Anyone Removed The Cluster On Nm35

[garetb16]

hey guys as it states.

my fuel gauge is shite balls

i want to pull it apart and see if i can have a play.

anyone removed/dismantled the cluster who can send me on the right track.

after removing the stereo it definitely pays to ask first!!!!

much more likely to be the sender in the tank than the dash.

almost every car uses a sender that changes resistance based on the level of fuel. c34 certainly does and mine was rubbish (just changed it), all good now

+1. gauge is a bit of a prick to pull.

however since you asked:

remove lower dash - 10mm bolt

remove column shround - 6x philips

drop column down to lowest level.

remove ENTIRE cluster head - 4x10mm bolts(under side) and 3 harnesses.

split clulster from housing - 4 x philips screws.

that should get you to the point of splitting the thing. be VERY careful splitting it as yo WILL FK a guage VERY easily.

thanks Chris.

i think it is actually the gauge

its like it needs to have the needle pulled off rotated 1/4 of a tank and put back on

at the moment: when it is full it shows 3/4 full so when on empty it has another 1/4 of a tank to go until empty.

but the light doesnt come on until empty as required so at the moment i drive until it comes on.

the sender would control both the light and the needle you would presume so considering the light is accurate and the needle isnt im hoping if i fill the car, (needle at 3/4 then pull it off rotate it to full and stick it back on it should work.

what you think?
