Cheers!!!

There are 4 red tools included in the tool kit, they are for opening of the housing. The new shiny lcd is far more brighter than the old one. But it stands out from the other indicators that have a matte finish. But if i have to chose from original matte unreadeable, and glossy readeable, ill go with the glossy one

Varsågod. Min talade svenska är värre än min skriftliga. Men min familj är från Småland och många bor fortfarande i området. Hoppas att flytta till Stockholm de närmaste åren.

Ja där ser man ett stort minus i sverige när man kör bil med stor motor i är bensinpriset. I dagsläget ligger priset på ca 15 kr/liter. Runda slängar 2 dollar/ liter. Lycka till med flytten

When i went to work this morning i saw that the rpm and oiltemp needles is showing a little to much, rpm is showing about 100 rpm to much, and the oil temp needle movement is of by 2 mm. The other gauges seems fine. Speedometer is double checked with my code reader, that uses data from the ecu. See when i get some motivation to fix it.

Tried to upload a video of the self test of the cluster, but i cant upload video anymore from tapatalk.

I did my cluster a while back. Tedious and a steady hand, a quiet place with good lighting and patience following the details to the letter. I used this guy's solution:

Did the mid unit today. Looks great, all pixels lit up again. Sorry no pics of the procedure. Quick summary after repairing both units: buy cables that comes with a new lcd attached! I had that combo for the cluster, but not for the mid. It makes the job so much easier

My apologies for bumping an old thread. I have searched this forum and Google for "Fixels" but cannot find the contact information for the U.S. vendor recommended in this thread. I'd like to get mine fixed and appreciate the reference.

Thanks,
