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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need to change the instrument cluster on my 996 (mph to kph speedo). I have looked in the technical articles, tried a further search of the forum and made a request of the register secretary without success. Any advice (step by step instructions would be marvellous) and any pitfalls would be most appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Hi David I assume you mean your post of Jan 1 st see below. https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=964561#msg1046664 As advised in my reply it’s fairly easy and straightforward to remove the pod itself, just attached by two screws as per the You-tube link i attached to your previous thread. Do you just want to replace the Speedo face with a KPH one? if so again lots of info on Rennlist.com or there are companies out there who will do it for you. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/460106-gauge-face-replacement.html The digital readout is then changed to KPH via turning the time knob to the left for a few seconds. Good luck Andy.
