I repaired my dash clock today. Note the above mentionned car details, in mine, there was only 1 capacitor and replaced it with a 35Vdc - 100uF.

There was a problem with the ground pin, the soldering was cracked on the clock board itself. I resoldered, put back in place and soldered the ground pin to the metal casing in the back of the cluster.

Clock works great and keeps its time accurately. I'll see in the long run how it turns out because I wasn't the first one to open it up, I could clearly see that someone else had tempered with a few other soldering points on the little clock board.

So the writeup for a W123 which I used as a reference is correct except for the number of capacitors (only 1 in my car).

Bye,
