I need a new speedometer for my 1989 300ce. The Mercedes dealer says that the 1988 will not fit nor will a 1990-up. Is this true? My car is a Canadian model and the part number on the front of the speedo is 124 542 58 67. I called a local salvage yard and they said that the only one different is that one from a 4 MATIC, because it has what they call a "TV" meaning the small screen. I'm asking, because it will be cheaper for me to buy a used cluster than buying a new speedo from the dealer who wants $746.35 Canadian funds. I just want to know which years will fit.

Thank You in Advance

I tried to install colored face guages and ruined my speedometer. Here is the oem faceplate.

Not sure. But this one would make for a nice replacement if you can find one

Where can I get one like that?

How badly did you mess up the old one? Short of driving over it, repair is probably cheaper and allows the mileage to stay a virgin.

It needs to be recalibrated and I'm not sure what else. The worst part was just pulling out the cluster. It was so hard to pull out. I just don't want to deal with this again in the future. It is cheaper for me to buy a used cluster than a repair, believe it or not, that's why I was thinking about this option. I agree about the mileage issue, but most clusters that I have found have around the same mileage as mine anyway.

Thanks

Can't argue with that logic.
