heya all,

 

as ive jus got me a mk5b, i was thinking about having a rev counter fited, now i was thinking will a xr3i mk5b dial cluster fit as i havent got a rev counter at the moment, or would it be better to fit a seperate tacho??

 

 

thanks eddie

check to see if you have the plug there , if you do , fit an xr3 cluster

sweet, ill have a butchers tomorrow, cheers paul

No probs

I have a mk5b mistral & swapped my dials for 150mph rev counter ones & were fine.

same as what i did when i had the mk5b dash....

 

XR3 with the gray cluster and red needles, that lit up red, at the time it was better then green lol..

 

only thing i had to do was take a signal from the coil pack for the taco coz it read dubble when i just pluged it in... if you have the same prob its easy to fix..

 

1. cut wire of pin 10

2. join new lenth of wire to what you just cut (plug side)

3. on the coil pack there is a plug with 3 wires on it no. 1 will be next to engine

4. splicer in to no. 2 or 3 and join the wire up... (so it joins pin 10 on plug)

 

job done
