Problem with your Megane? Can't find an answer? Workshop manuals and technical notes are in here.

Can I just change the instrument cluster?

Postby frankl » Thu Mar 28, 2019 2:07 pm

When I bought my car a few weeks ago, it was less than clean inside. Yuck! It's had some hard scrubbing.

Unfortunately the instruments were covered in grime. After an attempt to clean them, the lower LCD is no longer working. I suspect that some liquid got down and the contacts need cleaning.

Question 1:

I know how to remove it and put it on a bench. Is it easy enough to take apart to clean properly (i.e. pop out the LCDs)?

Question 2:

I've noticed you can get complete instrument clusters on eBay for £20. Is that a better option, and can I just swap them out? This seems to be the implication, but seems too good to be true. I realize the odometer will be wrong.

Thanks, Frank.

you can buy a second hand one on ebay and replace it ,it will work,but you can also just use the front LCD part of the ebay one with your existing main cluster board.
