Hi all gr8 thread,
 New to the forum and tbh, joined for this thread really. Ok my question:
May of already been answered but can't quite grasp what I need to know..
Anyway. I have a 1999 golf 1.8t,
The Mfa (fis) has gone funny so took the bora sport clocks from my 2002 bora.

Now can I put the bora clocks in the golf?
Both made by VDO and both have 920 in the serial number meaning both can-bus so can I swap?

Many thanks
Hope I can help in future, done a fair few conversions and have loads of parts laying around that I need to clear. Lol

Yeah swap can be done but will need immo coding to car. Where in the country are you?

I'm in Chigwell near Romford.
I see the post about vagwerkes who just happens to be my pals brother and his mate. But they telling me it can't be done. ( they just want my clocks) any not far from there but they can't do it.

Do I need the SKC?

[itavaltalainen]

Did they say why they can't swap them?

Do you have full part numbers for both, if the old ones were immo3 and they newer ones immo2 then it would not be possible, but as the replacements are newer that should not be an issue.

Only thing is that you may need new transponders.

You will need the SKC to code the bora speedo to the car. This can be retrieved with the right tools, done that a few times in the past.

Said can't be done because the golf is too old. I know that's nonsense.

Both clusters are can-bus as both have 920 in the part number and both are made by VDO. Golf is a 1999 1.8t and the bora is a 2002 1.6se (although I converted it to the Cupra AUQ engine)

[itavaltalainen]

I can do it for you but am at the other end of country!
You could send your speedo to me and I can get you SKC extracted, then you can match it to your 98 car with VCDS lite.

I could do it as well but I'm a fair few miles and a boat trip away from you lol

[Richieblue83]

Ok. Where about a are you both? I don't mind a mission or 2
