VDO Hours Counter Repair

 

If you have a VDO hours counter not displaying the hours there is a repair procedure to change the display.

 

It is not for the faint hearted!

 

I bought this from RS Components. Cost about £20.

Hours Run Meter Curtis 701PR001O-1248D2060A, LCD, 6 digits , 12 → 48 V dc, 20 → 60 V ac

• RS Stock No. 185-6107

• Brand Curtis

• Mfr. Part No. 701PR001O-1248D2060A

 

The following links will help with fitting

The meter calibration for the alternator speed will not work after modification

 

I have done this but do not ask me questions about technique.

It seems very reliable, 3 years.

I have seen many examples of tachometers with an hours meter that is faulty, both on private and hire boats. The problem does not seem to be confined to a single brand.
