Easy on the caps locks mate  :smiley:

It's possible, I don't know the complete ins and outs but it's definitely possible. It will need coding and you will need to get the SKC (secret key code) off it.

Depends on the coding and part numbers.

The data needs to be removed from the current clock and then plugged in to the GTI clock. This can take about an hour's labour. Can be done by VW too. Swapping the clocks physically is very easy. It's the data transfer that takes time. Also, requires specialist equipment which VW will definitely have but 99.9% of garages won't.
