and/or some or all gauges not registering when the vehicle is first turned on. Also illumination of the whole cluster or behind the odometer and time/date display can fail. It sometimes causes interior lights to flicker or the vehicle not to start. The center display can also develop lines making it unreadable.

Note: At the present time we are not repairing problems with the center display.
This is fora rebuild of your cluster. As each cluster is unique, an own unit rebuild avoids the need for re-programming and key coding, saving you money. All work is covered by a lifetime warranty.
