Well what can I say you did again. After watching this video am going to be tickering with an old cluster at home, just to find out what makes it thick. It's always fun to watch you work. Thanks once more.
Brilliant Louis, after the first two tests to see that the the cluster is getting a speed signal and also to see that the needle wouldn't move with the Autel test most of us would have just called the cluster, but not you, you went to the point of not only removing and stripping the cluster u then decided to strip the tiny fiddly motor, excellent stuff, u must have the midas touch because with my sausage fingers I would definitely broke it. Thanks Louis great video. Thank you so much. Kind regards Jay
Impressed . Really. That was a fine repair you performed and like you said . It can hold for a day but it might as well work till the car is going to the scrapyard . Well done
Nice job mate! I had no idea that the "magic black tape fix" was so common. Some people really go the extra mile... In the wrong direction! Cheers and keep up the awesome work.
Absolutely... the extra mile in the wrong direction....😊 Quite common to be honest... have much more coming...🤦♂️ Thank you for watching and for your comment!

I would hazard a guess you had it right at the beginning. Gearbox (cog) issue. I've seen well over a hundred of these type of dashboards with similar problems. All they need is opening and putting back together correctly. The burned stuff you saw is quite normal. Most have this discolouration. Either flux or more likely something there to stop the solder cracking over time. The brownish residue always looks cracked and dodgy. Your resistance measurements are correct for a good set of coils (brushless motor type of an idea). I might have had a couple with genuine faulty motors, the rest were the same scenario as yours. Dash been stripped to fiddle mileage or block out a warning light. The motors go faulty because the idiots are rough and push the needles back on without securing the spindle at the other side. God knows how considering how tight these motors are to get to bits but the stop position on the big cog gets jammed. All it needs is a finger on the other side holding the spindle while pushing the needle back on and there's no problem. Good vid, you got it working again. I wouldn't have thought it would fail again. Forgot to say, I first figured the stop position issue on the first one of these I ever stripped down. I was the original idiot 🧐 (Jesus, another essay 😬)
Fantastic job :) Nowadays usually things are replaced by another ones, producing tones of rubbish, old school is to fix anything and you can do it proving that on every video :) Great job :)
Hi. Ive been playing around with those bipolar stepper motors from an old audi a3. Ive build some kind of tester for those. It is based on 1 IC an arduino with 10 lines ofcode and an potentiometer ill be glad to send you schematics or even the circuit itself. You just plug in the suspected motor in and the needle would precisely follow connected potentiometers movement. Really cheap and quite simple solution. Just let me know if you would be interested i learned lots from you and it would be nice to pay you back. Great work!
I have a bit of experience with arduinos, but never thought about that... not that I would use it very often to be fair... but will appreciate your offer... Send it to lmsvvavr@sapo.pt Put a subject on it... otherwise I will struggle to find the email between all the spam...😋 Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs Hi. Unfortuneatly i couldn't send you the e-mail (i got autoresponse that it's outdated) anyway i've made you a video to show that tester thing. It could be useful as car companies often use Bipolar steppers and not all of them could be actuated over OBD so you can test idlers, throttles etc. and my video for you ua-cam.com/video/PN7JhzYGalY/v-deo.html. in case you want to drive unipolar steppers use IC like uln2003a.
I would have just broken the motor to open it and replace it. Seems the needle gets stuck at 70 km /h after the repair. Thank you for sharing your passion
What do you mean? The needle sweeps from 0 to the other end, then from 0 to half, which is about 70, yes... but that's normal under testing... if that is what you are referring to... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Very useful thanks lad, i replaced the entire unit, on my car, only to put everything black how it was because it through a key code fault on it, and the car wouldn't start, unfortunately because the new unit was way better, but now I'm gonna give it a go to see if with your help i can fix it, obrigado ;)

