Keep the original head unit
Where the touch layer is at fault, I can often keep the factory unit and its existing vehicle integration.

Tell me what the screen is doing
A few quick choices will help work out whether this sounds like a touch-layer fault or something that needs a wider check.
The exact unit matters.
I'll check the full suffix and a clear photo before I accept the repair.

Likely touchscreen repair
Important
This gives you a useful starting point. I'll confirm the unit and photos before accepting the job. Please use it while safely parked.
Why repair it?
Keep the original system in the vehicle
I focus on VW Group infotainment touchscreens and check every enquiry against the unit, screen layout and symptoms.
I come to you
I work from my Caddy at suitable homes and workplaces around Lincoln on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Prepared and insured
The van carries a proper mobile repair setup, and VW Screen Fix has £2 million public liability insurance.
I check the unit first
Send me the vehicle details and photos. I will confirm whether this repair fits the screen before we book.
Two-year screen warranty
If the replacement touchscreen I fit develops a fault within two years, I will fit another new touchscreen at no charge.
You know the price first
I confirm the service and any agreed travel or postage cost before starting work.
Fault symptoms
What are you seeing?
A normal picture with poor or missing touch response is a useful clue. I'll still check the screen and unit details because similar symptoms can have different causes.
Read the repair guideNo touch response
The display lights up, but pressing the screen does nothing.
Ghost touches
Menus move or buttons select themselves without a finger on the glass.
Dead areas
One side, corner or strip of the touchscreen stops responding.
Incorrect selections
Pressing one option activates another part of the screen.
Intermittent operation
The fault comes and goes, often changing with temperature.
Cracked touch layer
The visible display may work, but the touch-sensitive layer has failed.
Repair versus replacement
Repair the failed touch layer
A targeted digitiser repair can keep the original factory appearance and existing vehicle integration, while avoiding the coding complications that can come with a different head unit.
I'll check the exact unit and fault first. LCD, internal electronics, wiring and head-unit faults need a different repair route.

Some faults are in the touch layer, while others involve the LCD, software, wiring or head unit. I will check the symptoms and exact unit before confirming a booking.
