Default Flashing LED Numbers Indication?

http://tinypic.com/r/2lctw0k/5

If anyone knows what those numbers indicate when they are flashing,
please help it normal happens after a good 4 hours of driving my car. Sometimes it will happen after a hour or so, but mostly after a long drive on the way back is when it will pop up and continuous flash till I shut off the car and start it back up or just press the button.

I can change it back to gas-mpg etc... and the LED where that "N" is will light up so I'm pretty sure the LEDs there are not bad.

2:00 And what looks to be a "N" <--- not sure though

Your LCD screen is starting to go bad.

They are damaged by heat/old age/vibration. That would make sense since it happens after being used/on for a long drive

Well I can understand that When it is hot out the top part always goes dim but comes back full strength later on.

But this still doesn't tell me what that flashing sequence of numbers with some characters on the end means, unless you are saying that the instrument cluster is going bad and that is what it is indicating, but I don't think that's what your saying.

What I am trying to find out is what the 2:00 flashing every 2 seconds means. Im sure it is something someone on this forum knows for sure.

Its all good, I figured it out from another Audi Forum supposedly It is a indication that you have drove for 2 hours and you need to stop and take a 10-15 minute break, so Its no biggie.
