Odo LED Display Blotches

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
I looked at an '06 MR today. One of its few faults were what I can best describe as blotches in the odo LED display. At first I thought these discolorations were from overspray of cleaning product or amorall on the clear plastic cover over the gage cluster. When I went to wipe it off that is when I realized it was on the display inside. Has anyone seen this condition or know what it is; and can it be fixed?
Thanks!

Hmmm... The blotches are more like liquid splashes on the surface of the LED display, but I can't see how it would get inside the cluster. Could be condensation though, had not thought of that.
The car does have a really clean history and low miles.
This would be something I would have looked at during a PPI.

My 2004 has what looks like water marks on the LCD display between the gauges. I would say it's something that's not uncommon.
