Hi Guys and Girls I'm New here.

I have an A Class A140 W168 and I'm very happy with the car I just have 1 niggle that my speedo, rev counter and fuel gauge don't work.

My question is that if I get a new set of clocks can I just plug them in and away I go or do I need to get them programmed to the ECU atall??

A mechanic I use said they're may be an immobiliser inside the clocks. Not sure if that's right or not so looking for advice. Thanks.

Evening All,

I have an A Class A140 w168.

Unfortunately my speedo,rev counter and fuel gauge has stopped working.

Does anyone know if I get a replacement instrument cluster if its plug and play or does it need to be programmed??

Thanks

what type pf mechanic are you using, anyold mechanic or a mercedes independent garage or a mercedes dealer, wrt to an immobiliser in the cluster, thats a new one to me but I could be mistaken.
