I take it you mean a line of dead pixels . If so it's probably a new display required.

I doubt it, as its not just a screen swop that would be needed for that (i am assuming you mean the white screen).

yeah meant the white screen! Can they just swap the screens of does it have to be the full instrument cluster?
have spoken to vw today via email and they havent ruled out the possibility of not touching the screen at all! apprently a line of dead pixels isnt considered a fault. Got the car booked in for friday where they will plug it in a validate whether its a fault or not!
