hi there!
has anyone out there had any problems with 52 plate caddy tdi clocks/instruments not working?
fuel & temp gauges move their full range & back with ignition off but settle to zero when ignition on, rev counter does not work & is stuck at about the 6 o'clock position, speedo has now settled back to resting position.

cheers john

Sounds like an earth problem. i had the same problem on my mk2 caddy van it turned out to be the big block connector under the bonnet (connects engine loom to vehicle loom) there was a brown and white wire off there which was making a poor earth. try earthing the brown and white wire out before the plug (vehicle loom side) if the clocks work its probably the plug. The knurled ring on mine had become brittle and the tabs were broke so didnt pull the connector together properley. hope this helps.

Thanks mate i found the problem to be the earth wires at the back of the fuse box, there are a cluster of about 10 which we not connected properly.

cheers again john.
