golf mk3 vr6 - changing the mileage on clocks? also repairing rev counter?


Recommended Posts

my black clocks in my golf vr6 the rev counter does not work, i tried these white clocks that are the same and the rev counter works fine, only thing is the mileage is different so can anyone change the white clocks to the same mileage as my golf vr6?

also is there any company out there that can repair the rev counter on my original black clocks???

last thing the white clocks it idles at about 1100rpm where as my old black clocks when working were idling at 800rpm which is normal.

best regards :thumbup:

Those clocks are different, they start at 0 and yours start at 10 so will they read correct speed? Also don't know if this is the case but if they are from a 4cyl then maybe the revs won't read correctly, I've swapped gauges before without realising different engine configurations and the revs haven't read correctly.

Kind of makes sense because working on a factor of 6 to get 800 if you work a factor of 4 you get 1200.

right ive won some clocks the same as mine on ebay. guess i need to find a decent electritian with a solder gun who knows what he is doing to swap the rev counters over.

also with them white clocks the fuel guage shoots up instantly, mine takes about 30 seconds to say how much is in my tank! :@
