Thank you! That helped. But I did damaged some of the pins. Is it even possible to perfectly open those panels considering plastic is 18 years old 😆 I guess in that battle - metal clips VS plastic - the winner is obvious...

Thanks for sharing this tutorial. It was a great help. Instead of resoldering I used the heat gun method. Just be careful not to melt the plastic case. I probably only used the heat gun on high for about 20 seconds.

Kind of wish it was possible to delete that little display entirely. An aftermarket double din head unit renders it useless anyway

Yep may radio display work now, but my kmh don't work showing zero all the time

The digital Speedo on mine started flickering on and off. Then goes off all together for a while, then flickers again I've got it out and wiggling the wiring plug makes no difference Will it need same thing as this to fix so you know? Thanks

Thank you 👍 Took me two attempts as my soldering on the first made it a bit better but not perfect - second time round took minutes to get the clock out and using flux in the second go improved the whole process. Is perfect now thanks to your tutorial 😊

The speedometer struggle is real, i broke mine and now my moms gonna kill me.

Thanks for sharing this - just fixed the display (well I removed and refitted and my son did the soldering) teamwork is dream work! Let’s hope it lasts as long as yours has! Really good step by step tutorial!

Awesome video.. thank you for sharing. Helped me to fix it myself with any problems 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Anyone having trouble removing the clock unit from the dash, i found prising the left side off first was a lot easier than taking the right side out. I ended up pushing it back into place and tried this way and it come straight out 👍🏻

Great video thanks - finally fixed this problem today - been driving me nuts. I had to add solder to each pin to be sure of a good connection and the flux is key to getting the initial heat transfer.

Tried this today with my brother. First i used the multimeter to test the connections and some really hadn't continuity. He reheated the solder on the pins and some in the small mounts also. Tested every pin with the multimeter again, every one of those connections had continuity. Still isnt working, only shows vertical lines 😓

Good video guide. One thing I would add for anyone who isn't confident with using a soldering iron on such fine connections, you can achieve the same results using SOLDER GLUE applied with the end of a cocktail stick to each connection and the results will work just as well, but your chances of messing up the PCB are much lower.

Thank you! You saved me some money. I did what you showed in the clip in early August 2023. The display has now been in both very hot and very cold weather and it still working perfectly fine. I haven't seen the display faded out ever since. I am fairly amateur at soldering, so I can confirm that this is a fairly easy fix. The hardest part was getting that plastic cover that is above the display.

After watching this video I decided to call my display a loss and use and old smartphone with a speed display app instead.

I'm wondering what if just that main connector going into this panel has a contact issue? How do we know that it's the solder joints?

Can you do a video showing how to change the background color for this display? I want mine to be blue with white words like the main display if possible. Thank you in advance!

I’m going to replace with another unit as my solder effort was rubbish. Do you know if it’s coded to that vehicle or can an eBay replacement just slot in? Thanks in advance

Thanks for video, helped me replace mine.

Hi, is anyone in the London area that would be willing to fix this for me ? Obviously would pay for it to be done

Thanks for the video, actually taking the speed-meter was somehow easy, i did exactly how you putted it and it came right off, hearing how you said it was a pain in the ass i was ready for the hassle haha. Did a pretty sloppy job with the solding but that annoying issue is resolved now. Honda fined me for 600 euros for the replacement, which i found ridiculous.

What type of connector is it on the back of the display?

Dankeschön!

Thanks a lot. Very good explained. Fixed it in about 20 min.

If you break clips you are doing it wrong and using too much force, there's a video on youtube where it's easier to use Lego pry tools to aid in the removal (they seem to give you a little more leverage than trim tools)

OMG! I need to do this, but just by watching your video my blood pressure was up in the sky and I wanted to scream. I will need serious sedative to start this. Those plastic clips... Anyway, awesome video! Thank you for taking your time to make it and share with us!

Awesome video, really helped in understanding the rootcause and then apply the fix Fixed my display using the video as a guide

Thanks, did it on LHD model, worked like a charm. Though the speedo next to the display doesn't sit quite right anymore for some reason after reassembling.. oh well..

I've the same problem in the rpm section behind the steering wheel... There's a fix also for this?

Just fixed my display. Watched also this video and followed the steps. The speed display back clip was hard. Couldn't understand how to get that off. Unfortunately that i broke.

It's the backlight on mine that's the issue. Whilst I've lost a few bits of the LCD display, I found that soldering didn't do anything to fix them. Guess I should multi-meter check each contact but other comments suggest the back light isn't directly related to the solder points.

This video convinced me to tackle this job. Thx for the information. Removing the panels can and will be incredibly frustrating. It took me 2(!!) hours to get them all off. Cruelly though, i managed to break one of the clips when putting everything back together 😀. The five pins furthest from the connector were very loose on mine but all pins got some extra soldering. Screen is working perfect again. Unfortunately there's now a loud rattle on bad surfaces which could be due to the broken clip.

Great tutorial but when you listed ‘ability to not lost your temper’ I realised I probably ought to get someone else to tackle it. 😂

Hi what would happen if the solder connects with the next pin cheers

Started doing the same repair and it became very obvious that someone has been inside this unit before. Anyway, great instructions!

The problem I have is that the air conditioning is not reflected on the radio display, I checked all the connections and resolved the screen (the time and radio looks perfect) but when I turn on the A/C it works but it is not seen on the screen Do you know if there is an internal fuse or something... thanks for the video

Great guide, got the trim panels off a lot easier with your advice.

5:30 the bit hes soldering on mine has spikey pins sticking out am i supposed to melt them down?

I've had this problem for 1 year and I finally fixed it. Thank you for such an awesome video man!

Nice cut off at 3:12. Is there any secret which one you don't want to show?

Same issue here

Thanks for sharing dude it was detailed and helpful

I found the panel comes out easier by releasing/pulling on the left hand side first and then the right side after and remove from both ends once initially released from the two clips on each end. Releasing the right hand end first causes the left hand end to jam up. The way the clips are designed,the panel has to come out and refit parallel to the facia.

Great stuff, just got a 2010 mk8 and one digit is out at the min. I'll have a go when I get more time, busy with the boot leak(s) at the moment. 🤣 Many thanks for the video.

I though that repairing display will be the hardest part, but removing speedo was impossible, it just wouldn't come out, so I gave up

I have a type r red display that doesnt work, and type s with blue display that works, however i want to scrap that type s car now so was thinking i could take the panel out and put it intot the type r.. would this work?!

I've done all the instruction and even bought a second hand as it wasn't working but both display had light on only around the edges. Anyone have any idea where the fault would be? Maybe a fuse?

I need to do this to mine again. My repair lasted about 6months before the display segments started breaking up again.

2:50 is the most understated ammount of frustration I've ever had... That display clip on the left is hell.

Thanks for the video. My 56 plate has this issue but also has the same problem with the backlight for the rev counter, other than this and a water leak that i cannot locate its been a great car for 5 years!
