dial swap

[jp123]

I was just wondering if speedo/rev counter from a 140 mph 1990 1.8 GTi would swap into my 1991 ryder with clock

Just swap the whole units over. If you don't want the mfa then get set of clocks out of a Gl model (Iirc) as these have rev counter but no mfa

mfa?

multi function indicator, its the computer thingy on the gti which shows mpg, oil temp etc. you wont have the wiring for this so it'll just work as a clock.  main thing is to check the gti clock plug(s), if it has 1 plug then will fit. if 2 then it wont

those are pre-90 ones with 2 plugs. also not keen on the wire from the resistors to the screw there, means it has PCB damage

your car has the hazard switch on top of the column yes? if so you need single plug clocks

[jp123]

yep mine has hazards on the column, so basically these are no good? how do i know which are the single plug ones?

[rubjonny]

well, they only have 1 plug on the bottom

Or if removing them yourself then just make sure the hazard switch is on the column and not on the dash
