Hi all - I am new here. I have a 2009 Mini Coupe.

I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to clean the tachometer 'glass', specifically, there is dust behind the lens that is driving me crazy!! It seems to get in where the buttons are for set/reset.

I am considering removing and disassembling the tach. Is there a procedure to remove, disassemble and replace the unit safely? Thanks in advance for any advice ...

 

I have not seen instructions on exactly how to do what you want to but it should not be very hard.

There are two Torx screws behind the Tach that when removed allow the tach to slide forward and off a track.

I am not sure if the siring harness plugs into the tach or if the tach has a harness that plugs into the steering column but it should be one way or the other.

Then there are three screws ont eh back of the tack that when removed will allow the tach front and back to be separated.

Good luck.

 

Thanks schatzy ...

Do you think this will void my warranty? Also, will there be reprogramming needed? Does the battery need to be disconnected first?

Thanks!!!

 

It's very easy and can be done in a few minutes. No need to disconnect the battery or reprogram, and won't void your warranty.

Look at my InvisiLens installation instructions (with pics): http://www.fes-auto.com/upload/doc/4...tion_Guide.pdf
