#1: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:17 am ---- My temerature needle is doing my head in it keeps getting stuck. Does the needle control when the fan kicks in? Also if I was to replace the speedo can I get the mileage changed to what the car is?
#2: Re: broken temperature needle Author: CAZ4708, Location: Stoke on TrentPosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 11:34 am ---- It depends on the year it was made.
#3: Re: broken temperature needle Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 11:43 am ---- I think the BSI takes whatever milage is higher of the two dials and displays that.

This only applies to multiplexed 206's.
If you change the clocks in a preplexed 206, the mileage stays in the speedo memory.
Have you tried changing the needle?

#6: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 12:43 pm ---- Its a w reg 2000 lx 1.4 3 door lol need any more info? Ive tried to fiddle the needle to get it working again but its just getting stuck. My mileage is digital and I have heard you can get it adjusted? If the needle is just an indicator of the temp and doesnt control the fan I can just leave it you see?
#7: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:47 pm ---- What plex would mine be? Its got two lots of cables which go into the back of the speedo.
#8: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 3:27 am ---- Any ideas then? Does it really matter if the temp needle does not work?

If you drive it around with the temp needle not working your engine could overheat without you knowing about it until it's too late.
#11: Re: broken temperature needle Author: Dodgernator, Location: Stoke On TrentPosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 9:51 am ---- You could change the speedo but you'll need one with a mileage close to your own and one with two plugs on the reverse.
I had a similar problem 12 months ago with mine. (floppy needles as it's known as)
#12: Re: broken temperature needle Author: Nick_C, Location: BristolPosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 10:13 am ---- Fan is linked to sensor on rad so will still come on. Sure it's not the sensor that playing up on the engine?

#13: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 3:29 pm ---- Nah it's the needle when I get the front Perspex off and press around the needle it moves slightly but before it became totally stuck it did go to about 95 ish and the fan kicked in. Not really fussed if the needles don't kick the fan in. If its the sensor that does that then I can deal with it until I find he right mileage speedo. Cars never over heated on me comes close after a Long journey but fan always kicks in, so hopefully nothing to worry about then?
#14: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 3:32 pm ---- Also I was told by a French car garage that if I found a speedo which has covered less miles it would set to the current mileage on my old speedo, is this correct? So or example mine is at 110000 and the new one is at 80000 will it stay with 11000 miles when plugged in?.

#16: Re: broken temperature needle Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 4:54 pm ---- No that's only on multiplexed. On a pre plexed you need to get the mileage changed unfortunately.
Or just make a note of the old mileage and put up with having a different one.
#17: Re: broken temperature needle Author: CAZ4708, Location: Stoke on TrentPosted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 5:12 pm ---- Dodgernator was right. You need a pre plexed one with a similar mileage. If there's a large difference in mileage when you fit your replacement you'll have to write the current mileage on the back of the new speedo to apply with the law.
#18: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Thu Aug 09, 2012 10:29 am ---- Well just brought another cluster off eBay they say it has 100k and something on it. Just going to have to deal with it i guess as the petrol gauge has stopped working too :). How should I go about this? I know how to remove it etc so shouldi just write on the back the original mileage and date along with the mileage from the new cluster? So that I can work out the correct mileage if I was to sell it?
#19: Re: broken temperature needle Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2012 10:32 am ---- Its an old 206 & there worth sod all on the 2nd hand market now, no one will really give a stuff what the mileage is.
You can swop something over from the old cluster to the replacement to keep the correct mileage on the non plexed 206's BUT i've never done one & no idea what bit you need to swop.

At the bottom lee mentions the part needed to keep your original mileage. If that helps.
#21: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Thu Aug 09, 2012 5:27 pm ---- Ya see telling me that I can swop something over to keep the original mileage has intreeged me now lol. This is how I get into these pickles lol by trying to fix them myself When I get my "new/second hand unit" I'll have a look at it see what's what
#22: Re: broken temperature needle Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Fri Aug 10, 2012 12:42 am ---- Another question will the new speedo show the correct amount of fuel in my car?
