Post by: jamie16v on 18 December 2010, 19:19: i think they are immo2, not sure if yours are immo1 being with out the display but if all the lights are in the right place then it`ll be fine.
could just cut out the screen bit if thats the case, just make sure first thought...lol

Post by: old_n07 on 18 December 2010, 19:40: They will fit but ideally you need to get your foils out and compare the position of the symbols.

MK4 Golfs (even the very early ones) are either immo 2 or post 2001 are immo 3. Don't worry about the extra bit in the middle as they are none FIS foils but they can be cut to suite your cluster using your existing foils as a template :afro:

Post by: old_n07 on 18 December 2010, 20:13: The foils are £30 something, while there are immo2 sport clusters going for arround the £60 mark on ebay, just a thought especially as you will need rings and needles to complete the cluster....

Ideally you need to match ALL the symbols to the foil, from the ones I can see you should be OK but the ones in the rev counter can't be seen or the ones that aren't illuminated.

Post by: andc1 on 18 December 2010, 21:24: true but rings are only £20 and i believe mk5 needles fit? it will cost me £20 to recode new clocks in then milege correction,
1 question tho, when i take my clocks out will i have issues when i refit? due to immobiliser being part of the clocks
Title: Re: bora foils
Post by: Wazzzer on 18 December 2010, 21:54: At first glance no they won't fit as the immobiliser icon is in a different position (compare it to the 70 on the rev counter)
Title: Re: bora foils
Post by: andc1 on 18 December 2010, 22:04: slightly off? yea think i can see it, what about these? unless you can sort me out a set? i hear your the man on clocks, foils or complete set im not fussed!

Title: Re: bora foils
Post by: Wazzzer on 19 December 2010, 16:56: TBH it's a complete minefield buying the foils, I was a just lucky that shakey had a set that matched my original ones. That said I still had to cut the centre section out as the Bora foils had 8 icons rather than 6
