VDO speedometer LCD display problems

[m2711c]

Howdy,

 

So the LCD screen for the odometer on my VDO speedometer done gone crazy...

 

 

 

 

 

Anybody else have issues with the LCD screen going crazy when it gets hot? When it was cooler last fall, it would take a while before the engine heat would cause it to start flaking out. In the current heat wave, she ain't waiting to flake out. It will read normally when cool. It seems the actual odometer info is still there and this is just a display problem.

 

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did you try to repair it, or didja just replace it?

 

Youtube shows replacement could possibly be straight forward, though that is rarely the case for me with my irish luck..

 

 

 

 

and the part is not that expensive,(assuming they will ship to the us)

Any thoughts, opinions or advice on how to deal with this would be appreciated!

check VDO's web page:

I had failure with my VDO Speedometer a few years ago. sent it to a VDO Sanctioned repair co (IIRC somewhere in southeast). they very quickly repaired & returned it at fraction of replacement cost.
