Stepmotor For The Speedometer C5 -02

[Guest Roland]

I want to buy the stepmotor for the speedometer to a Citroen C5 V6 Exclusive 2002. Some of the characters on the stepmotor are readable; ... 0116 5300 and /4/FEV/02 22:25:06. It is also marked with AL. The printed circuit card is marked Magneti Marelli 550411500008 and M3008N42. If you don´t have this stepmotor, please tell me where I can buy it.

 

Regards

As far as i know you have to buy the whole dash. Weve tried for years but had no luck and always end up going to the scrappys

Thank you for respons! I have dismantled the stepper. There was a tiny shaft ⁽¹ - broken. I manufaktured a new shaft and remounted the stepper on the rev meter place. The rev stepper was mounted on the place for the speedometer. Now the speedometer works just fine. But the rev meter does not. It´s value decrease if I raise the revolutions and vice versa. Why this behavior? It is not possible to revolve the core. The rev meter worked just fine before.

 

The tiny broken shaft (dia 1.2 mm) lies just to the right of the small spring in the enclosed picture. The new shaft is the dark thing just to the left of the gear inside the house. Disregard the magnifying glass.

So youve swapped the motors round and the broken one is still broke is that what your saying or have you found a way to fix them. and i dont know how to upload a photo either

I had the same problem last year and managed to sort of fix it. As you say the little plastic post that holds a cog was broken, this is what I did. Took apart the motor, placed the cog over the position where the broken post should be, held it in position and took a small drill in a dremel and drilled a hole in the case. Checked to see if it still lined up and placed a drawing pin in the hole, placed the gear cog over the pin, double checked everything turned ok then glued the drawing pin onto the case with epoxy glue, reassembled when dry. This has lasted for a year now and no problems since. Think the drill size was about 1mm or thereabouts, you can check with the pin you may use.

Its worth a try cause it don't work at the mo.

Yes I swapped the motors round and the broken one seems still to be broke. But I know undoubtedly it is mechanically OK. The little spring is also tightened so it helps the indicator to return to 0 when the engine rev is decreased. The only thing there I can be a little unsure is how much to tighten the spring.

 

All parts are so small so it isn´t easy to reasemble and check that the tiny gearbox was running smoothly enough. I tried to lubricate carefully with 5-56. I swapped the shaft very likele as "retired" described. Insted of a drawing pin I assembled a shaft in reinforced plastic (GRP) on my lathe. Dia 1 mm inside the case and 1.2 mm outside the case, inside the cogwheel. It became very stable.

 

Today I made the car witout voltage fore approx 5 min. After that the gauge reacts in the correct directions but jerky.

Hi!

 

I'm from Sri Lanka and C5's are a very rare breed here (there are 6 1st gen cars, no newer models). My Speedometer stepper is bust and I've switched over the tacho motor. Trying to find a replacement (to get the tacho working) but no luck so far.

A mechanic checked a few broken 406 displays but they didn't have the same kind of motor (he hadn't checked a Jaeger unit, which is what I have)

 

does anyone know any other cars (non-Citroen) that used the same motor? Some Pugs? BMW/VW/MB?

 

Thanks
