VAG Clocks On A VR6

[ardandy 0]

Come across a prob when putting the TT clocks into a VR6. The revs will be displayed wrong because the "ping rating????" will be for 4cyl, yet the VR6 has 6.

 

 

 

If this makes sense to anyone, is there a way around it without using different clocks? (Like the MK4 Golf in the TT binnacle)

Dont they make a 6 cyl TT now? price could be a tad on the steep side though? good look though

Try some 4motion clocks instead, theyre the same/similar as TT clocks, but made for a V6.

What exactly are you doing andy?

I'm doing nothing yet. But as a new dash is out of the ques for quite a while due to finances, I thought it might be possible to just replace the clocks out of a TT/Golf etc.

 

This ques came about because when I spoke to Andy Walker about it he mentioned that the rev counter will be off because of them coming from a 4cyl eng and being put in a 6cyl.

 

Wondered if there was a way around that, other than putting V6 clocks on which are much rarer. (on the TT).

 

Would it be poss to fit (after dremeling) TT or Golf Mk4 clocks in the C's binnacle?

It should fit mate, as Andy will tell you "anything is possible, it just depends if youre happy with it" ;)

 

He was going to fit them to mine, but left it OE instead. He'll probably source you some clocks anyway.

There's a thread somewhere where someone's fitted Mk4 clocks - very tidy. Surely a tach signal's a tach signal though? Have a look on the megasquirt or sds forums

 

EDIT - Here they are!

Supercharged has them in his TDI, but he didn't do the install and he does have the Mk4 engine attached to them as well :lol:

Any idea on an install price for MK4 clock fitted to a C dash?

[saysomestuff 0]

is it worth it if you're looking to change the dash ultimately mate?

[ardandy 0]

Dash maybe some way off. Nearly £2k is a lot to fork out, especially as a partial respray and wedding has to come first!

 

I suppose though that the clocks can be just carried over to the new dash, and if anything, should make it a bit easier??

Andy if you got some early type V6 MK4 clocks I can get them in and working for you. As for cost......not sure.

[ardandy 0]

£10?

 

No thats silly, only joking!

 

£20?

[24V Renshaw 0]

I'll ask andy walker tomorrow at PSI tuning. Then half it and Jay will do it for that!
