Mercedes W124, W126 etc, Outside Temp Display NEW LCD, Let's install it!

[@tyberzann9713]

ahhh finally an video of that... my 84 has the original in it. but the 90 frommy colleague needs a new display. thank you!

[@compu85]

Thanks for the tip! I should probably pick one of these up, my display is still OK for now.

[@pellepop100]

Good job! I would like to see how you reattach all connectors in the back of the cluster as it seems quite difficult to do so if the cables aren’t long enough. Thanks

[@dannoi]

Yep, once it starts it will go black ... mine did just that, gotta get around to doing this job one of these days ) Thanks for the guide ! yet again

[@anakinskywalker4113]

Hopefully you don’t have the issue with the biodegradable wiring loom. I am doing a customers 1996 w202 & it is a complete rats nest. What was meant to be a fairly easy job since I’m a mechanic by day & know the car. I thought I could tackle the non running A/C. Boy was I wrong. I’m now in the process of replacing the entire engine wiring loom. As that was the cause of the A/C issues.

[@gcgj1540]

No this issue started in 93/1994 only.

Hallo

[@CaptainInsano-go6vo]

I love the way you say Red 124. And MMWA you have a badass Australian accent brother. Hope you and your legendary Red 124(W124 300E-24V are doing fantastic good sir

You do a good job mate Beautiful your Mercanal as Fuk and it is cool ,they are just gorgeous ,yep old mercs are Magfuknnificent ,true!

[@danniecassidy4324]

Also. The three connections on the cluster beside the speedo cable. What are they for. Someone was messing with mine before me. And had the green wires soldered to the pins.

[@tony66au]

Echt? I see the Dutchness has rubbed off on you MM :-) All this talk of worn out leather knobbage... Nice work on the LCD mate, Yup the font looks slightly out but im also seeing that the contrast on the display is way better. I did one on an 850 Volvo Cluster a while ago and its a VDO unit, the Cap was dried as well and way out of spec but it also did other functions as part of the trip computer so I de soldered and re soldered all the pins and cables. I got my LCD from a Swedish mob so the lead on Marcus is awesome, his factory sticker selection in particular. Nice work!

How did you get the ATM to have this blue light? I got mine renewed and it doesn't have this blue light. At night I can't see nothing!

[@bbqpls2569]

how do you clean the plastic window for the gauges?

[@shaazy]

this I'd like to know

[@Joris1998]

My outside temp display isn't working, do you know where the outside temp sensor is so I can check if it is faulty?

[@rfbu]

Did you have to undo the speedo cable at the tranny before pulling the cluster and disconnecting the speedo cable behind the cluster ? Certainly don't want to stretch my cable when I attempt that.

[@MMWA-DAVE]

nah, but you may have to take the dash underside coverings off to release the firewall mounted holding bracket on the cable if its never been out before. Mines been in and out many times on both cars so has plenty room behind

@@MMWA-DAVE Hey love your channel and content and I have a W202 1996 C280 sport 4 speed 727.424 Transmission with 195K miles. The next year in 1997-1998 they had a 5 speed transmission and the final 2 years of the W202 generation have P R N D -/+ transmissions

[@danniecassidy4324]

I have followed this video. And ordered my display. But after fitting. It’s illuminated. But it has no text on it. Wonder where I went wrong. Thanks for the video. Wouldn’t have attempted the job without.

[@MMWA-DAVE]

i wonder if you ordered the correct version - there are 2 electrically different version LCD’s based in which version temp display you have. In any case i would check with the seller.

[@visionlink2012]

339km?

[@cheezy1969]

339k Wow! Is this original Klm's? And Aussie delivered or import matey?

[@MMWA-DAVE]

339k since the total engine rebuild and refurb of driveline and everything else mechanical. I still have original cluster to add these k’s onto in unlikely event i ever sell.

@@MMWA-DAVE I'm in Queensland at the mo so no I haven't contacted them. I will be heading over your way in the near distant future so may it be on the cards or not I will still be on the hunt for others. Hope to get to know other Mercedes enthusiast once we move over. Cheers for the reply

[@derekbyrne3160]

How did you park the car there in the first place and get out ??? 🤣

[@MMWA-DAVE]

I have been known to crawl around inside cars and exit opposite side doors 😅
