is it possible???
i've got a '58 GT Sport 1.4tsi 170 DSG 5dr with cruise, i seem to see lots of people doing it on slightly older golfs, but some only seem to offer it on cars up to 2006/2007.
if it is possible, what do i need and what does it cost??
its it just a new LCD screen, or do i need a complete set of new clocks
sorry for the dumb questions, but i'm just starting this journey
thanks

Hi mate YES it can be done, you will need the complete cluster, yours will be a 974 cluster and will need to be coded by someone like morty or kalu
Ive got a 974 petrol cluster if your interested mate???

Morty can't do 974 or 973
Kalu is the only one :smiley:

Thanks Ed :happy2:

Thanks for the reply.
Does your cluster have the boost guage rather than a water temp guage?
If so, how much :)
And who is Kalu?

No just the water temp mate
Kalu is a member on here who can recode the immo on the 973 and 974 clusters

i'm guessing clusters with the boost guage and highline are rare as rocking horse doodaa

Yeah i think so mate, is that the one your after or would you be interested in a normal petrol highline?
-
You don't have to fit one with a boost gauge
If you like the boost gauge, you can add the Polar FIS that will display boost and other live data
-
as its all electronic these days, could the temp guage be made to act as the boost guage?

NO
get the polar FIS

i'm guessing thats either a raw nerve or been asked many many times then!
thanks for the advice though :)
Phil,
you got a price for your clocks?

No you didn't hit a nerve. But you can't make a boost gauge out of a temperature gauge unless you are a magician.
the cluster is a complete unit, although it is possible to take it apart. To change the function like that would require certain hardware and firmware changes.
-
fair enough, i wasnt sure what was possible with vagcom and the likes.
-
:signLOL: This topic lost me a lot of hair - time and money.
Changed mine - clocks were like rocking horse poo......out had to change soooo much stuff as I wanted the multi function steering wheel to work as well.
I have to change....
clocks
Slips ring
and steering wheel controller module
and someone to code it all. Does depend on what you currently have and what you want. I think the expense part mainly comes from adding the multi function steering wheel.
-
yeah, i've got that idea from reading a couple of threads.
i need to find out exactly what i need and then decide if its worth doing.
i dont really want to lose the boost gauge, but it looks like i gave to in order to do this.
i've also taken a fancy to the mk6 steering wheel rather than the mk5 :cry:
-
Best bet it to complete these questions, then you will get your answers
What dy you have?
- Car, make model, year etc
- Slip ring part number ? (behind the steering wheel)
- Steering wheel controller part number (again, under the steering colum)
- Obviously, clocks part number
- Oh and do you have buttons on wheel and the moment
There can be a big knock on effect and depending on what you want to do, you may have to replace ALL of these
-
wifes got the car this weekend so i cant answer most of that right now!
however one question, how do you take the wheel off to check the slip ring?
-
A VCDS code read will tell you what extra parts you will need mate :happy2:
steering control module
Address 16: Steering wheel Labels: 1K0-953-549-MY8.lbl
Part No SW: 1K0 953 549 BD HW: 1K0 953 549 BD
Component: J0527 036 0070
Coding: 0003022
Shop #: WSC 00066 000 00000
VCID: 75E5E5E76551
Part No: XXXXXXXXXXX
Component: E0221 002 0010
No fault code found.
and from that you can work out if you need a new slip ring mate
-
hmm, so find someone who can do a code read, or shell out £200 for a code reader
-
Wheel easy - disconnect battery, remove airbag and remove centre bolt - unless you know someone with the above
How to remove wheel/airbag etc.

There will prob be a member near to you who would do a complete code read for you for a few beer tokens, but if you do get a code reader, get VCDS nothing else, VCDS will pay for its self many times over in the amount it saves you :happy2:
