Title: 16v clocks
Post by: jamrock on 12 July 2010, 22:28

my GTI used to be an 8v.

what clocks do i need to get now as its a 16v, its an E reg so it has one plug clocks at the moment. how can i be sure they are 16v clocks when i am buying them??

if its an e reg it'll be 2 plug clocks. you dont need 16v clocks, 8v ones still work fine. 16v ones just have 160mph speedo and an 8k rev counter

Is it connected to the Flux Capacitor?












They do look odd though, normaly the mk2 petrol gauge is in the middle of the cluster, speedo on left and revs on right. Small rectangle of warning lights above fuel gauge and water temp above that. Your dials are wierd...  Must be rare :smiley:

Looks to me as if u have the earlier 8v clocks with the mpg gauge where the water temp is on the later models,the switch probably switches between modes 1 and 2 on the digital display,one the later modles it's a slider switch  on the right hand stalk,do u have this? if not I'd say this is what it's for.

the 1/2 knob is for the mfa, switches between mode 1 and 2.

they look like early scirocco MK2 ones to me, afaik all the MK2s had the 1/2 switch on the stalk but i could be wrong on that.
