W124 Digital/LCD Clock Setting

[isobars]

Hi All,

I can't find any info on this, perhaps this type of clock appears in 126's, but still found nothing?

Anyway, I can't set the time. Pushing and twisting will set it to 12.00 and then it works, but I can't make it move back/forward to the current time.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Paul

Try Pulling and twisting.

Hi Dec,

Just tried, it just turns though 360, but I think what you say is correct and it's broken.

Trying to get the dash off at the moment, but the speedo cable is so tight I'll need to disconnect.

Cheers,

Paul

If it were me, I would just set it at either noon or midnight and probably get 6 months out of it before it needs to be adjusted again.

Yes,

I thought that, but I have a feeling it also influences the reiserechner/on board computer so I may have to dig deeper.

Thanks.

I've pulled the black knob off the plastic pin.

The knob turns, but the pin doesn't.

I seem to remember some years ago, (on a 140?), just pulling the pin and the clock starts to roll forward the time, going more quickly after a couple of seconds.
