urq digital dashes and trunk leaks

[Dave.Eaton]

steve,

no, as far as i recall, apart from the early analogue dash models, the euro
ur-q only had the one change in dash.  the mb and rr with the orange lcd and
sans the voice.  there was no orange lcd display available before that.
possible of course that there was some "leakage" of the display on some wr's
though i suppose.  however, the fasteners around the dash also changed for
the later lcd panel, so, for example, the later computer switch is much
shorter than the early one...

hth,

My '85 has had a dead digital dash since I got it, but I believe it's the
green-lit unit as I saw it in the car two years earlier.  What is the
history/progression of the digital dash units and how interchangeable are
they?  Dave Lawson's write-up on the The Ultimate Ur-quattro Home Page
mentions a green digi dash being offered in '84 on the Euro "Series 2" and
an orange dash in '88 on the "Series 3".  It appears that there was  a red
digi dash offered on the European cars prior to that, as Ralf has one for
sale he pulled out of his car.  Is it a direct swap?
