marinabrid Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 hi all had a problem a while ago with the gal temp gauge reading high after the turbo oil pipe split, anyway month later still running fine, i got a cheapo vagcom lead off ebay for Quote
28vr6 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 I've just suffered a temp gauge problem where the reading has gone from the usual needle between the O & R of norm to just into the white area, traced to faulty instrument cluster, as I have a spare it proved the fault, this may be the same fault for your symptoms. I don't think the vagcom can recode the cluster for this fault but I would love to be corrected Quote
me myself and I Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 Hi I have the same problem with the needle (dropping into the white when running) doesnt prove to a problem as it rises to give a normal reading when stuck in traffic but it is just annoying.If I get a new cluster with digital readout can I just switch them around and is it easy?

28vr6 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 swapping clusters is easy, move steering wheel so the bit with the big hole is uppermost and set steering height adjustment to lowest, undo instrument shroud screws (x2) ease out shroud, remove inst cluster screws (x2) rotate cluster towards you, undo red & black loom connectors ( might only have red connector depending on model) ease left hand side of cluster between wheel and console. (Haynes mode on) Refitting is the reverse of removal (Haynes mode off). Ensure you get the exact cluster part no as they are model and spec dependant. A new cluster will require the mileage adjusting with vagcom or similar OBDII reader Quote
