yep.. depending on models, the tachos are gonna be different..
if you got a CXi one, you wouldn't even have a tacho..

but it's just a cosmetic thing, doesn't affect performance whatsoever

Changing the dash wont affect when your car redlines.
The dash is purely for aesthetics!
If your car redlines at 8krpm, then it'll always redline there, no matter wat number the tacho display goes to.

Yeh i know this, but i'm selling the car and would like to change the cluster to an original one since the petrol gague doesnt work at all.

If you're after the original cluster, then why are u asking about what other ones are compatible?
Jst get a replacement stock one.
