hi i'm looking into putting vr6 clocks in to my 16v > any one done this befor . need a little help with the loom ? would g60 clocks fit easyer ?

Id imagine they will be calibrated differently so the miles and revs will be inaccurate.

the rev counter would be VR specific,not sure on the speedo tho

Everything will be ok with speedo, but rev counter will be very inaccurate. U can use your old cluster, just put on new style vr6 clocks and needles...

Hi. I just did a similar swap here in the states ('93+ Late style Digital Vr6 Cluster into my 90 G60 Mechanical Cluster) and ironically is what lead me to this forum to do some research.

 

in short, the tach is 1/3 off (as expected) and the Speedo reads 5mph too fast. I think the speedo is off due to the different trans final drive.

 

I have no resolution yet and am weighing my options, but think I am going to pursue just swapping the needles and faces as suggested onto a digital 4cyl cluster. I am trying to search and find out of the later 2.016v UK Corrado had the Later style Clock faces. if so this may be my best option because I would prefer the higher redline.

 

Not sure if you have the mechanical speedo or not, but If you are interested, here is the writeup that I did in the VWVortex (work in progress) http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3078876

 

Cheers,

Shawn
