Ivo Christov | Cluster Capacitor Repair Kit
Does your E23, E24, or E28 instrument cluster show service interval (SI) lights in an illogical combination of green, yellow and red LED’s? Does your tachometer make noise? Coolant gauge inoperative? Speedometer broken or keeps blowing the fuse? Economy gauge not working? If so then you most likely need to replace all of the capacitors in your instrument cluster.
ATTENTION: Your SI board must be in good shape and not heavily corroded due to leaking batteries!
First off you need to determine which cluster board you have. The easiest way is by counting the RED number of LED’s:
3 RED LED’s in the line of 5 green and 1 yellow mean you have an early type 1 cluster, see picture gallery.
1 RED LED in the line of 5 green and 1 yellow means you have a late type 2 cluster, see picture gallery.
Once you know what type of cluster you have simply select your variant below.
NOTE: This requires knowledge of electrical components and the ability to de-solder and solder components on a printed circuit board!

Additional Information
Fitment for E23, E24, and E28. Please check LED arrangement as noted above to ensure early or late style instrument cluster
Early style cluster kit includes 3X capacitors for the service interval circuit board, 2X on the circuit board for the speedometer and 3X for the tachometer circuit board
Late style cluster kit includes 5X capacitors for the service interval circuit board and 2X for the circuit board for the speedometer
