    Default VX dash question

    Hi guys,
    Im going to need to get a new dash cluster in my Vx, Question being: is it true that the km's on the odo cant be changed after its done 100,000K? im hoping to get a second hand one off ebay rather then have to buy onebrand new.

    the ODO cant be changed after 100kms, not 100,000 i believe. This lets dealers let cars get test driven then reset.

    I could be wrong but ive read it from multiple sources. Its definately not 100,000 thought.

    Exactly right.....HOWEVER....I had a VT with 265000km and I bought a dash off ebay that had 164000km. Could have gone two ways, kept the old one and took a photo of the new one when it went it, or say nothing and sell it to an unsuspecting dealer... whoops did I say that out loud? haha. Just don't get caught if you do it that way!

    clusters from the VT's that have the white back housing can b changed at any stage, its the clusters that have the black housing that u cant once its gone over 100kms as said above.

    The VX clusters do have some extra features over the VT's using the trip computer that would b about it. (also depends on higher model clusters 2)

    In looks they dont look that much different but do have some slight differences thats u cant really tell unless pulled appart, the needles, needle mechs, the difuser panels and the dial facias r the only differences between the 2.

    how about a white back housing from a cluster that was in a statesman? If so i'd probably put the numbers back up, mines 50000 off, so not all that bad.
