Styling Changing a Punto's Spedo Dash

[Ziggy122]

yeh im confused as to why the wiring for a temp gauge and rev counter is there when there are no dials to show this...unless the dials are changed

I know what you mean, but if you think about it
u do still have a temperature guage, its just a light, i guess once the voltage across that perticular light is over a certain amount it will come on

Instead of a light now, it'd be a servo moving

The rev counter i cant explain tho

I imagine Fiat built all the cars with the same wiring to save money and then put different dials in them to differentiate the different trim levels.

Is it only Fiat that can proxy align?

Yeah you need Fiat Examiner to do it.

I have the same dials... no bloody rev counter! Apparently (so ive heard) you can just do a simple swap and it should work as both dials (with or without rev counter) have the same connection on them. Im gonna pop to the scrappy this weekend to try and find some dials, so if you havent managed to try it by then, i will let you know how i get on

Also, i wish people would please stop using the answer 'should have bought a sporting'. If we had the money to, we prob would have! lol

lol yup ive got one too and i got the temperature sender too so i got an analogue temp gauge too!! thats on a mk1 thug, doesnt have the LCD display, the mk2 has an LCD mileometer doesnt it?

 

[T14086]

the mk2 has an LCD mileometer doesnt it?

yep

 

[Mdeko]

the mk2 has an LCD mileometer doesnt it?

yep

and the mk2b's have a bigger one

 

[Ziggy122]

mk2b dont fit mk2 do they?

Also is it possible to wire up the power terminals just too see the millage on it? or will it just spazz out due not actually been in a car...

There are soo many on Ebay atm, however no1 knows there millage on them, so getting one would be quiet hard....

its strange that Fiat sell Puntos without temp gauges- how are you supposed to know when your car is overheating, especially because Puntos are notorious for head gasket problems!

The basic models have a temp warning light, but it's too late when it comes on. :bang:

Ziggy

they're the same size as the mk2 consoles, aslong as the connections are the same it should work, you'll also need the surround as the buttons are a different shape

 

[Doovydoo]

mb2b clocks dont work with mk2's

 

[Rockbottom]

Yeah, I imagine the trip computer is completely different for a start...

i guess you've tried it then.
i was told a hgt console wouldn't work in my jtd, but they did

 

[Doovydoo]

no, but i have heard from someone that did.

a console from a different model mk2 is a bit different from a mk2b, as they are re-designed clocks with a different computer inside

 

[Ziggy122]

haven't got a new dash yet - ebay isn't been good

But i had to book my driving test and my other hobby taking a large Chunk outta money for it

It's going to have to be a Gift to myself for when i've passed my test

[dreamertae]

all mk2 speedo's will fit all mk2's
just make sure the new one has lower mileage than yours then get it aligned at fiat dealer about £60

here's my two; one from jtd other from hgt

Out of those piccys, which is the JTD and which the HGT?

Few days ago, I've switched the simple dials on my 1.9D with one from JTD. It's really easy and everything works great, except that I had to go to the local car "hacker" to fix the mileage, and stop display from flashing.
