Yup broken when I got the car! Ordered the new ****, but after closer inspection the shaft coming out from the back. Anyone know of a fix - other than taking the whole cluster out? Replies appreciated. Thx

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yes, indeed! I've had this problem myself. You need to email this Brian guy in Newfoundland at [email removed] - he is the only known seller of the "stem" that you need to replace in the cluster; it is not available as a part from Porsche or anyone else. He sells them for a reasonable price, all things considered - and is a very nice guy to boot. Then, read these two links (they are for the Boxster but are equally applicable to our cars): http://boxsters.addr.com/hacks/cluster.htm http://www.iwantaporsche.net/cluster.htm Look around on Rennlist for the instructions on how to remove the Cluster.

Thx for the information, Brian does still have the part @ 36 plus $7 for shipping if case anyone else had the part break.

Update - ordered the OEM **** from e-bay which came today. Thought about the situation and decided to dremel the outside of the ****, shaving off a bit so it would fit into the cluster housing & drilled out the hole to the size of the broken shaft and low and behold it pushed in nicely and works fine.
