I used these guys to repair the LCD of the climate module, and also the ABS module in my SAAB:
Leading evidence: 'Use these guys' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair cluster faults like this' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I hope it just buggers off after a while but if not a repair should not be impossible.
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.

i left the car parked out in the sun the last few day and the heat has fixed it completely (at least till it gets cold next winter I presume
I jumped in the car last week and noticed a bright yellow lit squiggly patch on the lower right hand side of the centre screen. Has anyone seen this before? Getting in the car again today and it has become worse.
yeah. I can live with it (especially at the moment (Flat broke...) as long as I can read the bits I need. I suspect I'll have to keep an eye out for a new centre gauge or something. Might try and pick one up from a wreckers.
Spread further, but it also looks like some areas have "healed" themselves. This is after about a week sitting outside. i might try getting a heater into the car and leave it there for a day or so. I've seen a few suggestions regarding moisture and maybe bumping the temp up to say 40°C for a day or so will help.
I was going to say a Strava overlay...
The self-healing is interesting. I hope it just buggers off after a while but if not a repair should not be impossible. I've removed the cluster from my 996 which was extremely easy, 987 presumably not too different. There are various places around who will repair cluster faults like this.

Both were quick, cheap and worked fine for years if I recall. It was many years back but they still appear to be there so probably still doing a good job.
With the weather warming up it seems to be starting to self heal somewhat. I can live with it for now, but I'll obviously have to fix it should the worst ever happen and I decide to sell it....
For now that is the worst i can think of. Sad thing is looking at the ODO I only got another 3,000km since August on it....
I had the same problem when I bought my car with the LCD issue appearing on my climate control unit display. Initially I dismantled the unit and coloured out the bbackside of the LCD display with a permanent marker, which looked okay at a glance, but it looked shoddy. I bought a replacement LCD panel from
Partworks.de
- Took a while to come out during these Covid-impacted times, but the swap over was quick enough and it looks brand new again.
And now it is fixed all by itself. i left the car parked out in the sun the last few day and the heat has fixed it completely (at least till it gets cold next winter I presume
)
No it didn't. I was musing just last week that it didn't come back at all this year. Car was stored pretty much the same, though driven a lot less this year so far. Looking at the ODO in the pics I have only done about 15,000km so far this year. Need to lift my game.