I also have a Golf 5 instrument who needs fixing. The display gets dimm when its hot outside. I have a used cluster which i will use for takings parts from. But my question is: How do you get the needles installed the right places? Or does the cluster recalibrate itself?
I was never asked to look at the ESP problem... Informed the owner that there was a problem, and that was it... The issue I was asked to look at, was the speedometer... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Hello sir i have have bought a 2007 golf mk5 where it shows kilometers it show error if you press 0.0 it immediatly show the kilometers it does it everytime you put it in contact i have no idea of the issue, if you could help me thanks👍
It's surprising what can be fixed. I am the same if I can fix it without parts I give it a go. In real life a replacement cluster with programming would be a good money spinner for a shop so most places will not attempt to fix things.
Great video! It encouraged me to look at an instrument panel I have replaced already but maybe it could still be fixed. The leds that illuminate the digits for the speed and rev don't light up, but the ones from the needles and the other warning lights do. What I should look at first, in your opinion?
Great repair as always. But I think that needles should be calibrated after putting in a car. As you can see in the movie, after repair is done the engine speed is showing above 1.000rpm which shoud be around 800-850rpm as it was before repair. Also when you have done needle test with autel the speedometer should go from 0 to 140mph (no over as it goes in your video) and stop at 60mph. But maybe I am wrong. Movie is very insteresting, great job.
Because when I started it at the end, the car was cold... cold start always holds the revs at bit higher... the revs drop after the cold start is finished... Anyway, as far as you place the needles in the exact same position as they were before, will be fine... this was not my first time disassembling a cluster...😉 Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Do you put a note on the invoice stating that the ESP light hasn't been covered up by you? Just to cover yourself...? An excellent video... Great diagnostics 👍
Nice one. Time consuming though? Just a thought: if it fails or goes dicky again you could swap the temp guage with the speedo motor? Temp guage probably gets less use so is less worn? Done similar things like this before.
Hi! Problem didn’t was with coils...when someone put there silicon,he didn’t remove needles correctly and that toothed snail moved away...you weren't careful at that when you dismounted ;) gl
🤔 Not really sure if I understand... The dial was not working before... was working afterwards... If was my fault, how do you explain the cluster dial not working even before I open the cluster? Have you watched the entire video? Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs I watched! Cluster dial was defective yes, but problem was with conical gear ,it was moved from position.That piece was moved from position because someone removed needle on that clocks side and is common problem in cluster’s from Vw golf 5/touran/Passat b6 etc.... You did good job but you solved when you put everything together in position:)
Wow! Nice electronic skills. Didn't know an instrument cluster is so complicated. Well done! BTW is the speaker for the chime in the cluster or elsewhere?
Great job, properly diagnosed and a good repair. I probably would have replaced that stepper motor but you got it done same day and at no cost. I don't like VW cars, everything electrical breaks in them, door locks, gauges, fuel pumps, relays, poor grounds etc etc etc.......... They are horribly unreliable and poorly made buckets of German air pollution, they are vile smelling engine oil burning emission rigging environment killing scrap.

Hi Already have videos with that sort of problem... ua-cam.com/video/MvKSdjvLkoM/v-deo.html Obviously it does not mean that tis is always the problem, but gives you an idea of where to look... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@ghost37666 hi, happy new year. thanks for your reply. I have another question please. When I turn my ignition on , some computer programming noise coming from under the driving side . May be it come from under the gas paddle or from radio . What that could be ? I been to couple of garage they said it normal.
I would never cover over a warning light. Modern snowflake drivers depend on ESP to stay on the road. Furthermore some modern cars (probably not a Golf) have an unstable chassis so they depend on the ESP. if that car was in a crash someone could be in trouble. Not that I blame you as you just returned it how it was. I would do the same.
why u didnt took off the tapes?. i mean, you can give this video as proof that the fault was there at the time that car went into your hand. i honestly felt much better to see the fault light all the time until i got it fixed rather than not knowing there's hidden fault (assuming the previous owner done that bodge job)
Hi I informed the owner, but was not requested to touch it... so... I didn't!... I agree, I would happily have a look at it, to make sure would be proper fixed... but...🤷♂️ Thank you for watching and for your comment!
It was ABS light, right? There must have been some people some could not fix the real ABS system failure (bad bearing, wiring, ABS sensor or such)....so they put tape on the light to get the car through MOT.
Ah... the brake pressure sensor... Depending on how they fail, they are repairable, but require special tools to remove them... As they are kinda pushed in in the modulator...
can any one tell me about the latest ecm,s that update through oem portals and what this means for tunners and eeprom editing will it still be possible to flash at home or are we locked out
Simple explanation... You will struggle to access updated softwares... As they are no longer offline... But you still able to flash at home... Thank you for watching!
My speedometer is not working properly and gives a total wrong reading! It clocks all the way around when i would be only doing slow speeds. I have brought it to a mechanic 3 times and they cant seem to fix it. Can someone please give me advice on what might the problem be?
mine is not working but is not the motor, when i put power + and _ it moves, when back to the car doesnt. its not the power source of the car, cause i put another dash and it works

