Re: [MBZ] W123 300D combination gauge fix
So, does anyone know whether is it possible to remove and pop in a replacement clock into the gauge without a lot of hassle? Because soldering is required to swap the clock itself, and the 99%+ repair of a dead clock is a trivial soldering job, once you're in a position to swap it you're equally well set up to just repair it. And it's cheaper. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] W123 300D combination gauge fix
Do you know if it is possible to just clean the inner parts of the clock or is it all electronic? My clock just stop when temps go below 10F or so... Hope it needs some cleaning and maybe the proper oil to cure the problem. Any suggestions?

Torque for the motor is transmitted through the aforementioned capacitors that are easy/cheap to replace. Such capacitors get weak with age, and are unable to provide as much torque, so when things get cold the clock can stop. First try replacing the capacitors and then see if you still have a problem. -- Jim
