if i swap the gauge cluster for a new one, will it retain the correct mileage that's on the car now?

i have installed the blue tint on my current cluster and i was thinking about getting a normal one just to have around in case i want to go back to the normal one for a while. i don't wanna have to keep removing the tinted film every time.

thanks

No

The mileage is retained in the gauge cluster itself.

 

you have to get some sort of odometer report sheet to record the old odometer reading and have it for records dont you?

 

does anybody have the directions for removing the gauge cluster??? i had it saved as a link from Qube's Audio control but it doesnt work anymore :-(

 

haha only if your a dealer

 

You are legally obligated to disclose the correct vehicle milage when it's sold, Everyone is not just dealers.

Otherwise it's odometer fraud.

 

To take out the gauge cluster:

1. Remove the two black caps and screws from the top of the gauge bezel. You should notice it, its the two things right in front of the gauge cluster on the top.

2. Drop the steering wheel. First, just under the back of the steering wheel is the little cover thing, that also goes around the ignition hole. Take out the three screws in there and remove the cover.

3. Under the dash, if you look up there are two mounting points for the steering column. One is where you just took off the cover, the other is on top of the plastic kick panel. Loosen the nuts (12mm I believe) on both of them to drop the steering wheel.

3. Wrestle the bezel out of there. Be sure the disconnect the wiring harnesses for the audio, cruise and climate controls, defrost if you have.

4. Once the bezel is gone, the gauge cluster is screwed in place by 4 small screws, if i remember correctly.

 

^^^thanks a lot..i did it b4 myself..but it has been a while and i want to make sure everything is right...nothing worse than taking stuff apart and missing a step...Qube actually had an instructional with pix on how to do it...does anybody have this still??

 

I have it somewhere... im me on aim and I'll find it for you.

 

I was gonna ask th same sort of question...Can the new cluster be flashed with another odometer reading? I know VW's can be done that way...
