#1: I've changed my speedometer (warning light now on) Author: pug_206_uk, Location: Stoke on trentPosted: Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:25 pm ---- I purchased some clocks from ebay, i disconnected the battery and then removed old speedometer and installed new set now I have engine management light illuminated, I removed new set and plugged old set back in and there is no illuminated engine management light on so the problem is with the new set.
Is this normal when changing the speedometers over or was it a previous fault with the vehicle they were removed from (meaning I will have to plug it into a computer to take it out) ?
thanks in advance

(Should come on with second click of key and go off after a few seconds of the engine running). Could be that the fault was always there but just not showing.
The data is stored in the ECU and should have nothing to do with the clocks.

It should come on & stay on at the pre start check & then go out once the engine has started.

Either way I would get the fault codes read because it is telling you something isn't quite right.
