Has anyone changed or had their instrument cluster (speedo) changed on their b6 S4 or A4?
Mine is faulty (S4) and i was wondering how easy it is to change.
Cheers

I've been told that if it gets repaired theres a chance it could fail again pretty quickly.hopefully one of the sparky's will pip up soon, but I think a repair is easier than a replace - quite a bit of extra coding that needs doing if it's a new cluster...
Can you remember what had to be removed to get it out?yeah mate i had mine changed about a year ago no probs changing it .was a bit of a pain codeing it to the car though.quite a pricey part if i remember right about £480depending whether you have the colour dis or not.
So if you're handy with the old vag com it shouldn't be to bad.

Just sent him a pm.Send a pm to shark_90. I am sure he appears on here sometimes or he is definitely on tyresmoke.net. He will be able to advise and help you out.

I have been in touch with him and he has been really helpful, the problem i have is finding a used cluster. Can't find any cars in scrap yards close to me.
I've found a company in Dorset (autotek) who can repair or sell 2nd hand unit's but have been warned off them.

Well it looks like i have had the bargain of the century. Managed to bag me a new cluster for a USA s4 (only difference is it says unleaded fuel only in the gauge and there is no 90o in the temp gauge) for £36 delivered!!!! Ebay rules for once.
Anyway, popped up to see Ben aka shark_90 in mansfield today and he fixed the car within 30 mins. He replaced the cluster and reprogrammed it and all works good.
I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs anything doing to the electrics on thier car.
Thanks again Ben for a superb job :thumbsup:

There are others out there. I didn't want to pay too much for a USA cluster just in case it didn't work but anything under £250 is a good buy now i think.
You can buy my old cluster off me if you want and try and get it repaired, that way your motor won't be off the road??
chas - yours a petrol / diesel?
