Damn thats a really good idea to unhook the speedo cable by going under, when I did mine I managed to press the tab while my dad pulled the cable from under the hood lol

Hello i recently bought a cluster that has the same functions as yours anyhow you can give a full diagramme of the cluster please also there's a vacuum line i don't know where it goes my engine is carburator.

Where did you get your gear knob from? Was it a sticker for the original golfball?

Excellent video. My clock/MFA doesn't light up. Would that be cured by fitting a new lower bulb or does it have its own bulb within the clock unit?

Were the led bulbs green colour ; Or were they white led bulbs and the green was produced by the green filter ;

Yes the LED's are white and pass throw a green filter.

Dont know if @RestoDesigns will see this comment or not. But here goes I have an Mk2 with just two lights on upper part of the dash. The 3rd middle one isn't there. They are not working, I have bought new bulbs and installed but still they don't work. I was told that it might be the green foil that is broken. it did snap or tore off in one small part of the clock. I would like to ask how to fix this, if there is any way without using new foil or clocks. Cheers

hi there, first check what is missing +12 or -12 once you know that then it's easy, if -12 is missing then you can take earth from anywhere with a wire and solder that wire on to the bulb leg which makes contect onto the green foil. If you're missing +12 then again solder a wire from one of the other bulbs +12 and solder that to the bulb that isn't working. Hope that makes sense.

@@RestoDesignsnando wow, thank you for such a quick answer. I don't understand what you are talking about. I mean I understand that +12 means the electricity 1.2 ampers if I understood correctly. But I don't know how to solder, the bulbs came with their cases not just legs. Anyways, thank you but I am condemned to drive my Golf without dash lighting. Listen to the engine to change the gear and all that. Also none of the bulbs are working and I bought them new.

On the website you can choose different colors on the LEDs but is there something that makes it green on the dash? Because i want it to be red light and not green.
