Don't know but someone will!!

[stel g60 0]

dunno mate. never seen that before, on first looks it looks like some sort of alarm sensor but its not fitted in the right place. have you got some sort of buzzer on your car, for lights maybe? might be a tiny speaker. im just guessin thou

[veeDuB_Rado 0]

Got it on mine too, no idea what though...

[steve_16v 0]

Dunno what it is but some of the pics of the instruments in the owners manual show it so it must be standard in some cars

[selbekk 0]

yeah, I think all corrados got em. at least the early ones. I thought it was some kind of tool to change the time on the MFA, but it isn't.

[chrishill 0]

yep, had one of those on my valver and never worked out what it was for!

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Possibly some sort of diagnostic port?

[Riley 0]

for altering the mileage?

[jonny-5 0]

It's in a 1991 16v by the way. I have no idea my self, not a diagonstic port (k-jet), mileage is the old school type, so not for that. My idea is that could be where the sensor goes for a factory fitted alarm system.

ETKA wasn't much help either - it lists the black thing as.........a cap!!!

[PiercedWinky 0]

My G60 Cluster has that too. I will go check my late style VR cluster in a bit to see if it has it.

 

I always wondered what it was for.

[chaz g60 0]

I've had it on both of mine? someone gotta know! I thought it was some kind of reset key for the mfa? or a standard imobiliser thing?

[PiercedWinky 0]

My car never had an imobilizer tho... so that kinda rules that out

[chaz g60 0]

i dont think mine got a standard one but mayby it's on all the gauges incase you have it as an option.

[veeDuB_Rado 0]

A fob or something ? :?

[Cnut 0]

a fag holder (not that type of fag!)

[Riley 0]

mileage is the old school type, so not for that.

 

ahh,the dials with digitaly displayed mileage have it too....mmmm. :?

 

ive just sold a set of dials with this too,could have stripped em down and followed the tracks from the contacts :roll:

[cata 0]

patiently waiting to hear the answer to this one

[Riley 0]

here it is on the dials with digital mileage reading.

 

how about...

you guys running these dials,can you get the second mode on the mfa? where you can read your boost etc?

 

[chrishill 0]

yup i could, not boost though obviously since it was a valver. Different technique to getting the 2nd mode than you use on a VR but its still there.

[Trig 0]

RW1 will know, just need to wait for him to turn up with the answer ;)

I thought it was just a little cover over the speaker for the oil warning noise etc?

 

Actually, is there an oil warning noise?
