instrument panel

[preedster]

Hi all,

I am currently running around in a 2.5 v6 and my problem is that the previous owner for some reason or another has fitted an instrument panel from a diesel car and obviously I have a diesel gauge instead of a petrol one although there is no problem in this itself it does not look right so if I fitted one from a donor car would it plug and play

Take a look at what I do (click the banner or follow the links).
Many members here now have customised dials to suit their own car and personality...

there is a 25% discount for paid up club members

You only need to change the dial face & there are plenty of spare ones knocking around. If you change the complete instrument cluster, you will need some expert help to get it to work. Besides your fuel gauge surely your rev counter and speedo aren't reading correctly?

Hi vindaloo as far as I am aware my speedo and rev counter are working fine

Contact Marinabrian, he might have spare petrol facias, I sent him complete IPK down but it was scrap :duh:

To answer your original question, no it wont be ok just fitting another one, they need to be coded to the car.

Thanks phil that's what I wanted to know, also thanks to other members for letting me know that all I have to do is change dials, had a butchers at klarzys work and its got me thinking

[Phil-T4]

Changing the dials will not work as the rev counter reading will then be incorrect!

Changing the dials will not work as the rev counter reading will then be incorrect!

But dials custom or standard will be required..

Hi Phil,

firstly if I just change the diesel gauge for a petrol one will it affect the rev counter and secondly from what I can ascertain is that I need another instrument panel fit it and then have a T4 session to get it all working correctly

Hi Paul,
If you bring your car to me i can sort it all out for you, i have spare overlays and will reprogram your instrument panel to match your car.
