Hello brains trust
Long time lurker, first time poster Recently had my coil pack turn up its toes and die. My dash cluster had weird characters showing up on the digital display. Have replaced with brand new coil pack and digital display works properly again. However, my temperature gauge and RPM display are now exhibiting weird behaviour. The temperature gauge needle starts as normal and then very quickly goes all the way around beyond hot (it's not overheating), and the RPM needle heads all the way around beyond the readout and touches the raised part of the cluster. I have tried a known good dash with significantly higher km's and both the temperature, and RPM's work as normal (RPM's are probably a tad low at idle but that may just be the older dash cluster). Penny for your thoughts... https://www.dropbox.com/s/tnbm31p7ry...94843.mp4?dl=0 Can I reset the dash? Or can I send it away to get fixed? TIA Matthew |

Hi Matthew Have you thought about getting your car battery load tested or if that is okay getting the regulator in the alternator tested. I cant think of anything else other than to suggest you probably will need to see an auto electrician. Lets us know how you go. Cheers, Brent

Did you reconnect the thingy (I can't for the life of me think of the name of it as I type this) back on the side of the coil when you put the new coil back on?
From memory, it should connect up under the rear bolt that holds the coil on. |

Hi PG2. Yes I did reconnect the thingy (is it the noise suppressor) back when installing the coil pack. Just saying.... Whoever decided that it was a good place to stick a coil pack, is a moron. You need to be half contortionist to install it.
