As a possible alternative, anyone have a useless gauge cluster so that I can dissect and try to remove the adjusting mechanism for transplant into my cluster?

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.

Is there any trick method to adjust the clock time not using the ****?
Maybe through the radio?
My mechanic broke off the drive mechanism for the **** and there seems to be no way to fix it other than replacing the whole instrument cluster.

Thanks, Paul
If you have PCM you can find the settings somewhere. I think it's nav-settings or something like that. One of the screen's lets you change the clock, date and time zone. I'll have a look tomorrow..
I've seen the ***** for sale on a website as well. Just the two *****. Search on all the known parts websites and you'll find them eventually. Think they were 9$ or something like that. Good luck
Check post #10 here for a replacement made by someone in Canada. Hope he's still taking orders...

I ordered from him a few months ago, he still has them. Took a while to ship though. The stalks are also more rubbery than oem. Probably good, as they wont break as easily.
In the meantime, i took the cluster apart (very easy) and just put a small slot in the end of the nub from where the stalk broke off. Then i just used a small screwdriver to adjust the clock.
Hope this helps.
Thats probably not the part that broke. There is a stalk that comes up through the cluster that the **** (#2) goes on to. Porsche doesnt sell the stalk seperately, just the *****.
To all,
No PCM
I cant seem to remember to pull the fuse at noon, but that certainly will be the easiest fix. Will do that ASAP. Mostly concerned about resale in the future.
It is the plastic stem that the **** mounts to that broke. Having a Homer Simpson moment, I tried to drill and glue the **** on but now I cant depress the ****-Dooh!
Will look into the Canadian replica.
Thanks Guys!!
