Title: Clock swap!
Post by: Ricky_M on 22 May 2005, 14:44: I'm considering putting GTI clocks into my Golf, I was wondering if anyone has done this and how difficult is it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Post by: VWDino on 22 May 2005, 15:36: Yeah its possible, done this with my Driver. Prob best getting a set out of a GL or something similar unless you want to wire up the MFA sensors and wiper stalk(GL ones have a digital clock instead of the whole MFA). Get ones with the same mph i.e. 120 and sort out the mileage or do what I did and split the clocks and insert your speed guage in them. Do a search on this forum, your bound to find some more info on it. Rev counter should just be a simple case of Plug and playÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :smiley:

Cheers fella :smiley:
