Bought some secondhand white clocks for 60GBP and they are really easy to fit, took 30 minutes start to finish, swapped circuit board inside with my original to keep the mileage correct.

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.

POST 2Original post

Nice :dance: Where did you buy those - from shop or private? I'd like to buy white dials in my 986 as well.

Plenty of them on Ebay :-) Make sure you get the right ones for yours i.e. manual or tiptronic As I say in my post really easy to do, only half hour job

POST 4Original post

Thanks M9G, this is a good and I guess a rather fast project to add on my list for this winther.

POST 5Original post

I’m just about to do the 996 Clock swop so will soon have a set of white dials up for grabs for a 986 if anyone is interested

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 605987

Yo probably have mph dials... I'd need km/h dial faces for manual gear box 986 (2001)...

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 606018

I have a former US car with MPH speedo but the digital read out can be switched to KPH so there is no real problem registering in Canada. Not sure what the Finnish authorities say.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 606038

Similar issue here, the car is US spec and it has been already re-programmed to km/h in digital read out (no issues with authorities). I'd prefer to change the dials to white and same time to km/h and C for temperatures. Looks like these kind dial faces are very hard to find... Any ideas where I could look in to? Design911 in UK sells these TechArt white dial faces, but the price is about 200EUR/USD a set - with that price for only dial faces , I'll rather swap the dials to 996 all together

POST 9Original post

My 03S came stock with the white dial faces so you may want to check with a dismantles or 'wrecker' as we call them here and see what they might have. Good luck!

POST 10Original post

If I hold in the left push button on the clocks I can change the digital readout from mph to kph and vice versa. No need to re program.
