Redundant POS VDO clock died....
 

So...what's out there to replace it with? I have a wrist watch and a clock in my radio.....I have oil temp and pressure....besides putting a big red idjut light there for oil...what else can go in the hole?

You can put a fresh air vent in there, gives a great blast of air on a hot day.

It's a cabriolet.....I gets ALL the fresh air I needs.....

1. Water temp gage? Oops never mind, it's a air blower.
2. How about a battery 12V voltage thingy. That is useful.

I replaced my redundant POS VDO clock with a CHT gauge.

Just plug it! I added a little Pelican sticker for good measure...

Mikey, fix the clock, there are tech articles on doing it.

just remove all the workings from the clock, cut a plain ol black face and insert it in the bezel...now you have a clock delete.

is there a link to that tech article? my clock is dead too.

How fast were you going when this picture was taken...120mph?

The tech articles are for the early (electrically wound mechanical) clocks I think. Mikey's is probably the modern quartz type.

You can probably find a replacement used from the usual suspects. Years ago I got one at Pomona for $20...

Chuck,
There must be some kind of mistake. Must be the glare...I cleaned up the pic a little and it is defenitely glare. ;)

Voltmeter.

The clock in my '86 is still going strong. I wonder how many 1980's non-VDO car clocks are still going these days?
Now the digital one in my 944, that's a POS.

You had a working clock??? I'm jealous!

Delete clock for weight savings. Should equal at least two horsepower!

Mine in my 87 keeps great time, better than the rolex.......

Leave it alone as a reminder that
"Time Stands Still when I am driving my 911"

thats what I did with my POS clock...
