Title: Dash Lights After Highline Install
Post by: Lyons on January 23, 2016, 09:17:55 am
Folks, I got a set of 973 R32 clocks fitted yesterday and the usual lights came on after. The steering wheel light went out after turning the wheel lock to lock, but the traction control and tyre pressure lights are still on. I've done a few circles in a carpark too and they haven't gone out.

I don't have vcds myself, but I can get it plugged in by a few others I know, but I'm just wondering if these can be cleared by it? Anytime they've come on in the past after having the wheel off, steering module out etc they've gone off after the above exercises. Just wondering if something different would've happened when fitting new clocks?

There r 2 more faults u need to clear using vcds. Where  r u based?

Its usually basic settings u need to perform on the abs section for groups 60,63 and 66.

Belfast sadly!

Thanks, I'll get someone local to plug it in. I didn't realise vcds was needed to clear anything after.

Do you know why the washer low warning would be on now after too?! I thought it might just've been low and topped up but alas I wasn't that lucky!

Ive always disabled the low washer thingy on the clusters. Even with full bottle it still shows up and not sure why.

Ah, more good news then! Cheers.

I didn't know you could disable it even. Do you know what controller its in?

It is in the coding of the cluster in 17-instruments, same place as brake pad & searbelt warning.
If you don't have the sensor in the reservoir, it will always say it is empty.

One time I fitted R32 clocks to a gti and the calibration process via ABS and the G85 sensor took a lot longer than usual, needs VCDS that is all.

I might as well ask in here too, is it possible to get the speed displayed on the screen?

And can you turn off the compass so the clock is in the centre?

If you have one of those fis boxes installed then u can display the speed in one of the parameters.  Not sure about the compass though

If your car is between 04-06 plate and u get clocks ending in 970,971 or972 you can buy the clone vag commander cable and do it yourself but you will need VCDS to clear error faults. vcds is around £260 - £300

I got the clocks off eBay and brought them to them, they won't supply.

@RetroRaz (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6494) I had the temperature and fuel needles off before I fitted the clocks and notice now that I mustn't have put them back in the right place as they are a few mm to the left when the car is both up to temperature and with a full tank.

If I remove the clos from the car to dismantle and fix the needles will the lights come back on after I get them reset? Or will the lights only appear for the first time after new clocks are installed?

Am I right in thinking once coded to the car the can be removed and refitted without issue too?

Hey

You will get the abs and esp lights, just go for a drive around 25mph and they should clear off themselves
