Instrument Cluster Problem

[Matus]

Hi, recently I have noticed strange sound from the instrument cluster, when starting the car (during the starting "show").

I've realized that it goes from the rpm.

It is not disturbing during driving, but I am afraid that it could stuck and damage.

As I am not in the warranty anymore, I try first to fix it by myself. Do you know how to remove the cluster?

thanks for help.

Instrument cluster is not that hard to remove but I would advise caution taking your old one apart .I have worked extensively on these units and it would be easy to damage .I would try and get a hold of a spare one from salvage /scrap etc as these units cost about £1500 to buy .If you go down this road I can synchronise your odometer to your own reading.

hi there

did u come right with this issue? wat was the problem.and will it cause the cluster not to work eventually?or is it jus something to neglect

basically I did nothing.

I tried to de-mount it. It is fixed on the botton with 2 screws, however it is somehow fixed also from the top, where I could not see how it is fixed. Also, obviously it is not possible to demount it without demounting the steering wheel which I did not want to.

So I let it as it is and time will tell.
