Mk3 Gti Multi Function Display

[clivusdel]

my M/F/D has decided to hide?

only some of the digits appear sometimes.

if button is pushed, you can see some digits still change, but un-readable.

any ideas what may cause this?

Sounds like the display is fecked. Don't think you can change it individually, so new clocks time I think.

^^As above you will need to change the cluster

[clivusdel]

someone said it may be a bad connection?
or maybe dampness?

[Khare]

It's common for old plasma displays to mess up mate, it happens with age. Don't think damp or a bad connection would cause that.

you can try and re-plug them in (they can get loose)....although after several set's of mk3 clocks failing I guess like the other posters

pull the dash fuse for 30 seconds then put it back in, or the battery -ve
