.A.N.T. 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Wouldn't have thought it was a problem behind the clocks as they're all on the single block going in to the clocks. You'd be getting other issues if there was a loose wire behind there. More likely something to do with the actual sender in the coolant expansion tank. If you still want to get the clocks off then you'll need the steering wheel off (you can remove the indicators if you want, but I found that you could do it with them still on if you put the column at the lowes setting). Either side of the clocks at the front there are 2 plastic covers, prise them off gently as they are no longer made by VW and undo the screws below. Up the top of the plastic surround there's 2 screws there, then the front part shoudl come off exposing the clock surround. Either side there are 2 screws, undow this and the clock unit will fall forward a bit. Lift off the right hand side, reach behind and pull off the vacuum hose, then the electrical connectors which can be very stiff. Push either side of them to release the clips and it should come off ok, then just twist the clocks and they should come out. Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marshole82 0 Posted October 16, 2008 indeed it does! will check the connection of the coolant sensor on the block first, the sensor on the header tank is fine as it is registering heat and low water correctly. need to find the switch at the other end of the loom before i check the clock stuff.

marshole82 0 Posted March 9, 2010 right, this issue is now back on my to do list after loads of other crap went wrong! all the temp sensors are replaced and working fine. the wiring from these sensors is also ok - at least in the engine bay at any rate. i can get all the screws off aand move the clocks a bit, the electrical connection on the left side of the clocks comes off no worries too, but there is a lead going into the centre of the clocks - speedo? - and i think one on the right side too which, neither of which i want to just pull out? any advice on what i do about these? once off i can at least check all of the electrical connections to see if any have failed, hoping it's just a wire break, massive pain to find but much cheaper... thanks :salute: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
