  • Dash clock calibration

    Has anyone else had the hour hand on their dashboard clock get out of calibration?

    I know how to change the time...not talking about that. What I mean: for example, if I set the minutes at the top of the hour, the hour hand is not on the selected hour - it's usually about a quarter of an hour "off" in terms of where it's pointing.

    How can I get the hour hand calibrated or re-zeroed if you will? Hope this makes sense, I can add a picture later if need be.

    Yes mine has that 'feature' as well. I thought mine must have been a special order option, but if you have it as well maybe it was standard fitment. If you find a way to fix it let me know!

      When I adjust the time, I have to turn the minute hand twice around to change one hour. Do you have that too?

        I have checked the Factory specifications of Siemens VDO and there is no possibility to calibrate the clock.

          Sounds like I have to just live with it - which is not the end of the world.

          Now that you mention it, yes I do think mine behaves this way as well.

          Thanks for the definitive answer (and the PM). I will learn to consider it a "feature" because replacing it sounds like eventually it ends up failing again.
