its a mk3 gti but are they 8 or 16v? The reason I ask is I have a 16v and I've read in a couple of place's the clocks have more on the speedo and the revs, but mine doesn't just wondering if they've been changed?

Right so the VR6 and the 16v are different? And that would make the 8 and the 16v the same?

As john said 16v and vr6 clocks go to 160 mph and the 8v clocks goto 140mph so the clocks you have got in are the right clocks for your car... :smiley:

actually all 3 are a little different. the red lines are all in different places on the scale... 16v redlines at 6.8 or somewhere around there. vr6 redline at around 6.3.... 8v is different still.....

This is really weird all paperwork and history corresponds with the car but it's got the wrong dial's! could I put 16v white dials over the top or would all the speed and revs be wrong?
