Instrument cluster swap question

Hi all, does anyone know if it's OK to put a 1.9d (05) instrument cluster on a 2.0 hdi (06).

I'm aware that the mileage will correct to the highest but looking at the sticker on the doner cluster I can see its programmed for maintenance at 10000. That in itself is fine as I have my own schedule anyway but it got me thinking is there anything else of note? Does the fuel gauge act differently or is there any other programming inside that may cause unwanted/unexpected behaviour etc

These vans seem reasonably simple electrically compared to the consumer vehicles of the same age so I was tempted to just plug in but knowing PSA I thought I'd double check for any surprises

Re: Instrument cluster swap question

I've swapped mine with zero consequence, assuming it's like for like

I did have issues putting a Synergie one in my Dispatch - I think half the gauges worked (not the revs sadly)

But like for like should be fine

Re: Instrument cluster swap question

Thanks Ken,

I think I read (with disappointment) a post of your's a few weeks back regarding the synergie attempt as I'd specifically searched for that possibility

I'll give it a go after I've ironed a few gremlins out, I bought the 1.9d for scrap value (belt failure) to take bits off it so going to take the door mechanisms/brackets/sliders etc off as they're smoother than mine and don't look half as rough

Garage did my timing belt and I heard a bit of a bearing sound so had to ease the tensioner slightly myself (cheers guys?)

Then after reassembly noticed my brand new alternator died - looks like the brush box has gone already after 40 miles (diodes live in there too I'm guessing). Not sure if the one on the doner van would be the same but I'll have a look tomorrow when I can so I've got something for when I return this one

Love the van but it seems to crave my attention!
