tdi sport 6 dial clocks
- Thread starter uksteffy
- Start date
Can the immobiliser be coded using any other diagnostics? I don't have access to vag com and still not 100% on what It's all about. Because I don't wanna have to pay seat to code one in for me.? And would be great to hear if anybody else has successfully fitted a 4 dial cluster.
I don't think it matters, they not listed separate. I can have a look tonight though.
tdi as well

I think the differences will be down to what stored in the flash. Without physically trying this it's hard to say, but I'd have it a good guess the FR clocks from either will be ok, look at the speed sensors.
As I said, I'll investigate more after work

After looking at the parts listing again, It appears there are different clocks for with/without ABS, and with/without trip computer, though I can't see many not having ABS. Next, as already mentioned, they can be calibrated in KM/H or MPH again can't see that being an issue in the UK, and also the lower spec clocks go to 140MPH and the others 160MPH. Some of the other differences will be cosmetic, and specific info residing in the immobiliser IC. I'm going on the assumtion that the speed sensor will be married up to the box, therefore sorting out the signal that end rather than in the instrument panel.
At the end of the day, as far as I know, this has not been attempted before, so naturally we need some of these "theories" testing, and conclusions will be built up on the relevant feedback from our guinea pigs. So anyone doing the work, please.. your feedback is essential.

Good point there!! that will be where the cosmetic differences come in. The Rev counter will be calibrated differently, and you'd lose the (FR) white background if you swapped the backing over, though that's possibly the answer to retaining correct calibration. In this case Diesel FR clocks will be the best candidate if you wanted the white backing.
Can anyone else think of some other differences?

Well looking at some images on the web, some Rev counters go to 6000rpm (my Cupra TDI), some to 7000rpm (possibly a NA petrol), and 1.8T FR goes to 8000rpm, so calibration will definitely be out. Pity, because underneath the overlay/backing they're probably very similar.
Some more research is needed. All input welcome

Sorry to thread revive but I've found a set of 4 dial FR TDi clocks for my 130 sport (currently has 6 dials), are they compatible or not, basically just want a definite answer?
