    WTB: 325e cluster coding plug/Mileage Chip

    Hey guys, hopefully you can help me...

    I have a 1986 325e, and I am looking for a "coding plug/Mileage Chip" for a VDO cluster (maybe a Motometer one works too?). Its a little white plug that plugs into the bottom of the cluster, just under the tach, mileage and temp gauge. (Picture attached)

    The previous owner must of had someone work on the cluster because they put the guts of an older plug-less model Motometer, in the face of a newer VDO. So now it has the old gauges and si board w/the nicad batteries and of course, everything on it is broken. I felt cheated and didn't want to repair an older model cluster. So I picked one up at the yard from a 89 325i. It works perfectly but I need the right plug. I will trade the "i" coding plug I have for an "e" plug if anyone wants, otherwise I have paypal...

    Also I am not sure what the part number is on this. Since the cluster was bastardized, it no longer had the plug.

    Currently my tach, mileage and fuel level gauges aren't working. Speedo finally does!! Just need this piece and I have looked everywhere for it.

    Thanks

          So you need an E coding plug for your I cluster? And it's VDO? I got one.
