2001 VW Passat climate control display - sinbad
I bought a VW Passat 2001 1.8 T recently and the climate control unit was missing but having installed a new one the controls are working and heat is coming out but the blue lcd display will not light up. I have tried installing another unit to see if the unit was faulty but it did the same with that one as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Black LCD letters/symbols with a whitish rear light on my 2001 Passat PD climate control display..

Apologies. I was thinking what display looked like in daylight.
Indeed at nightime it is blue. Brain fade.

Don't know if this helps but our company Galaxy had a similar problem it either didn't light up or when it did it flashed intermittently plus it was down on gas. The local Skoda garage diagnosed the low pressure, regassed it and reset the unit via VAG-COM.
