Title: Mileage
Post by: hill1975 on 06 May 2012, 10:32

Is there a way of finding out the correct mileage on my golf. Had to change clocks but not too sure if the clocks I took out are the original ones in the first place.

Yeah think so. Just that I'm sure someone's put VR6 clocks in it at some stage, and I got no paperwork or anything regarding the clocks so not sure if it's correct.

Cheers though!  :smiley:

No it's not, it's a 16v but I'm guessing someone has put VR6 clocks in it at some point. Got some 16v clocks and put them in yesterday and now the rev counter shows the correct rpm!  :smiley:
