Title: help please speedo issue :)
Post by: Blu3Fo0T on 12 September 2008, 03:20

hey ive been after a new speedo since i brought my golf gti mk3 about 6 months back as the right hand display is completely broken, i have found a few places that do them and they want 40 quid plus 5 quid postage for one from the 2.0 gti model but only 16 for the one from the golf 1.8. i was wondering as they both display 140 on the clock whiether or not they would work on my golf as i could make a nice little saving if thats the case.

cheers, your help will be apriecated :)

Your gti will have an mfa computer display, that the 1.8 dosen't. And due to the the connector is different! Try ebaa as I've had several sets for about £15-20

yeah ive been quoted 40 quid to get it corrected and thats just not worth it might as well just buy them straight off with only 2k difference. 15 quids well cheap, im trying to get him down to 40 quid posted but he doesnt seem to want to budge as he said that golf gtis cost him a fair amount to buy.

off topic i know but does anyone know how to replace interior door handles as i have some new ones and was wondering if the door card was needed to be removed in order to install them? just ordered a haynes manual, it may be in there but i've got the day off and am pretty eager to get them installed today and cant find anything on good old google  :sad:

cheers
