I have just bought a 1989 E34 525i mechanically great...but the instrument cluster shows intermittent faults, i understand fro other sites, that this is down to 5 capacitors inside the cluster, although i know how to change them, i would prefer to know the capacitor values and buy them before i disassemble the cluster.

Does anyone know what the capacitors ratings are?

Also, any tips on where i can get a driver side door panel in light grey??

Thanks

Mike

You can first try the most economical and tried and true plan.
-Take the pcb out and re-solder all the joints/connections...you will be surprised.

good luck

Wooo Hoooo!!

Changed them all, but only one was distorted and a little black. And it now works like a dream

FYI

3 x 220 microfarad 50v 105 degree
2 x 22 microfarad 50v 105 degree

Capacitors....

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for feeding back.

Many folks ask about a problem, fix it via info on this site, and never report back.
