kilometer adjustment on dash

[petroleum]

My vn has a series 2 tacho dash installed which reads 332000k's but its only done 242618 k's can i wind it back?

Thanks!

I don't think you are allowed. When I changed my instrument cluster, I pulled the whole speedo assembly out of my original one and put it in the L2 cluster so I had it reading the correct K's.

[Doctor Bob]

yes you can, there is nothing stopping you from putting the CORRECT reading on your odo

Cheers Rob

Go for it, just use a small srewdriver and wind the thing till you get the right reading, no. by no. just don't touch the black surrounds on the gauges coz your fingerprints will mark it and never come off properly.

lol i just hope it doesnt go backwards 1km per rotation of the screwdriver... i would be there for months!

[mouce]

It's possible to do using a very small screwdriver, you can pull the cluster apart and using the screwdriver just slide the little locking spinny things out of the way (you'll see what I mean), and then you'll be able to adjust the numbers to what you want them to be.

awesome... well i know what im doin tommorow

[ssmate]

hmmm hering this just makes me think of people heading to there cars with a box of screwdrivers and starting it wind!!

well my vl calais just clocked over a genuine 100,000kms have service book to prove it... the old couple i bought it off a year ago never drove the thing and they had it from new... for never driving it the interior copped a flogging but... needs a re-trim

[Doctor Bob]

[cracker]

cant u just swap the odo part over to the other one thats what i did when i got my tacho dash so it reads right

[timmy_tam]

anyone ever heard of the odo reading wrong?
bought a cluster that said it had 200 k on it
and when i put it in, it said 300 k

can the ecu play around with the odo?
p.s talking about the l3 ones

[bradcad]

ah thayt's a worry- I didnt think it was possible to wind back digital odometers...

[Doctor Bob]

with the tool you can make them read anything.lol

[Keesh]

a guy that worked at my uncles car yard started to use those "magic" boxes to wind back the odometeres on the cars in the yard.. unfortunately he fled the state and my uncle was there to cop the fine of $26,000 and a further $15,000 per car with a total of 16 cars.. he also lost his traders lisence.. to turn back an odometre without getting fined i think u need a stat dec from the cops stating the original km's so b careful what you say dr bob haha

i repair instruments as part of my job, its a bit different doing it in a caryard to 16 cars, he deserved everything he got. What he was doing was illegal.

Rob

[Keesh]

i dont think u read that properly.. my uncle got charged cause sumone else who worked there did it and fled the state.. thats fair shit ey.. so u rapair instruments? i have a level 3 vn cluster..on the petrol guage, i broke the lil thing that goes down into the guage that the needle attaches to.. can u get the fuel guage circut as a seperate part from somewhere or do i have to track down a new cluster

[Doctor Bob]

i think you can still buy the guage new from Holden
if not theres plenty of lvl3 clusters around that have trip module problems so you should be able to get a fuel guage from somewhere.

so your uncle owned the yard & didnt know the people working there were whizzing odometers?

Rob

[Snotty]

is there an difference between the actual fuel gauge in a Vn and Vr? cause i have a spare one with no needle from a VR if you are interested.

[Keesh]

um if it work im interested.. um i was wanting to get the whole new cluster n e way cause the screens are fcuked on mine.. u cant get them new im a parts interperator at holden and i checked the microcat already.. if anyone knows someone whos selling a level 3 cluster can u pm me please? ive checked my local wreckers and the dont hav n e and i dont hav the time to drive! thanks
