Digital display works when car is cold, but fades out after 5-10 minutes of running. On a warm or hot day it will be faded out at all times.

The dashboard display in my VW Passat faded whenever the weather was hot but I had it fixed at www.lcdautotech.com and it works great now.

Digital display went out, then came back on for a short while flashing parts of numbers. Currently the clock is blank and the odometer is clearly visible but frozen. It just happen this morning so I haven't taken it in to be fixed yet.

The lower cluster was completely red when I purchased the car. I only got it inspected since I was lucky enough to find a sympathetic garage owner. I am not sure whether this completely red lower screen means that it needs to be replaced or not.
