Looking for some help if possible.

Not trying to do anything illegal or dodgy but i need to see if anyone knows how to winfback the mileage on a 2nd Gen Speedo ?

Reason being is a few of the lights and the fuel gauge on my original one have stopped working so i have purchased another one.

Problem is the one i bought has 450000km on the clock but my original has 190000km and i want them to match up.

Can it be done ?

Sparky pulled one of these apart, readjusted the speedo and refitted, all on YouTube.

He'll come along soon, Sparky....Hey Sparky....We need you....

Yep :) It easy got a YouTube video in the DIY section.

I will post a link shortly.

thanks guys

looking forward to watching how it's done.

LOL.... Thanks Sparky.....

Here the video. Hope it helps :)

sparky enjoy the help i and other members have recieved from you
but why would you post this link
its illegal
hulkstar try a wtb thread or the wreckers for a low km speedo

Its only illegal if he puts it in a car, and fails to declare it if he does.....

You'll need to fill in a Stat Dec and get it signed if you plan to sell it on.

I didnt wind anything back or forward I match one cluster to the cluster in the car. So I done nothing illegal :) It up to the watcher to realise you cant wind back.


Anyway I cant sell my car as the car gone past it sell by date :P Who would want a 338 thousand km car anyway lol

Its not illegal, Its only illegal to sell on a car with FALSE Kms. you can send a digital 3rd gen one to a company and they will set whatever kms you like on it.

back to the op,s post how hard is it to replace lights and fuel gaugeon a second gen dash

Easy, get the cluster out replace lamps, and you can open the cluster and replace the fuel gauge :)

Have you checked the back of the cluster to see if the odometer/speedo block is removable like the third gens? If so you can swap over the whole odometer/face into the new cluster without having to risk damaging it.

The third gen has 4 screws holding the speedo/odometer in. I pulled my factory cluster apart to reset the kms to actual (from 330,000 to 390,000).

so no winding back needed.

Speedo is removable hold in by 5 screws but I needed to change the kms as my speedo was different to my original. So I needed to change the kms :)

Thank you soooooo much sparky, messed up my dash and got another one, only prob was mine had 170k on it and the new one had 299k lol tried winding it back to match but as mentioned it can't be done :P

will be doing this tomorrow!
