I have found a supplier for the LCD screens that go bad in the instrument clusters for the late model B5 A4/S4/Passat and am thinking of setting up a repair service. Would anyone be intereste in it? Not sure of the details but total cost should be sub $200 range. Let me know.

but at this point I just leave it off and put my money to more fun mods and maint.

definitive on it being the connector as stated below.

-dead pixels
-dead rows/columns
-fading display

Mine is the fading display and is temp related. Makes me think that the LCD heater is stuck in the "on" position or something (thermocouple?)

I should have been more clear. You cannot just replace the screen the cable is bonded on their which is a manufacturing procedure I cannot duplicate. I will be replacing the LCD with the ribbon cable which has the controller chip on it. It is all one unit that is soldered to the circuit board(which I can do).
Just looking for interest to see how many I should order, volume discounts over 25pcs better over 100pcs.

Fading display sounds more like a problem with the illuminator which is behind the screen. Don't know about that one.

M.S.G.

If you can fix, I'm in.
