you have the mk2 so any speedo from a mk2 will work fine in your car, as long as you get it proxy aligned.

you cant put a mk2b speedo in a mk2 which is poo!:(

so any speedo from base model (the lowest spec punto mk2 you can get!) up to the almighty hgt!:D

you will need full version of MES and the apporiate cable, but there is a revised VAGCOM lead out that saves the bother of having so many additional cables to access different modules on the car, you can pick it up pretty cheap on ebay:

this is probably the cheapest option, failing that you can take it to FIAT to get it proxy aligned but not sure of their fee for this service, best bet is ringing them and checking this out yourself.

Please Note
You will need to proxy align the new dash - otherwise it will flash
and certain lights may appear on when they shouldnt be for example ABS light from donor car because it had ABS and your dont

The dash will be talking via the canbus system saying FRANK WHERE ARE YOU!
That right - you car calls the ABS unit Frank

A proxy alignment will basically make the dash talk the same language to the car

Next Note
The milage, dont devalue your punto because of the mileage
If you car has 60k on the clock, and donor has 99K, dont fit it
Why? you cant turn back time, and your certainly cant turn back the mileage either

So if you fit a clock set, make sure its around the same milage as yours, or wait till you hit that mileage
for example
your car is 60K, new dash has 62k, 2k aint the world so fit it and loose 2k, or wait till you pass 62k :)

50 EUR one which entiles you to one licence, once purchased, all red parts on MES will then be available to use at your disposal:D

BTW.....

50 EUR = £42.98

so worth the price though, if you intend on keeping your fiat for a while, but hey you could make that back by helping people local to you!:)

I am having to change my dash due to it having u issues. Reading this has got me a bit confused. One person said not to fit a dashboard with higher milage as you can't change, then someone said you can change it with a full version of ecuscan. So which is it? Sorry if I've read it wrong!

Ben.
