Clock swap!
« 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

Sorry, its a 1300 Golf Ryder, the clocks have 120mph on them. I just want them for the rev counter really.

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 play  :smiley:

I didn't know the clocks could be split. My biggest concern was finding clocks with 120 on them.
Cheers fella :smiley:

Can be but be very careful, especially with the circuit foil and plugs. Speedo is separate to the rest when they are split so just replace with yours.
