instrument cluster January 01, 2022, 04:38:24 PM The mfa display in my gti is blank I have another set of clocks/instrument cluster that I can see if its just a replacement display or something more. My question is this is a ce2 one plug panel can I remove the plug from the fitted panel and connect it to the replacement without taking the fitted panel out.? In other words is it just a plug in job with enough cable to drop low enough to make the connection.scs

Re: instrument cluster Reply #2 – January 07, 2022, 11:29:00 AM Oh, hang on, you mean you have 2 sets of CE2 clocks, and want to reach in from underneath, pull the plug of and test the spare set of clocks in your hand rather than go to the trouble of fitting the cluster in the dash! Yeah, that should work if you can get enough length of cable.
Re: instrument cluster Reply #3 – January 07, 2022, 11:53:27 AM Yes thats what I meant I have 2 sets of clocks and wondered if it was possible just reach inside disconnect the plug and slave in the spare. Sounds like you think its possible thanks.scs

Re: instrument cluster Reply #5 – January 08, 2022, 07:54:54 AM doubt you will have enough length on the cableif it lights up it has to come apart may as welltake it apart at least it will fill in an hour lol
