    Gauge cluster questions

    OK, I've got a few problems. to start things off- I have a touring coming in from canada. to get it legal here, I need a U.S. speedometer. My old 325e and my 325it both have vdo, so I took the one from my eta.

    My fucking roommate was playing with the speedo while I was gone. When I got home the needle was in a different spot. There is no resistance, and I can move it where I please, still. If I put it at the "0" spot when I install the cluster, will it be ok?



    question 2; so I got the speedo out, but don't understand how I am to roll it back. Someone said to use something to pry those teeth to make it rotate, but they don't appear to want to rotate.



    and third- how do I get the temp gauge off? I took off that little back nut, but can't get the damn thing out

    The bottom edge of the speedometer needle needs to line up just above that white dot.

    Just pull harder on the temp, it will pop off.

    Figure out the odometer, its not hard.

      lol yea i figured out the odometer like a second after i posted

      as for the speed- the needle now hangs with gravity for the most part. is there a way to tighten it up?
