I know they have an excellent kit for replacing the climate control LCD.
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 attached a photo of the gauges in my car - not sure if it is appearing) There's a cluster of pixels that aren't supposed to be there -
Could somebody tell me if this pixilation cluster in one of my gauges can be fixed, or do I have to replace the whole set? If it can be fixed, how do I do that? 2nd question - I've seen a set of white-faced gauges for sale on Ebay - is it possible to replace mine with those white-face plates? Thanks -
Sure, you can do it or have it done for you fairly reasonably.
Here is one reputable place that fix it for you:
https://modulemaster.com/rebuilds/sh...sche-911-2003/
You can get kits to do it yourself as well.
There are all kinds of options for gauge faces, FVD makes nice ones (but pricey) you can find cheap ones on eBay. Here is a nice selection of FVD ones from a reputable source:

Seems to me that there are cold weather pixellation issues that sometimes go away when things warm up, but I don't recall the details. Up here it gets pretty cold, but I don't drive my 996es in the winter.
I think you are referring to 914rubber.com. I know they have an excellent kit for replacing the climate control LCD. Not sure if they have the other screens. Mark, the owner, is a great guy. Send him an email.
Has your car been exposed to extreme cold? If so, it might heal itself once it gets warm again. Mine did:

Hi -- just bought it less than a month ago, and until this past Monday it really hasn't been all that cold, so no - I don't think so. I doubt I'll get around to replacing the cluster till Spring anyway, so I can see if it clears up by itself.
Thanks -
I take the opportunity to ask a related topic.
I want to change my gauges from US spec to Euro Spec.
- Can it be done just changing the faces?
if not,
- Do you know any recommendation about where to send them to do it?
Thanks!
Uh.... I just bought this thing a month ago, & am in no way a Porsche expert... so I'm PRETTY sure its a C2, but I'm not sure that's what you mean by .1 or .2... I haven't taken it out yet so no numbers.... if you can tell me how to differentiate the .1 and .2.... I'll be glad to look.
You can tell by lcd displays....if you look at my cluster that is a .2 compatible only with 3.6 and 3.8 engine for 996.2 and 997.1 ecu. Yours is a .1 only good for 996.1 (1999-2001) non turbo
I�m no expert, but the gist is that the .1 and .2 people are using in this thread refer to internal model designations for the 996 generation 911. The .1 (996.1) is the first generation 996, and the .2 (996.2) is the facelifted second generation of the 996 body style. Your 2001 is a 996.1. 2002 was the first year of the 996.2.
