Best Clocks for a MK2?

[JLH]

I have a 1996 MK2 Ibiza, and currently has a clock instead of a rev counter.
So was woundering what would be the best replacement and how easy would it be to connect the rev counter up?


Thanks

look for the 1.4s clocks mate as they should just plug in or alternatively, the gti clocks

i've got a 1.4. which ones do you mean?
and yeah i heard the gti ones would be a good replacement, will have to have a look about for some.

by 1.4 's' he means SPORT.
the Gti ones are pretty much a straight swap-over

oh right! i've got a ibiza S but it does nt have a rev counter :S
but the gti ones do look nice

 

[crezz]

well theres your two choices for direct fitmeant mate, im sure someone persuaded polo ones to fit also,

1.4s doesn't mean SPORT lol.. its just another spec model

Some cars came specced with rev counters, don't bother with Polo clocks theyre green illuminated.

For best bet for clocks with a rev counter look for 98 onwards cars, my salsa had them and so did all the end of the line S versions. Can also get them out of cordoba's. I wouldn't use gti clocks as the rev band aint the same.

Not all sets of GTI clocks are the same - they're subtly different between 8v (AGG engine code) and 16v (ABF engine code). Probably different again for 2E engine code (pre-facelift 2l 8v) and ADL engine code (1.8l 16v).
