Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Any electrical whizzes here who've swapped instrument displays?

    Hi all,

    I was in a new Passat today (nice car, horridly low roofline for somebody tall though) and couldn't help but notice the beautifully legible red LED displays in the tacho and speedo (computer and odometer displays respectively.)

    I'm just wondering if anybody knows if these displays would be swappable into a current Polo GTI (with crapola LCD displays) - this would be assuming they could be gotten hold of somehow without having to buy a whole instrument cluster, of course.

    Hoping there's a budding Dr Frankenstein of car electronics who can please weigh in on this one!

    Cheers!

    lol hello there pogoam, had the same idea as well... i think its possible coz the local german guys can get their car with fully auto climate control and red digital read out between speedo & rev... but not too lucky for us... but may be get hold of a cluster from germany and bring it here??? lol
