Can anyone tell me if a speedometer from a 1986 will work in a 1990. I know that the 1990 has the service reset light that the earlier one doesn't have.

    Robert Haire is right. The entire cluster as well as the speedo itself were redesigned in 1989 models.

    Speedometers are electric from 1986, btw. There are three designs - 1986-88, 1989-91 and 1992-93 - which unfortunately look pretty similar but can't be exchanged. Use one out of the right group and check the Kxxxx number stamped on the face - there are different calibrations for alternative tire setups. 1992-93 speedos can also be sorted out by the way higher K number (four times the older ones, caused by a new sender setup for ABS equipped cars).

      I've seen some people stating that the older 1986-1988 version can be used in the later 1989-1991 version but you lose the service reset light feature. Does this sound right?

        Sorry, can't answer that one since the service light feature was never introduced in Sweden. Both clusters and speedo's are different art numbers, though.
