MFA Display

[Keyo 47]

Anyone got a failing MFA display screen ? Below link has the repair.

 

Came across this company in Germany whilst looking for some gear cog wheel for my mechanical odometer on my Golf- just need to determine how many cogs it has I think 21.

 

Here is the screen.

Good find - the later ones rarely go bad from what I have seen so far, touch wood. I think it's more related to a voltage spike or faulty regulator, and this then damages the MFA and LCD.

Wish I had found it earlier I forked out £200 and something for a new binnacle circuit last year from Classics! From memory though they only had the Golf MK2 available when I looked so a new product on the market, think I might still buy one as have the old unit still so will be a good spare. My old one the first digit would only show half the number intermittently so I guess it was starting to fail.

Sometimes the conductive rubber strips move from the board causing the display to fail. You can remove, clean and replace

I was hoping that was my problem but unfortunately it did not resolve it.

Yeah this happened to me Hassan, when I took it apart to go back to OEM green. The MFA is fine , but the rubbers moved on the other screen, I tried so hard to get it all slotted in nicely, but I ended up with said screen very slightly less brighter than the MFA one .
