Hello to everybody.
I have read about this issue on the forum before but am unable to locate the information I have seen previously. I have this error on my diesel 75 which occurred after the alternator failed. As I understand the memory chip on the instrument cluster becomes corrupt or damaged and needs to be replaced. After it is replaced it can be backed up with information which is stored in other modules within the car. From information I have read I gather that it is not as simple as just obtaining a new memory chip which are readily available and soldering it in. The chip has to have a certain amount of programming carried out before it can be used in the instrument cluster. I am sure that I read here that somebody was able to do that part. That is my question, is it possible to obtain the prepared memory chip? Many thanks in advance. Stephen.
