Instrument cluster gear for BMW 3 Series E21 5 Series E12 VDO speedometer cockpit repair
Excellent workmanship quality
Description: If the odometer/trip meter has failed on your vehicle, the gear shown is usually the cause. In order to avoid double assembly work, we recommend replacing the roller gear at the same time. This is the second most common source of error and often fails a short time later. You can find corresponding repair sets in our shop.
A notice: Unfortunately, the association between engine type/gearbox type/year of manufacture/model/country type and gear type is so complex that only counting the teeth can provide 100% certainty. We strongly recommend disassembling the speedometer before purchasing and letting us know the number of teeth as a comment when purchasing. This is how you prevent an exchange. Without this note, you will receive the most commonly installed gear for this type of vehicle.
Service: We have over 100 gear variants in our range and can supply the right gears if required!
+ all alternative sizes always in stock + fast exchange service in the event of a size discrepancy
For the repair, we will send you illustrated repair instructions (German/English) by email.
Quality: Our gears are elaborately and faithfully manufactured using injection molding and are not self-made 3D printed products. We work with a manufacturer that specializes in the production of plastic gears and is the global market leader with its repair solutions. The so-called involute tooth geometry is retained; this is the only way to ensure low-friction sliding of the tooth flanks between the pairs of gears. The material we use is the thermoplastic Celron with graphite additives. These ensure low friction and wear-free operation.
If you disassemble the speedometer in advance, please note that the shaft of the speedometer needle is very sensitive. Grip the center of the speedometer needle and turn it counterclockwise. Pull lightly. Friction is everything that keeps the needle on the shaft.
