Saxo LED dials guide (56K NO NO)

[Chris_Mac]

so what can be done then?

[TU-Tuning]

Iv just learned to live with my dodgy tachometer for now. Eventually ill prob fit some new ones and get citroen to change the mielage which will prob cost a shit load

[Lozza_vtr]

Just replace the clocks with other set. Then get a mileage correction guy to come out and change the mileage to its original reading.

[Chris_Mac]

ill have another look tomorrow, i have a mate who is breaking his vts, so i can get the dials handy enough.

wish i hadnt started trying to change LEDs

[TU-Tuning]

Same here mate. Some people seem to be fine, some people have loads of issues

[Lozza_vtr]

That is what has put me off doing this mod, just in case anything goes wrong. But there is always crazyleds who i could contact that would do the work for me, he sold loads of stuff on vvoc that i use to be a member of.

is the milage stored somewhere in the car, or on the actual board?

just add me to your msn and ill talk tomorrow as im off to bed soon mate

[Chris_Mac]

right i got a set from a VTS today, petrol gauge is in the middle, whereas my original one was on the right hand side

plugged it in, works perfectly so far! temp rises, as does the petrol gauge, nothing through the oil temp, but im not gonna start playing with that

roll on MOT tomorrow

My dials have been nothing but trouble since i did this, i have a second hand dial set but i dont wanna fit em incase the mileage goes mental.


Some say it adds the mileages, some say it uses the one on the newly fitted board, some say it just uses the higher of the two. I havent got the balls to find out which is true tbh

on mk2's you can change the dials as it holds the millage on the clock circuit baord, so if you ahve a mk2 vts with 60k on the clock and you buy some mk2 vts clocks with 45k on them when u fit them in it will display the 45k millage, the reason that we say it adds them together is because some manufacturers cars do do that but on saxos it dont and also we dont want it to be public knowedge as people will start clocking there cars more

[TU-Tuning]

Ah i see, how much does it cost to get the mileage corrected Steve? My spare dial set has 35k on it and the cars on 69k so theyll need changin

best person to get to do it is someone out the back of auto trader they can do it for £30, if u get citroen to do it they will charge u £75 and most dealerships wont even do it unless you have bought the new clocks brand new from them, and just so you know new clocks are £392 from citroen

[Chris_Mac]

im getting them fixed next week, £40 to get the digital milage correction done

i had 90k on the car, it now says 40708 so its definately getting fixed

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Finished doing this today. Looks the business.

Awesome guide Steve.

[Noddy]

you can't do this mod on the mk1 speedos as they have bulbs behind not LED's - that is stated in the thread somewhere!
