My Mk5 2.0 GT

Thanks all :smiley: Every time I start the car the staging on the cluster still brings a massive grin to my face, looks so much cleaner now.

If I knew the step by step for the whole procedure I'd happily try and do a tutorial for it as it's such an amazing mod to get done, however as Ed knows my car pretty well he was able to do an awful lot of the prep work for things before coming round to actually fitting it in the car. You may not need to swap out the ABS pump depending on the year of the car and version running in your car at the moment, mine was an 04 plate and had a pretty old revision pump so I had no option but to replace it with a newer version if I wanted this cluster. As far as fitting it in the Mk5 the internals from the Mk6 were swapped out into a Scirocco housing so it would fit perfectly in the Mk5 (There's a Youtube video of this being done for a colour screen) and Ed made up a loom which means the unit doesn't stick out at all, basically it looks like it's standard kit and looks brilliant.
If you want this doing I really do recommend having a chat to @Eddie-NL, the amount he knows about this stuff is staggering and has always been a massive help to me even when I panicked due to a flat battery when coding my new CECM :signLOL:

Headlights look good, how do the compare for visibility over the standard units?
gixerben:
good work fella, should have come over for a look when I was over for my coding with ed. :ashamed:
Georrge:
Nice improvements, looks lovely!
I think I'm going to have to get a set of the Depo headlights! What is the actual difference between the genuine Xenons and the Depo's?

The visibility is on another level to the standard units and I even had 130% XtremeVision bulbs in those which I thought were great! I can now drive on roads without using high beams that I used to need them and if I do kick the high beams on then it's like driving in daylight.

Yea same here, think I was fighting with getting the headlights out when you turned up if I remember right and then had to code Xenons in, by the time the swearing had stopped you were just leaving :signLOL: Ah well, another time :happy2:

In all honesty I'm not 100% sure what the difference is. There's a blue Mk5 TDI that sometimes parks near my house with Xenons and I can't tell if they are genuine units or not, they look exactly the same.
