My LCD display on cluster is bad. I was thinking of replacing my entire cluster assembly from a private seller (parting out his car). Will this actually fix the problem?

Also would like to know if I retain my original mileage display or whatever the replacement cluster has will be the mileage.

do a search on the forum and you will find there is an aftermarket for the LCD screen ~$100

DO NOT BUY A NEW CLUSTER! After 1k miles you will not be able to program it to your car and then you will not have mileage at all...

Let me clarify turbo's yelling.

Do not buy a used cluster; as stated, they have issues with synching. The cost of a new cluster at a dealer is probably not worth the money, if all you have is the blank MFD in hot weather problem. I went through that because I'm **** and I love debt. The price was $1,700 from a dealer, plus they need to recode it, so throw in a couple hundred on top of that. I did get a free loaner, though.

They are definitely hit or miss, though, both in terms of working at all and of how they work.

I am looking for a used w203 screen that someone has replaced that was fading around the edges. Please let me know if you have one.
