I need a new trip computer

I know I know, the stealers.  But short of that, does anyone know anywhere that sells them?  Mines pretty much faded all of the time now :(

Grrr, that is so annoying.  You know it's going to be stupidly expensive too!!

I wonder if there's any way of installing the nicer Audi trip computer instead :)

clocks are different shape i believe.

Best bet is to get a set of 2nd hand clocks and get them recoded.  what year is your car? will determine what you can fit as they move from Immobilser 2 to 3 during production.

You'll also need the SKC code of the new clocks to code them to your car and your keys.

its doable but takes a bit of know how and VAG COM

So it isn't a straight swap...  Is it definitely going to work in an old 1999 Golf?
