Er, my N/A cluster has a speedo that goes to 160, the UKDM turbo's are the same. Although yes, your voltage gauge looks wonk.

160 is the last number, but actually since the km/h goes to 280 and you have a line past 160, I would say it goes to 170mph. :)

You said the voltmeter isn't working, right HellsLegion?

If it's a turbo cluster, you've got to run a short jumper wire over to the ground, I believe it was, of the NA volt gauge.

Mind detailing that a lil more Doward? Its not just the voltmeter its the whole cluster unfortunately. But if the voltmeter isnt ooked up im sure the rest would not function properly... Hmmm

89+ cluster with a pre 89 volt meter, 5 speed TEMS cluster. hard to tell weather it was turbo or not.

so if i were to guess id say....89+ turbo 5 speed cluster with a pre 89 voltmeter gauge and needle.

what car is this going into?

Just to finalize this...

Its a 1990 guage cluster. With a 1987 style voltmeter. Yall are smart =]

I believe th circuitry for a 1990 guage cluster will not comply with my 1987 circuitry so Im gonna swap the guages into an 87 housing... Should be fun and involve lots of swearing!
