Out of interest has anyone priced a highline dash from the dealers?

I think JPC bought his for around £500.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I got quoted about £250 from a dealer for the dash but that particular dealer wanted £220 to fit it!

Another VW Dealer quoted £110 for fitting/coding so going by that logic, £360 total... Im tempted! Saves hunting for second hand clocks!

I was quoted something around £250+vat by a dealer in Northern Ireland (P&R)  for 1K6 920 973X Z02 a month ago.

Ben told me he hasn't got a US cluster to work yet...

Do you know what, thinking about all this, I just don't think im gonna risk it with a second hand one, im just gonna bite the bullet and order a brand new one from the dealer and ask them to fit it.

It's only money! Early Xmas present to myself! Will take 6 months to pay off all this stuff i've done on the car lately lol but its worth it!

I know what you mean. At least you have some come back with the dealer but its still an expensive upgrade. Let me know how you get on, am considering something similar myself.

One thing I have heard is that there is a surcharge on the clock unless you return the old unit, (think its off the Hazydays site) and a midline for a highline doesnt work, so might be worth double checking you arent going to get a nasty suprise  :wink:

Hazzydayz say that the old unit is returned to VW, so I presume there is no surcharge to their quote. However my dealer said that a £100 surcharge would be applied if going from midline to highline if they did it, as there was no exchange between the two types, only like for like. So hazzydayz has the win so far over the dealer

Norbreak21a(Andrew) had his cluster swapped to the highline by HazzyDayz and has nothing but high regards for them, But I also know Joe had his clocks and keys coded when he was in abit of a rush to get his car on the road and Ben sorted it asap.

Hi mate,

I can get you a highline ending 972 as It didn't work in mine... Im not sure the ins and outs, but im pretty sure I couldn't read the immobiliser code from it, that said my friend was who was the guy doing it using Vag Commander. He's no expert so it could have been something he did.

That said, im happy to sell it if your after one, not up for ripping anyone off, just want to get back what I paid for it only.

It's flawless but one of the plastic screwhole bits (there are 2 in total) which you have the 2 screws that hold them in to the dash, one of the the bottom part of plastic has a small bit broken off (but i've tried this and it makes no difference as the screw still screws the plastic down. So just mentioning it for the hell of it really! (Thats at the bottom of it, nothing to do with the speedo/clocks themself just the screw-down part!)

Trying to explain it is useless, but imagine a circle screwhole, with a bit missing which makes it a semi-circle, but the screw covers ALL of it (ie still holds it down).

...Make sense? Didnt think so... lol! :)
