Odo/Trip & Time date displays failing
1999 A8 D2 FL 2.8 2WD
The Odo/Trip and Time/date displays are just barely legible at first start on a cool morning and become rapidly illegible as things warm up. Appears to be the displays themselves are faulty. I know this isn't a new question. I have had a trawl of this (and other) forums. This is what I found on this forum. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=15315 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=12914 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=13040 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=12556 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/album.php?albumid=118 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=12007 Possibly I could send the cluster away to one of the many cluster repair companies. I'm not keen on this idea as the car is my daily driver and if the cluster went astray, getting the car running again would be a world of pain. Also, I'm cheap and can drive a soldering iron quite well..... So, my main questions: Has anyone ever found a source for the two offending displays? This bigger central ones.... easy. These two I cannot find. Failing a new source, what probability I could salvage a the displays from (say) a B6 A4 cluster or similar and transplant? Anyone tried? Cheers Nick |

You could try contacting Sacer:
https://www.sacer-shop.com/car-brand/audi.html I've bought a few things from them in the past and they were very helpful. It's possible they might be willing to source the parts if they don't have something compatible in stock.

Hello all.
I have sent the below email to Sacer and Totaltronics. I'll let you know if I get a response. "Hi* In the attachment is a picture of the screen fitted to the above car (Audi s8 d2 2002) . As with many cars of this age, they start to fail. I can't find anyone who has any of these as a DIY or a complete repair service. Can you help at all.* Thanks Frank*

Reply from Totaltronics.
Hi Frank, unfortunately none of our suppliers has such screen in their offer. Usually it's because either the car is too rare or the part doesn't fail, hence there is no market for it. Kind regards Patryk totaltronics.com
