Hey guys, got a N/A VL Calais s2, and i swapped the cluster to a s2 V8 Calais one which has obviously made things all weird. Problems why i swapped was that my temp gauge wasnt working the best and had a bulb out on the backlight. ( old cluster ) Everything worked good on old cluster exept the temp gauge which read nearly to 5th bar, fuel gauge was a little out but the volts and pressure worked good, as well as klm and revs. So anyways put the v8 one in ( new cluster ) and i researched everything before and people said it would work fine but its not, The rev meter is way out, ( alot lower than actual car is reving ) eg, sits on 100klm at 1,400 revs haha Should be 2,000rpm. And the Volts meter qauge doesnt work, the fuel works fine, the temp gauge only goes a little more past to the 1st bar, Oil pressure works fine, and the Kays reader are 10-12 klms out? I tried to turn the klm reader thing back and forth on the back of the dash and didnt do anything. Is the v8 dash faulty and a waste of money ? or can i fix things??

It probably easier to swap the temp gauge into original dash as well as globe even tho it probably calibrated to a v8 sender easier option still would be get a 6 dash
