I ran into the same issue with the Carrera cluster I swapped into my car:

It's amazing how similar the damaged areas appear.

The cluster you found on eBay will work in your car according to the guidance on Pelican. Personally, I like having the Carrera cluster, but they may be harder to find and more expensive.

If you need instructions for coding the replacement cluster with the information from your present cluster, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send them to you in a Word document.

Also, you can swap your gauge faces over to the circuit board on the new cluster if you have a preference for your existing one.

Good luck.
