Our work
What happens to your instrument
Not a blanket swap, but a repair component by component – for fuel gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauge in one instrument.

Incoming inspection and disassembly
As soon as your instrument arrives, we inspect it and find out what is wrong. Then it is fully disassembled: dial, needles, the three gauge movements and the circuit board are laid out individually on the bench.

Every component measured
Resistors, capacitors and all other electronic components are measured individually. That way we find not just the obvious fault, but also components that have already drifted out of tolerance.

Defective components replaced
Whatever is no longer in good condition gets replaced. Electrolytic capacitors are the most common victims: after more than 30 years they have dried out or leaked. In the photo, an old capacitor on the left, the new replacement part on the right.

Reassembled and tested under power
After reassembly we connect the instrument and test it under power: fuel gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauge. Only when everything is right does your instrument go back to you, insured.
Everything included for 60 €
Disassembly, measuring, new capacitors and components as needed, reassembly and testing – whatever the defect. Only return shipping is added.

FAQ
FAQ
What does the fuel gauge, oil pressure & temperature gauge repair cost?
60 € fixed price including VAT – whatever the defect. Insured return shipping is added (within Germany 7,99 €). Optional extras: express processing (+20 €) and 5-year warranty (+10 €).
How long does the repair take?
Usually 3–5 business days from receipt of your instrument. With express processing it is ready within 1 business day of receipt. Postal transit time is added.
Does the fixed price apply to every defect?
Yes. Whatever the defect, the repair always costs the fixed price. Only if we find breakage damage – for example a broken housing or dial – will we contact you before continuing work.
Does that also apply to diesel?
Yes. The same fixed price applies to gasoline and diesel.
Is the fault in the instrument or in the sender?
If several gauges fail or misbehave, the instrument is usually the cause. If only one gauge reads wrong, the sender – fuel level sender, temperature sensor or oil pressure sender – can also be the cause. Feel free to call us beforehand, we will help narrow it down.
Do I have to send in the complete instrument cluster?
No, the removed left instrument is enough. If disassembling the instrument cluster seems too tricky, simply send the complete instrument cluster – packed well padded.
Do you also repair the W123 and W116?
Yes, we repair the gauges for those too. Give us a quick call or write to us – we will tell you everything else.
Do I get my own instrument back?
Yes. You get your original part back – important for the originality of your vehicle.
What do I need to keep in mind when sending it in?
Pack the instrument well padded and enclose a slip with name, address, phone number, order number and model series. Shipping address: KFZ Teile Thot, Widdersdorf 36, 84079 Bruckberg.
