The contact own a 2002 Audi S4. The center instrument panel display intermittently failed to illuminate. When the failure occurred half of the display was well lit while the other half was not. Occasionally there was also an odor similar to electrical smoke. The dealer was not notified of the failure since the lights on the instrument panel do not remain illuminated. The driver stated that a cable may be disconnected within the instrument panel which may be a common problem. The failure has occurred intermittently for one year. The failure mileage was 85,000.

1. purchased a 2002 Audi S4 2.7T. 2. the auto check system in the instrument cluster does not work especially when warm. The lcd ribbon cable looses contact and doesn't display the information it should. Critical safety information is no longer displayed. 3. was quoted obscene amounts by Audi dealers to replace entire instrument cluster. $250 for a used cluster that would need the odometer adjusted for an additional fee.
