Function and location
The instrument cluster shows the speed as well as the total and trip mileage, driven mechanically via the speedometer cable from the transmission output. The same housing also holds the gauge for fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure, as well as the analog clock – backlit and adjustable via the instrument dimmer.
Installed in the dashboard directly in front of the driver, inserted into the instrument carrier from the front and connected via the speedometer cable at the transmission output and plug contacts on the back.

Instruments with the number 123 542 34 01 were also installed for this engine – this version is a different variant and not directly interchangeable.
⚠ Important: compare the part number before buying
⚠ The distance pulse rate is decisive. The factory sticker with the distance pulse rate is no longer legible on this unit; it depends on the rear axle ratio and tires, not on the engine size. Please compare the part number of your old instrument with the one stated above before buying.
⚠ The final number is decisive. Several speedometer versions were installed for this engine: this instrument carries the number 123 542 09 57, the version 123 542 34 01 is a different, not directly interchangeable variant. Please compare the number of your old instrument directly.
⚠ The scale must match. This instrument has 200 km/h – other scales carry a different part number and are not directly interchangeable.
