E36 Instrument cluser

[labiel]

I have E36 instr cluster but i'm unable to determine from which car it is.

Part no. 62.11-8 375 050
Index 85
HW 10,6
Jahr 94


I would like to use it after R6 swap in my ti, but if it's from R4 it's uselles.

Anyone can help?

[tiFreak]

pelican and realoem don't have any matches for that p/n I googled it and found a site called autotekelectronics.com that is the only site that matches it and they say it's a 4-cyl. cluster

[labiel]

I did same thing, but i't a little bit different on photo so thats why I'm confused. It's 160MPH with MPG, 1,8L had 160MPH cluster?

[tiFreak]

as far as I know the 4-cyl. clusters didn't have an MPG guage, are you talking about the picture or your actual guage?

[labiel]

I'm talking about my actual gauge, thats why i have doubts about this autotek (there is also mpg gauge on their photo but there is little difference on back of the cluster. I bought it becouse I was sure that MPG gauge had only 6cyl E36, but this autotek and part no. :/. Since I wan't to instal Indiglo I dont' want to waste time, I have to be 100% sure that it's R6 instr cluster.

Photo of my cluster attached.

I'm honestly not sure, sorry, I guess you'll need someone else to help you

[labiel]

Ok, thanks! So anyone have some knowlege about e36 clusters ? Indiglo is on it's way

[Mallard]

very weird

the part doesn´t exist and there isnt any sucsession number if this one was outdated?

im a bit stumped fella

[labiel]

No other part number :/ Every numbers i've found are on photos. So propably i'll end up testing it - lot's of work :/ I'll wait till monday, every help will be appreciated !

[labiel]

Ok, tested it's R6 everything works fine. temeprature guge is little above center is it normal? How could i test all bulbs? Erase + pos1 test should light all of them?

[Mallard]

remove the cover glass and push the temp needle down a touch, then the needle should read center at regular running temp.

and yes a cluster check, hold reset button and position 1
