| Pflashinaz May 3rd, 2003, 12:03 PM Anyone have any idea how to remove this little creature from inside the tach? http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid61/p9f28581201ba2f469ea83fddedb446cb/fc39ced9.jpg fishie <///>< May 3rd, 2003, 01:04 PM what i'm wondering is how did it get in there? :confused: hurrens May 3rd, 2003, 05:50 PM I had similar bugs in my tach & speedo, I have sat. nav., I took the car to my local dealer. He vaccummed them out in 5 minutes. He undid a couple of screws on the back of each unit, eased the unit out of the casing, separated the front from the unit and vaccummed the bugs away. Then reassembled in reverse. I hope this helps. Pflashinaz May 3rd, 2003, 07:47 PM Thanks, I will give that a try. I saw the screws behind the tach, just wasn't sure of the proper dismantling of the unit. MiniMan7 May 3rd, 2003, 08:08 PM Ya, how the hell did that get in there? :confused: Pflashinaz May 3rd, 2003, 08:16 PM Don't really know. Actually truth be told this is 'Sugar'. Her owner brought it over for me to look at last evening. I said I would post a pic on the message board. Knew there would be someone who knew what to do. BruceK May 3rd, 2003, 10:33 PM If you spin the engine past about 12,000 rpm the needle will be able to give the bug a little ferris wheel ride! :D (sorry, I don't know how to clean it out.) MiniMan7 May 4th, 2003, 12:58 AM Is the bug dead? Or does it still fly around time to time? sniece May 4th, 2003, 01:29 AM I saw a similar creature in the headlights of one of the guys in our Mini club. He had two small white spiders in behind the lens. Very odd.
