Title: Replacement MFA screens
Post by: ydsparts on 25 July 2016, 17:44: Hello all, just to let you know that a friend and I have been developing new MFA LCD screens which will be available very soon. Price is still to be sorted but won't break the bank. Will come with full instuctions showing you how to replace the screen. The kit will include new contact strips and a new screen. I have just received the sample screens this week so am hoping the new screens will be available to sell within the next month.

Post by: Brighouse-gti on 26 July 2016, 22:11: What would be really good is if they were to illuminate when you push the MFA button, so you can see the display in the dark!

Post by: Rhgbristol on 27 July 2016, 09:15: Better still use a white based 2w bulb sold for the VW T25 clocks.

Don't bother with led versions - the ones I've tried have been a poor fit and contacts go iffy after a few days.

As the access to the back of the clocks, including the vacuum pipe is such a swine to achieve, the last thing you want is to have to pull the clocks out a few days later when the aftermarket LEDs start playing up!

Post by: lemski on 27 July 2016, 09:55: I got some from eBay. Best bulbs ive had.

Cheers, Jamie.

Post by: Brighouse-gti on 19 April 2017, 20:02: If you search for ydsparts on google (who this thread was started by) you should find their online shop (bikes I think they do)... See if you can get in touch with them that way to see if they are doing the screens 😇

Post by: ydsparts on 06 June 2017, 07:58: Hi all, the chips are now here, had a bit of hassle sorting them out but all tested and fine now. They are £30 posted anywhere in the UK. PM me or email me at alasdair@ydsparts.com for one. They will fit any MFA Mk1 and Mk2. Also Jetta as well as early Scirocco. Basically anything with an MFA and single screen.
