I presume you have the lowline cluster then? Do you know what the last 4 digits of your clocks are... Should be like 961 B

[Redgtr]

They are 951 g I believe?

[chrisr763]

At least you have some idea of your unit. Your best bet is to talk to someone in the 'know' I would advise giving Eddie-NL a PM, with your current information. He should be able to guide you in the right direction! 

[skard]

You have lowline, even midline is an upgrade, so 96x clocks.

I'd get highline ones since you're going through the effort. You'll need a new steering control module to get trip functions, from memory and an MFA+ stalk (wiper stalk with rocker button) or multifunction wheel to flick through menu's.

The plus side is you can DIY this very cheaply.

[Redgtr]

But can you recode a second hand dash cluster?

[Redgtr]

I already have cruise control so will I already have the correct steering control module?
Even if I source all these parts I still have nobody to code it all :(

[skard]

If you have cruise your module will be ok, ideally you want 971 or 972 clocks (970 if that's all you find) and diesel versions, and the wiper stalk I mentioned.
973/974 clocks can be used but you can't recode these in the same way, only a few people have the ability to do them.

You can cheaply DIY using this guide http://furmanka.blogspot.co.uk/2008/02/mk5-mfd-plus-hi-line-cluster.html

[RetroRaz]

yes 2nd hand modules can be coded as long as you can extract the SKC from it.

Earlier models can easily done if you have the correct tools, or if its a 973/974 clocks as mentioned earlier, then Eddie_NL or Kalu can do them for you.

[Redgtr]

Ok great so could Eddie or Kalu please get in touch with me I need this sorted cheers for your help guys

[Redgtr]
