Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Hi All,
Hope you're well. To cut a long story short, I've got a few extra pixels on my climate control unit (probably as a result of a harsh winter and low battery - only found out on startup!)
Anyhoo, I'm expecting the worst - £500 for a replacement, but hoping for the best: a quick and easy fix
I see a few on ebay for about £150, which still stings a bit tbh.
Is it common and reparable?
Cheers,
Dan :thumbs:
Looks like a pretty standard LCD leak, not sure where you found them for £150 on ebay but this is £47.95, had the same kit myself, dead easy fix 30 mins worst case.

If it is a board problem issue which I'm pretty certain it's not by the picture. It's worth noting the old Audi A3 climate controller like below has the exact same circuit board inside to swap in and cost a fraction of the cost second hand than the Porsche units do.

Cheers for the links and info guys
Really helpful - I've heard back from the guys at frazerpart now
Looks pretty straightforward tbh (I've had the dash apart before when installing the new stereo).

Will have a look further and get an order in - just have to find some time to do it now
