attention to all MB sifus. my e30's mileage didn't work. all other indicators eg. tachometer, speedometer, temp., fuel, service lights etc. are working nicely. how do i overcome this problem?

maybe something wrong with the mechanical parts..u can check it out if u know how to open the meter

tq bro. ada sapa2 tau apa mcm mau buka? hehe

Tha problem with your tiny plastic gear piece (the one that rotate tha number). Do not simply open your meter unless you terrer giler pasang balik.
Last time in Motor Trader got service for this problem especially for BMW meter (E30) mileage rotor. I heard they charge somewhere around 200 to 300 bucks and also some guys mentioned the gear piece can get in Tamiya hobby shop (dunno whether true or not).

Anyone willing to help out here?
cheers!

disamble your meter, and pasang balik.
A fungus or any substance might build up due to our humidity, therefore the connection between your ECU and your dash meter was not correctly. Sometimes when your car in HOT SUN, when you drive OK, then when hujan or aircond blast, the meter not working.

At the back of your meter, ada SCSI (connector macam computer). These port ada banyak jarum halus and each represent power supply and other data sent by the ECU there will be Male & Female (Female will be on your meter).

Kadang2 these jarum (Male) kotor, the best way to clean;

1. Spray a WD40, leave it dry.

2. After dry, kasi bengkok itu jarum sikit
(this will tighten the connector)

3. Spray WD40 again and straight plug in your meter.

4. On engine and give a test drive.

5. If okay then you start mounting the meter back in its place.

Thats It.

Mine not working either, somehow i did that, not working already, together with mileage.

Note:
Mileage meter will work together with speedometer.
Mileage jalan speedometer mesti jalan.
Spedometer jalan mileage tak jalan, plastic gear rosak.

WOKEY

Uih..complicatednyer. Bro, I never go university one lahand don't have the nimble fingers like you also. Nanti aku kasik bukak itu meter, hancur berderai. Nampaknyer kena beli meter half-cut jer lah

But thanks for the tips...maybe sebelum nak tukar, bule bikin eksperimen macam tu....

highway u are right....

its is the plastic gear...

and yes i also heard can buy at the tamiya shop!!!

so weird...

and the last thing, there is one place fixing all these, that i know (besides joe's place) is in OKR

price - rm250...

price of a new 1/2 cut meter

so find out which is more worth it for oneself...
