from my previous experiences (twice), the whole meter cluster have to be changed. They usually don't repair it individually.

 

First experience was with a van and the part not working is actually the odometer. doesn't bother me that much, otherwise it's 300-400 for a re-con.

 

My second experience was with my current ride and the tachometer is not stable, thus affecting the engine rev. lucky it was covered under warranty

 

I presume you are not referring to those alarm clock style guage?

 

 

Hope that help a bit [:)]

Did that, somehow it is intermitten, hence it cannot be fuse. Never experience more than a Skoda, Drove many cars before, but this one has all the experiences in it....laugh.gifunsure.gif

Did they tell you what was down....if it is so, then I will rather strip it myself and do something.

 

Somehow I feel, it got to do with electrical contacts. Especially when I turn into a certain degree of sharp left corner, and it is gone.

For both vehicle, apparently the stuff inside is much more micro and required very delicate handling, thus they rather change the whole thingy than to repair.

 

Frankly, for the Astra, I believe those people at the agent wouldn't even know what is wrong and how to fix it, so the best solution for them is to change..

 

for the van, it's less of electronic and mechanical (I presume) but then, stripping the cluster really need some work and time.

 

I don't really recommend you stripping it down but if you really want to, maybe you can check out eBay UK for a replacement 1st. Taking it out is easy, putting it back is the challenging part.

 

apologies, can't really help you much beside the above. [:/]
