    Clock or time adjustment repair

    The tabs on the instrument cluster for time adjustment broke off awhile back, I guess the plastic gets fragile after all the years. After some research I found a part on ebay. See links to youtube and Ebay.

    I finally got it installed and the clock works great, I can highly recommend it. The guy is in Hungary so it took a few weeks to get the part.

    If you are here, might your cluster has already broken at the clock adjustion part. Put back the black adjuster needle and assemble the cluster. Pull off the top, rubber black black adjuster needle. Remove the black adjuster needle.

    Just ordered one, finally a solid fix. I've been using my bluebus to input the time but it gets annoying to have to peel back the carpet every time.

      Damn, dude's making bank with those. That's such a tiny 3D printed piece, must use barely any filament at all lol

        I have an extra one if anyone is in need. I am in Texas so shipping should be a bit faster.

            Just had this exact thing done from the same seller and video. Works nicely now. You can also look for new dash buttons stalk pins if yours is broke. Got mine on ebay for cheap.

              I always tell E46/E85/E86 guys to install it with a USB cable attached so it's less of a PITA

                I should probably just do that next time I'm in there. Still loving it BTW, can't say enough good things about bluebus

                    nice find! I broke mine not too long ago and was wondering if there was another way to fix this besides going backwards on the time adjustment hahaha.

                    looks like I'll order an extra or two in case anyone here needs one too.
