[Idenity Crisis]

1. have not got dist to empt says 0
2. speedo is sticking is there a easy fix
3. is the speedo alert suppose to work cause mine does doesnt i can set it but it doesnt go
4. please help me everything else works fine for me apart from the top 3
5. does it matter that its in a wagon
and thanks to stocky for the instructions on how to install it

uhm maybe dodgy wires or something dude, punch it that always works

One of the wires would probably be wrong. The only thing for being a wagon is that you have a 68L tank instead of a 63/80L for the sedan.

This can be recalibrated when in the L/100 mode (middle window) Hold the reset button for 3 secs and use + button to add a few litres. Best done when you have just filled up

[Idenity Crisis]

just went over all wiring again and found the tan wire had come loose as i forgot to solder it so i solder it and presto the dis to emt is workin again woo hoo will check everything else out later

Another happy ending....

[stocky]

sounds right. tan wire is for the fuel sender. still having the speedo problem?

[Idenity Crisis]

i now have only two problem left
first speedo still sticking and when i hold down mode and reset to bring up all the digital speedo it comes up with fail 0-000-00

[JD]

does it stick at a certain speed or does it just not move at all?

[Idenity Crisis]

it stick on take of then once you hit about 40 or 50 ks it move

[JD]

speedo cable may be dodgy

[Idenity Crisis]

it might be if there was a speedo cable
these cars aare electronic no speedo cable coming up to the cluster like the old cars

[Idenity Crisis]

still got same problem with digital speedo while i hold down mode and reseat it comes up with fail and theres nothing

it stick on take of then once you hit about 40 or 50 ks it move

May need a bit of lube on the speedo head - take unit out and give it a squrt.

[Idenity Crisis]

got the needle to stop sticking
but still have no digital speedo is there something im missng all the wiring is soldered correctly and everythng work but this

[Sp0tteh]

they have a digital speedo?

or you just mean the trip comp?

[stocky]

id say you have a problem with your speedo wire, possibly even the speed sensor itself. i believe it is the purple wire on connector 2, and this wire gets spliced into the 4th connector. if both connector 2 or 4 are receiving a signal(sounds like that), then im guessing the dash itself is fine, but there is a fault in the wiring, or the speed sensor is not doing its job

Hold the reset & mode buttons in before starting the car

How did you stop the speedo from sticking?

My speedo died 2 days ago on a hot Adelaide day - it wobbled for a bit and then zero. I fig thats OK I have a L3 cluster spare (v6) so just whip the speedo out of that one and do a swap. Only thing is it sticks until you are at 40-50kmh. I take it back out and give it a good squirt - but still sticks

[Idenity Crisis]

while i had the e dash apart pull all guage out and sprayed them with silicone spray then wiped needles down with windex t clean them then the little pins if you have them that the needle rests on clean themas well after this spray again with silicon spray and not more sticking even my rpm was sticking and it doesnt anymore.
but watch out for if you are goin to spray them try not to touch the black parts of the guage as the silicone spry well everything sticks to it a nice clean area is best and a lint fre clothe to clean needles

Yep helped me make a trip to the wreckers $125.00 later v8 VQ dash with all working parts.
Installed the speedo and all fixed.

May just keep the other bits for spares as the trip computer has working lights and good LCD's.

I may try and fix the other speedo with the fluid problem... But I may stuff it as well

do you have a vn calais dash in there already? vq stato dash is a little different in wiring. it does have a few more features over the vn dash though
