Hi, do any of you guys know if an instrument cluster (speedometer) from a 2007 C230 will fit a 2006 C230? Thanks in advance!

Will it fit? Yes. Will it work, that really depends.

should, but if an instrument cluster has more than a certain number of miles, it can't be adjusted to match the rest of the car and it won't work.

If I am not mistaken it is 1k miles.

I bought a 2006 cluster, same year as my car. The dealer confirmed that they can't adjust the the number of km driven in the the used cluster, but everything else should work.

He took a look at my cluster, when he saw that the temperature, speed, and rpm needles were not working (they move to the left, not calibrated), but the digital screen is, he said that the cluster is not the problem. He unplugled the battery, checked some fuses, but it didn't fix it. He said it was the first time he sees something like that. He also said that is possible that the replace cluster will do the same thing, but he doesn't know because he never delt with such a problem.

It will cost 170 euros to replace the damaged one with the used one (he said there's a couple of things they need to program) and 120 euros to hook up the car to the computer and find out what's wrong with the current one. By the way, driving back home the windows wouldn't automatically go up with one touch, went back to normal after I turned the car off and restarted it. Never had this problem before, I'm thinking it was front the mechanic removing the fuses.

He said he was going to call me and let me know a good time to bring the car in but he never called...

Not sure what to do.
