Hi guys,
I have a 00' A6 1.8T.

In the instrument cluster it has the center LCD, that has a problem with faded pixels. the usual story... better in cold, worst when hot.
It drives me crazy so I bought from ebay the replacement lcd, to try and fix it, getting something similar to that one:



now, after recieving it, I notice that my LCD has a split apperence: more like that one (not mine, pic from the net):



rather than that:





I vereified before ordering that it is for the C5 A6, and will fit in a 00 A6.
Can it be a regional difference? Can it be that doth configuratiopns have the same screen inside?

Thanks!

 

Looks to me like the "split" is just a plastic piece on the console. The screen underneath is just a full panel like the one you ordered.

I have an '02 and my cluster is the bottom pic but the screen has an upper and lower display field.

I suppose my best guess is that both configurations have the same screen inside.

Keep us updated on how it goes.

 

Thanks for your insight. Will do!
