clocks
« on: 22 October 2007, 17:58 »
hi ppl, i have had problems with my clocks from my mk3 gti 16v.  I bought some used ones but the problems are still happening.  I took it to vw, they put it on the diagnostics but it was coming up with an error saying unable to read.  They are now saying that i need a brand new set of clocks, but they still may not work because i have took me original ones out.
Is this correct?  Has anyone else had these problems? the problem is that they switch off and reset everything, even when driving. the petrol gauge does not work, the temp gauge is not working properly and the speedo jumps

Cheers

I would have a look at all your earths first as this can make the speedo jump and also drain the power from the clocks when switched off.
