VDO Tachometer LCD Display repair service
Keef Marine Ltd now offers the VDO Tachometer LCD Repair service by post or onsite !
VDO, over many years have created many versions of the 85mm Tachometer but with the same design style inside,
using very similar technology each time they change the design.
Over time with most VDO Tachometers, The LCD fails due to the tiny connections within the screen breaking, leaving the LCD display completely blank, while the engines are running. Unless you are rigorous with logging your boats usage, over time you will lose track of your engine hours or you may have purchased a boat with no idea, how many hours have been logged, within the tachometer.
The tachometer, stores the engine hours within the display, so many older engines and small yacht engines, rely solely on the tachometer, to save this information because they have not other recording method installed. This can really assist with correct servicing intervals, identifying age and use of the engine its linked to.
Inside every VDO unit is an LCD screen mount, which is mounted in various ways, with either glue or double sided tape.
We import new LCD displays, replace the complete unit to solve the issue of the engine hours missing !
Once the LCD has been replaced, the unit completely rebuilt, bezels and glass cleaned.
The unit is then tested, to make sure the engine hours are showing - this is usually 99% successful.
Very very rarely, the pcb is moisture damaged and cannot be repaired, this has only happened once so far !
