Hi
I have put GTI clocks (2 plug) in & now have no mileage or Orange light, replaced the bulb & still nothing
Speedo, temp & oil appears to be ok, the rev counter not going above 3000, fuel gauge seems to be reading slightly higher than the last one
Not really bothered about rev counter but would like to get mileage & trip working. Would I be able to take the mileage display out of the old clocks?
X Reg yr 2000
Thanks

GTI clocks are PETROL
HDI is a DIESEL
You need a set of DIESEL clocks

Im not a mechanic so didnt know about rev ranges how many have you assumed something & turned out to be wrong or made a mistake with something?
Ok so I put the original clocks in & have no mileage or light, both working before I took them out can any clever a**ses can sort this?
1 or 2 replies ok I can deal with in making a mistake but some like jumping on the band wagon, sad

You should have quoted all my previous post looks like your trying to hide something. Some people are good at taking the p**s but dont like a bit back

People just having a laugh mate. If you're not a mechanic probably better off leaving these jobs to one or doing your research before undertaking it, it's been covered plenty of times on here.
