[vpbt1ss]

if there is someone that has tried this be good to hear from you also if i can find a v8 cluster will have a v6 low km one for sale

As far as I know they were not a straight swap from V8 and V6.
Once you have enought posts (10) you will be able to post a WTB thread in the for sale/wanted thread.

I don't know for certain, but I have heard that there is a switch on the back of the cluster to change the tacho from 6 to 8 cylinder operation, and the fuel gauge to change from the little (65 ltr tank) to the big one (~80ltrs).

What clusters have these switches, i have a level 2 Vn cluster, and a level 2 VR police cluster and neither have switches on them

[stocky]

im pretty sure there is also a few resistors that need to be changed on the circuit board for the tacho

and sodways, its only the level 3 that has this switch

I had the cluster in my Calais out a few times and the only switch was for swaping between the 63 and 80lt tanks. This is only so the trip computer can work out the distance to empty, etc.

A level 3 cluster from v8 to v6 vary in regards to the tacho signal. The tacho will not work, but all other instruments will, just make sure to check connectors 1,2 & 3 on the dash and that the pins match. Connector 4 just needs to be tapped in if you don't have one allready (non-calais) and plug in the Trip computer contol switche on the dash and away you go.
PS; The switch on the back is purely for tank size and nothing else, although their is also a more accurate setting in the digital dash setup settings.
