Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I have used Howards instruments on other non Porsche gauge clusters - they were good but service was slow because they do some many cluster repairs.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, on my 997.1 S, the LCD screen on the bottom of the tacho is not good. Faded and looks like the screen itself is broken, as there is an orange alien looking thing growing in the corner. Actually the photos don't to it justice. Looks far worse for real. Has anyone purchased and replaced the cluster? Any ideas where you would get one? thanks Tim

I imagine that will be quite expensive for a little issue like that. Can't speak for whether or not they are any good or not, but have seen this ad on gumtree: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/alexandria/other-parts-accessories/porsche-986-996-cayenne-and-vw-touareg-instrument-cluster-repair/1159497030

POST 3Original post

Think there are 987 dash parts on eBay (from Germany) .. should not be too hard to pull a part and resolder a new LCD screen in. I can't see the LCDs now. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_ssn=exotic-parts&LH_PrefLoc=2&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=987&_sacat=0

Finally got a hold of a 987 cluster for mine to replace the glass. Would this LCD be swapable?

POST 6Original post

Saw this on Gumtree, no affiliation and haven't used them they just have a 997 screen in their ad: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/alexandria/other-parts-accessories/porsche-986-996-cayenne-and-vw-touareg-instrument-cluster-repair/1159497030 I have used Howards instruments on other non Porsche gauge clusters - they were good but service was slow because they do some many cluster repairs.
