Fitting instructions with a job time of approx 20 mins or less. Please read through

all instructions first before starting.

Tools you will need :-

Mercedes Hook  pullers (picture below available from ebay or Mercedes dealer)

Small flat screw driver

Super glue (not always needed but useful original glue peels off with old dial)

optional small needle pliers to change any broken light bulbs

(whilst dash is out might as well)

Important:As we need to twist the needles of their motor shaft to fit the dials >:

in winter months it is best to run the car for at least half an hour with

the heater on full blast  so that the needles and instrument cluster is warm, this

will prevent damage to the  motors in the speedo cluster when removing

needles as they can get quite tight when the plastic is cold.

Alternatively: when you have removed the speedo cluster you can use a

hair dryer to gently warm the unit once you have the glass cover off it ,

 this will soften the plastic and making pulling off easier)

Above:  Hook tool to remove the speedo unit.

Alternatively, you can remove the cluster by  pushing it forward , by first

removing the lower panel above the pedals and using your hand to push

the cluster forward – but this can be lengthy.

Photos below show hook locations : -

Hook the tools on the side of the cluster and gently pull towards you until

loose. Then undo power connector plugs, there are two.

Once the unit is loose- Splitting open cluster(see photo with orange screw driver below):

unclip the front portion with the glass cover , you will see black plastic clips

on the top side and bottom , this is best done using a small flat screw driver

and just work your way around the unit slowly .

With the glass cover off it looks like this below:-

Removing needles :-

Once the cover is off you must remove the needles by gently twisting them

anti clockwise and lifting them up at the same time. Best done using your

fingers to grip the centre of the needle. Do not do a full 360 rotation of the

 needles. Try to lift them with the smallest rotation possible.

Once all the needles are off -  SLOWLY  peel off the old speedo dials

(see photos below ) and replace with the new white/cream or black  ones.

Align them suitably with the glass screens.  The old glue is normally sticky

enough to hold the new dials in place. If not then use selotape,

SUPER GLUE OR uhu, small amounts only in the corners.

NEXT: Refitting needles, cover and colouring the needles(optional ) :

Needle colouring (optional): You can then refit the needles –or better

take a red chisel tipped marker pen and run over the orange needle to

give it a red look. This is best done several times(to make the red darker)

giving yourself two minute intervals to allow the coating to dry completely.

Needle re fitting: When refitting the needles place them about 1cm about

the resting white line then twist them anti clock wise to the position where

they should rest (fuel gauge must be twisted clock wise to reach white line

as it faces other direction) .

Once in the car the speedo needle(only) will pull itself

down by about 1mm so you may want to leave this a bit higher and see where

the needles pulls itself and adjust as necessary. 

Glass Cover replacement: - Make sure there is no dust or dirt on the dials then

 Push the cover on so that it clicks back in position

Corner plastic pieces :                     see photos below

The corner pieces on the left and right (triangle looking shaded plastics) are

fitted last once you have pushed the glass cover back on the cluster and are

simply pushed in until they clip themselves in, you will see small holes that

act as place markers that hold it in.

Optional extras:

IF you need to replace bulbs you will need x2 504 glass push in types bulbs 3w

size 286 bulbs with bulb holders
