I have a W210 2002mod and have to deliver my central instrument panel for
repair due to no indicating outside temperature and several missing pixel in
clock and gear indication. This takes about a week, but does anyone know if
I can run the car without damageing anything in this period without
instrument cluster installed ????

I don't think you can and I think it is illegal to do so. How much was the
repair cost?

Thank you for answering.
I can deal with the lagality, but do I damage anything in the car ?
The repair will cost about 2-300 $ I have been told. This is in Europe.

I think there is a switch in the cluster area that prevent engine from
starting without cluster. I am not sure if the computers would function too
without the display either... Have you tried starting up the car?

If there is a mechanical oil pressure meter, be sure to plug the line of
. I assume it's not there but if there is it's a rather unpleasant surprise.

I don't think anything will become damaged from trying to start it with
the cluster disconnected. it might just not start due to some safety
feature.

Just try it and see.

Dammage ? unlikley...

Will it run?, thats questionable, and the only way to find out is to try it.
