I just fixed my display. Works perfectly. I made replacement gear out of stainless steel. Have a few more if somebody is interested.

I am interested, I was about to take mine apart and try to copy in a nylon type plastic - I have access to cad/cam and a vertical mill with a 1mm cutter but it is just time to do it.

What sort of price are you thinking?

I went this route last year thinking it would be a lifetime repair (I had already had it replaced once under warranty by Audi). His instructions were good and I didn't think it was too difficult to do.

Unfortunately, he only changed the metal gear lifting the screen and now the plastic gear for the door is stripped, so I have to push it by hand to help it along. Frustrating!

I decided to go with steel because that gear is very stressed. Not only opening and closing display but holding it opened while car is jumping potholes and cracks. I plan to make two more gars there. Just in case.

Price wise, $75+$5 (US/Canada shipping) will cover costs and buy me a lunch.

As I said, I plan to make that gear and one on the motor.

That is good, if it's OK with you, I would like to buy a set please?

How can I go about paying you and arranging delivery etc...?

Is Paypal any good for you?

Postage will be to England if that is ok?
