Yes, nice clocks...
Manufacturers keep revising to get you to buy the latest version - although of course there are the technological advancements too. :driver:

@ljc19630 (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=37183) They are 2016 Tiguan Premium 3D clocks, fitted and coded for me by someone cleverer than I. :smiley:
Ah nice! I see the RPM only goes to 6k and speedo to 160mph. Being a K04 converted car and at STG2+ mine reve's to well over 7k and i've already suppased 160mph on the clocks, but i REALLY like these and may look into getting a set :jumpmove:

You can get clocks from the Scirocco that go to 8k and 180mph with the same 3d Colour display

What else do they do... I can't remember what the original ones don't do, but off the top of my head:
Large MPH digital display
Shows navigation info in the MFD, with a bar that shrinks as you approach the junction
Gallons until empty
Compass
Shows the speed the cruise control is set to
+Most stuff the original can do, just looks prettier. :)

The main reason I love the MK5 so much is it's at my modern limit. I prefer older, analogue cars and the MK5 is not so old it looks hideously dated and aside from the wings, neither does it rust like an anchor. It's also not chock full of complex and expensive gadgets that are tricky to diagnose and repair.
The MK5 has the right level of easy and cost effective home maintenance, and is also a platform to modernise with MK6/7 parts if you so wish. It's why it's my favourite GTI by a country mile!
And lastly, more crucially for me, it responds to engine and chassis mods extremely well without destroying it's well behaved daily manners.

Why have you gone for Diesel clocks?
Maybe because it IS a diesel TDI 4motion
(same as mine, same clocks too)

Had to cancel the visit due to Work-related issues!!! VW-Retrofit supply and fit for £380 + you need an Adaptor loom £60. They also transfer your existing mileage across too
Ah that sucks. Yeah, Ive messaged Alex about this previously but he said they didnt supply which is why I asked. Well hopefully you can get booked back in soon!
