Search this forum. I've also added a clear photo of where the screws are located, that you will need to remove. I highly recommend that you remove ALL screws for this. Dont remove just the ones nearer to the instrument panel only, cos the flexing of the dash pad will not be good for it. To remove, pull the dash cover towards you a little, and lift it up.

As for the instrument panel, once you have the dash cover off, reach to remove the 2 cable bracket connections on the top rear part first, then remove the metal clips at the top front part, if you have a turbo gauge, dont forget to remove the turbo vacuum hose at the back of the instruments panel. lastly, before you're free, remove one last cable bracket at the computer trip meter... Once you have the instrument panel in your hands, inpect all bulbs.

All the best.

Not as much as the V, tho.
:)

thanks ampangbear! will search for it. as for the dash removal. . . goodluck to me! :thumbsup:

BOILOVER SOLVED!!! :banana: :banana: Bought a new water reserve cap. :D :banana: :beer:

Hehehe.

The green one or the grey one?

I asked because the pressure release valve on them are different. The green one is higher, i believe. Dont remember the exact number though.

green one. :D new design i guess. water does not boilover anymore :banana:

but still having problems with the lambda light nd speedo.

Ignition switch or ABS module?
What the codes read again? I forgot?

no codes were found wen i used an obd2 scanner. weird huh. nothing wrong with ignition switch. engine starts ok.

If you wiggle on the ignition switch during a slow-move, does the speedo suddenly spring into action?

havnt tried it yet. my wife used the volvo.

if it does move? meaning? :huh:

Ignition switch.
:)

tried to wiggle ther keys in the ignition swithc while turning. speedo did not move.

Did you get the ABS Module Rebuilt ? If your ABS works then its the speedo gear.

Did you get the ABS Module Rebuilt -NOpe


how to rebuild it?

Actually, its supposed to be done when you car is in motion. Slowly. yes, it sounds dangerous, so find a LONG and STRAIGHT stretch to do this. You need to do this when the car is in motion, cos without out motion, the speedo wont budge.

The other alternative is the speedo gear like Ryan said. You can get the gear and the full instructions in a CD prepared by IPD. Go to www.ipdusa.com and purchase it there.

As for the ABS, if your ABS light does not light up, then forget it. If its does, then you need to read the codes first. If indeed the ABS is faulty, then you need to replace the ABS module. You do this either by getting a rebuilt or doing it yourself, or buying off a new one (price is impossible...!)

abs light does not work. :rolleyes:

The ABS bulb Im sure is blowed / burned out and if your abs module is not working the speedo wont work If your wheels lock when you slam the brakes then your ABS Module is not working and you need to send it in to get rebuilt
Heres a good place to send it to.

sometimes speedo works. will try to slam the brakes later to check if abs is working. hope the wheel doesnt lock. new abs is kinda expensive here almost a $1000 :wacko:
