"I have a late 1999 1.9tdi and I'm told that the LX cluster is for a 1.6 Petrol". Could tell you were British due to the "Petrol Engine". The LED unit alone can be replaced..there are several vendors of the LEDs in the US. I have heard that soldering them is a bugger though, and you really need to hand it to a place that does radio repair or similar.

You need to check who manufacture the cluster you have, VDO uses different LCD, bosch and Magnetti Mirrelli uses different, the link you posted is for Bosch and MM cluster , VDO is different lcd with shorter cable

Today I've purchased an LCD cluster and a wiper arm out of a 96 or 97 A4 hoping I could switch my non LCD one out. I have a 1996 audi a4. After removing my cluster I realized that my black plug has only 8 pins instead of 20. Can I install that cluster in my car?
My cluster:

New cluster with LCD:

For some reason donor car had a red 20 pin plug instead of black.

You can install it, you will have to rewire and wire other components to make it work right,

Do you know what exactly I would have to do to make it work?

Perhaps someone would have a wiring diagram for that 8 pin plug I have on my car? I would really appreciate it.

On the first page I have provided pin layout for Full size LCD cluster that you bought, there is no pin layout for the cluster that you have originally in the car with 8 pin connector, none of the repair manuals has it all of them have info on Full size Cluster, you have to trace the wires , I am not sure if on this forum go through each page or other forum someone was doing that but don't know if he posted his findings about the 8 pin connector

Okay, thank you for your help

Hi audifirst,
I think I am the person you are referring to about the 8-pin socket. We talked in Oct 2011.
My notes show:
1. The connector is 10 pins, but the socket on the cluster is 8 pins.
2. The part 8D0 919 272B on the cluster is a separate plugin unit that displays the gear (just automatic?) selection and the outside temp. When we talked, my outside temp never worked and I found out I was missing 3 wires from the harness that goes to this connector. The dealer said I needed a new temp computer.
3. Pin out of the connector:
Pin Colour Description
1 Blk/Red. +ve
2 ???
3 Brn/Yel Outside air temp
4 Gry/Blu Back light
5 ???
6 Brn ground
7 Wht/Blu Speed signal 2
8 Blk/Brn Transmission selector
9 Brn ground
10 ???

Hope this helps people out. And sorry for not posting my work in 2011!
