Bright Sparkle At Base Of Speedo' Needle 2016 Highline T6

[rod_vw]

As the title says, at a certain speed range in this case about 50mph the base of the speedo' needle is illuminated very brightly even in daylight.

My dealer has changed the instrument cluster once but it is still much the same. They are now saying that all T6s of this specification are the same. The instrument part number from VCDS is 7E0 920 970L just for reference and when changed by the dealer it became an 'LX' variant which as far as I know is a factory reconditioned indication.

Has anyone else got the same problem?

Yep been through this, two warranty cluster replacements plus a steering wheel, gear knob and new dashboard because the dealer made a right royal mess of it the first time around. All to no avail as no change.

Asked the question over on the FB group a while back (before discovering this forum) and it is pretty common. Also seems to depend on how tall you are and seating position,. Seen it on a couple since myself too...

Has anyone managed to get an instrument cluster fitted which doesn't have this problem?

Slight detour of this topic, are the dials on the clocks accessible and if so are the lit red by a red LED at the base of the dial or is the dial red?
