Hi there, anyone got a temp & fuel cluster for a 4th gen?

Mine has went dimmer than a blonde in a maths test

Ive got a few 4th gen temp/fuel clusters
there are different ones depending on what options it has
best thing to do is take the old one out and there will be a paper label with the part number on it - that way you can be guaranteed its the right part ;)

Sorry for the 'obvious question', but have you checked it's not just the dimmer switch that's turned down low (my 4g has a dimmer switch on it for the instrument panel). What about replacing bulbs ?

Early model 4th gens (91-93) did not come with a dimmer control
the dimmer control was on facelift (94-96) models which also have the el speedo&revs dials ;)

Not quite as simple as that... My ukdm (pre-face) has a dimmer from build, so it's also possibly market dependent.

Hmmmm :think:
This raises a thought, my 95 JDM BB4 (facelift) has dimmer control in the centre armrest just under the hatch and my 94 AUDM BB2 (facelift also) has the dimmer up to the right of the steering wheel along with the sunroof switch..
The one in the BB4 looks OEM to be fair... Which one is correct?

Sorry to thread jack :lol: I do actually have a fuel and temp gauge from a preface BB1 for sale but I'm in Australia so may not be convenient :lol:

Was nearly going to ask that after trying the headlights on today in daylight on preface jdm Lude 2 it was very hard to see the temp/fuel gauges which i am observing as she makes her way through her first few trips,oh well.

Both my pre-facelift ludes had dimmers in the switch bank behind the handbrake. Both were UKDM models though.
