3 Window dash upgrades to a VY Seiries II

The odometer can only be "programmed" by Tech2 if the reading is less than 100 Km.

It is possible to have the odometer reset from higher kilometres by specialist instrument places. They usually require a statutory declaration re the odometer reading on the cluster that is being replaced, and I have seen varying costs, typically between $100 to $200.

Best option is to find a cluster with around the correct odometer reading, or a new one.

Be very careful that you get the correct cluster for your VIN. I am aware of someone who spent an additional $400 on fuel sender unit replacement because he got the wrong cluster.

 

Do you have any pics of your car posted on this site?

Any other mods?

 

Car pics

Not yet mate, no. I am still getting some things put on - will post pics when it is complete (about a month). It will look very similar to my avatar picture when done though. I have posted a few picks of the interior, that can be seen in various threads in the VY section. :thumbsup:

 

Correction

I just re-read my earlier post. Could have written it better.

The Tech2 can only program the odometer if it reads less than 100 Km.

All other functions of the Tech2 can be done at any stage.

 

Heah all - does anyone know if tech2 can change the text on a VY HSV cluster from "Clubsport 0000"? Would be kickin' to have a personal message.

Give these guy's a email.
I thinks it's these that can help.

 

No Need for New BCM

Hi,

You do not need to change the BCM to change to the 3 window cluster.

You will probably need a Tech2 calibration to get everything right. Otherwise it is plug and play.

 

One other thing!!

Make sure you get a VY Series 1 cluster.

The VY S2 has a different fuel sender unit, and your fuel guage would read backwards. Also your DTG (distance to go) will increase instead of reduce - thus useless.

If you get the wrong one, you can swap the fuel sender unit but at a significant cost.

 

$900?!?!

$900!!! WTH? Don't pay that much... I bought a HSV Cluster out of a Clubsport for $500 brand new a couple of months back on eBay. I have seen similar things on eBay since... Check this out for instance - it is from a senator. Sorry, don't know any part numbers...

If you don't like that, ask around on eBay. Look for people that specialise in trading predominantly Holden parts and have a good feedback rating - they should hook you up. :thumbsup:

 

Mate of mine just purchased a VYII HSV three window cluster brand new from dealer for $486.00. Compared to the price for a series 1 cluster was quoted $550.00 brand new from dealer again. Both supply only!! He was informed there are 28 different clusters available for VY's at varying prices. :bang: The dearest even then was only quoted as $600.00 supply only. Reprogramming has been done for $50.00 at auto electrician. Was quoted $75.00 from holden to do the same job!!! :hit:
