Blurred? Er... I don't know. Maybe the photo got corrupted during upload? Someone should check that out...

lol @ the blurred area. If only Audi was better about alerting us of software updates. Well I hope it doesn't happen for you again. Was it a hot day?

So what gives with the blurred speedo? At 2400 rpm in a 6MT it would be less than 70mph, I guess a bit more in an automatic but hardly the crime of the century

I had it happen to me a couple of weeks ago...no unusual heat or anything else. After I restarted the car about 2 hours later, was fine. Hasn't happened again. Odd

Got my gauge cluster replaced under the TSB below for this issue.

I only had the white screen happen once 2 months ago. And it has not happened again before or after the cluster was replaced.

I mentioned this problem to them. They could not find any fault codes but did find a TSB on it. They are going to replace the cluster once one comes in. It supposedly has upgraded software as well or maybe its the firmware thats upgraded.

TSB 2029781/1 .

Thanks for the TSB info! Keep us posted as to what will be replaced. I have my 25K service comming up in a few weeks will mention. I managed to snap a photo with my I-phone so there is no B.S.!

Sorry, my last post was a bit unclear because I cut and paste part of it from an AZ forum post.

I already got the cluster replaced about one month ago. It took about one hour. The entire guage cluster was replaced. I have not had any repeat occurances but it only happened once before the cluster was replaced. It was also not related to heat or ambient temperatures from what I can tell.
