#1: French piece of s***... help please! Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:08 pm ---- Gonna keep this short and avoid a rant...
Just got in car and noticed the rev counter is stuck on 0.
Not sure whether it was fine when i pulled off then dropped as i was driving.
All other dials are working fine as far as i can see and car is driving and running fine.
Is this common? any suggestions?

#3: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:12 pm ---- completely stuck on 0 will not move...

#5: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:13 pm ---- Pull the cluster apart and check its on properly/not stuck?

If not the sensor is knackered
#11: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:19 pm ---- I know it's not Peugeot but my mates berlingo did the same (1998). took batt off for 10mins and it was fine after that, just an idea.
#12: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:20 pm ---- Saxo has always done it, diagnoses equipment doesn't work with it so I checked all the fuses, replaced the cluster and it is still doing it.
Haven't got round to trying anything else yet

#23: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:44 pm ---- Is that item acturaly any good Harry? Been looking for one like that, it's just had one for my Astra like that once and it didn't work.
#24: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:48 pm ---- Does the job, the guy I bought it off just threw a load of programs onto the disk so it took a while to get the right one working but it's good now it is.
Reads and clears codes, shows engine temp, revs, throttle position etc
Feel free to borrow mine if you want to test it before you pay out some cash for it.

#27: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:54 pm ---- disconnected for 15 mins and reconnected, still the same... why can't the cluster be taken apart and repaired why does it have to be replaced all together ?
#28: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: HDI90, Location: sunny stokePosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:54 am ---- If you want to buy a just a new rev counter you can, also the speedo motor is the same as the rev counter motor
this happend to me last year so all i did was swap the speedo and rev counter around to find the fault
#29: Re: French piece of s***... help please! Author: rick-gti, Location: welshpool, mid walesPosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:07 am ---- this happened with my gti 138. replaced the cluster and still remained. i tried another cluster to make sure i hadnt got a dud and it worked fine. must be a common problem on these.
is your pug multi plex? mine isnt so cost me a fair bit for the clusters, think multi plex type are cheaper tho.
should find a set for £30 make sure they work
