Hi everyone. I'll be brief and explain my problem. I have a 99 1.1 and since I bought it the tacho was dead. Last week, the speedo went to heaven too. I have peeled the forum on this matter and tried to repair it. All good after a couple of hours but then I accidentally ripped the ribbon to the display (odo). After a couple of tries I managed to make a good connection but then something just happened. Upon testing, I guess my fingers just made contact with the board and bam, white smoke! I've lost my lighting (cluster lights). Circuit seems fried on the board. Everything else works fine. Headlights too seem to be picky, works on low beam, but on full, they go out completely. Any ideas? Other than changing the unit completely?

Change the unit completely, then start looking at fuses.

Yeah, seems the only solution. Sad though, since I managed to repair the speedo/tacho. Odo display too but then lost the lighting. Seems you repair stuff, others break down! The french and their shoddy electronics! Haha! Would getting a broken phase 1 cluster (obviously a broken speedo/tacho since there are a lot around) and exchange the motors work? What must I look for? I know I will lose my mileage since its a phase 1. Thanks!

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

will it fit on the 1.1, does it have the same 2 plugs? One more thing, I use kms instead of miles, if I swap the dials in front, will it affect my speedo readings? I guess it should be good but better be safe, then we'll work out a deal. Thanks.

Small update, the headlight probably was a blown fuse.
