Hello all, just to let you know that a friend and I have been developing new MFA LCD screens which will be available very soon. Price is still to be sorted but won't break the bank. Will come with full instuctions showing you how to replace the screen. The kit will include new contact strips and a new screen. I have just received the sample screens this week so am hoping the new screens will be available to sell within the next month.

I also need a Mk2 to test them on as well if there is a member in the central belt of Scotland. Will get a new screen fitted FOC,

If I was nearer I could of found you 2 sets of clocks to practise on! I sadly live in Essex. :sad:
-
What would be really good is if they were to illuminate when you push the MFA button, so you can see the display in the dark!
-
Put a bulb in the clocks behind the mfa.
-
Better still use a white based 2w bulb sold for the VW T25 clocks.
Don't bother with led versions - the ones I've tried have been a poor fit and contacts go iffy after a few days.
As the access to the back of the clocks, including the vacuum pipe is such a swine to achieve, the last thing you want is to have to pull the clocks out a few days later when the aftermarket LEDs start playing up!
-
I got some from eBay. Best bulbs ive had.
Better than the 1St set of leds that didnt fit
-
I live in Glasgow if I'm any help? my golf not on the road so I could either bring the clocks and fit the screen and take it home and test it or you could come to me?

they should already illuminate when you switch the lights on. maybe yours are faulty :huh:

Hi - this thread looks to have fizzled out. Did the replacement MFA LCD screens ever become a reality?
Cheers, Jamie.

I'd also be interested as I need to replace the MFA LCD in my Mk2.
-

me too

any joys with production??

If you search for ydsparts on google (who this thread was started by) you should find their online shop (bikes I think they do)... See if you can get in touch with them that way to see if they are doing the screens 😇

Hi all, the chips are now here, had a bit of hassle sorting them out but all tested and fine now. They are £30 posted anywhere in the UK. PM me or email me at alasdair@ydsparts.com for one. They will fit any MFA Mk1 and Mk2. Also Jetta as well as early Scirocco. Basically anything with an MFA and single screen.
