2000 Audi A4 1.8

Is there a knob on the dash to turn the light up? My 96 S6 has one tho not sure about A4s.

My 2000 A4 has one.

Check out audiworld.com and do a search on faded display and you will find this is a common problem. Apparently about $600 to fix; over $400 for the part. According to my Haynes manual you have to remove the steering wheel. It all sounds like a PIA to me.

thanks! I figured it would be as much. Wow.

sure you did...

Had this problem on my -98 A6. Dealer fixed it for free (within 3 years). They would take 50% of the cost within 5 years. Conclusion: Have a chat with your dealer ASAP to find out whether your cars's still within any warranty coverage - even partial. I would have been outside the 3-years limit only a couple of weeks after I got it fixed...

The prices quoted for the repair does not seem high to me as the complete instrument cluster was replaced on my A6. Can't imagine you get that for $400-$600? (or is it just me being used to norwegian pricing...?)
