Title: Cluster needle incorrect
Post by: vw55raz on April 28, 2012, 10:25:41 pm

Fitted my highline cluster today and noticed the needle on the revs is far below 0 when the car is off. Giving incorrect reading for when im driving.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8161%2F7122377735_0a85e70287_b.jpg&hash=b7876030bfe488a53f060dfcda9a570a2bb3b212)


Was thinking of opening the clusters and manually adjusting it but is there any other way to sort this?

Thanks

Raz

Take the front cover off and rotate the needle anti-clockwise slowly - that's how I have done it in the past.

You can then go into Output Tests in 17-instruments to ensure it is right and do the needles so it sweeps the range (start - end - settles in middle).

Thanks Mate. I just had a play around with a spare set of clusters and did that, will do it with the highline ones tommoorww

be careful when you adjust the needle always rotate anti clockwise, or you could ruin the actuator