May be it come from under the gas paddle or from radio . What that could be ? I been to couple of garage they said it normal.
I would never cover over a warning light. Modern snowflake drivers depend on ESP to stay on the road. Furthermore some modern cars (probably not a Golf)
have an unstable chassis so they depend on the ESP. if that car was in a crash someone could be in trouble.
Not that I blame you as you just returned it how it was. I would do the same.
Yes... I know, I do advise of the issue, then is no longer up to me...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I am curious how much you charge for a job like this
Brilliant !
Thanks!
👍👍👍
did you leave the tape off the ESP light so the car fails its mot . least then the car can be repaired to make it safe
he didnt took off the tape sadly. but he might have reason to leave it alone
Correct... I was not asked to touch it... I informed the owner, which did not requested to do anything... so...🤷♂️
👍👍👍
Great video as always good stuff can I ask what u use to de solder plz😀
Hi links in the video description...
Not sure if they are all active... but will give you an idea...😉
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Good job
Thank you!
why u didnt took off the tapes?. i mean, you can give this video as proof that the fault was there at the time that car went into your hand. i honestly felt much better to see the fault light all the time until i got it fixed rather than not knowing there's hidden fault (assuming the previous owner done that bodge job)
Hi
I informed the owner, but was not requested to touch it... so... I didn't!...
I agree, I would happily have a look at it, to make sure would be proper fixed... but...🤷♂️
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
well, seems like the owner doesnt rly care
Pretty much...
Just like if the car never came with ESP... lol
Only ABS...
Can this problem give P0500 fault code? Pls tell me
Possibly...

Fascinating
😊
Thanks!
very nice
Thanks!

nice repair, dangerous to drive a car with a faulty ESP because you will have limited control of the car when driving on slippery or icy roads.
True... same as drive a car without esp in first place... lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
are the brake sensors fixable?
or must be replace the unit?
Which sensor are you referring to?
It was ABS light, right? There must have been some people some could not fix the real ABS system failure (bad bearing, wiring, ABS sensor or such)....so they put tape on the light to get the car through MOT.
The brake sensors in the esp light!..
@@LMAutoRepairs in the end of video..when you are diagnosed the abs. and you talk about brake sensors.
the unit with damaged sensor is repairable?
Ah... the brake pressure sensor...
Depending on how they fail, they are repairable, but require special tools to remove them... As they are kinda pushed in in the modulator...
can any one tell me about the latest ecm,s that update through oem portals and what this means for tunners and eeprom editing will it still be possible to flash at home or are we locked out
Simple explanation...
You will struggle to access updated softwares... As they are no longer offline...
But you still able to flash at home...
Thank you for watching!
My speedometer is not working properly and gives a total wrong reading! It clocks all the way around when i would be only doing slow speeds. I have brought it to a mechanic 3 times and they cant seem to fix it. Can someone please give me advice on what might the problem be?
You asking what?
mine is not working but is not the motor, when i put power + and _ it moves, when back to the car doesnt. its not the power source of the car, cause i put another dash and it works
How did you tested the replacement/used dash?
Thank you for watching!
