Hi

Got a corrupt dash clock from a 1999 a4 tdi facelift model,
cars screen display is half missing, mileage is showing a row of 9's and car wont start...
i have been trying to get one of these clocks and code it in from the car breakers but i cant get one with the same 10 digit number, also im told i have to match the last letter too...is this true??

can anyone repair/rewrite these clocks?

any help appreciated

thanks

One way around this is;

Get a matching dash/ECU/transponder keychip(s) from the
same donor car,.. same model and year as yours.

did think of that jim but could get the clocks no problem but either ecu was gone or too pricey and there was no keys for it etc

Hi
Managed to locate a clock its out of same year of car etc but the code on clock is 8D0920950 (no end letter at all) Engine code AHU -
My own one is 8D0920950E Engine Code AVG..

Anyone KNOW if this would work in mine as if i take it i cant return it

Thanks

in theory they should work if you copy softcode from old cluster and they are similiar age/both tdi clusters

i fitted an s4 cluster in my 1.8t and it works perfectly

you still need security code so you will need someone who can read it then code in key

(if you live near stoke on trent i can do it)

thanks mate but im too far from you, already have the 5 digit pin code ,,, also i can get a lend of the super vag k+ can ... if this would code it in for me

Did the Super Vag retrieve the 5 digit code?

Not sure if it will enter it, but VCDS is capable....

Let us know how you get on.

yes, got the code using the super vag k +can

by the way what does VCDS cost?

its the code from the new cluster you need so you'll have to borrow cable again

Hi All

I never got this sorted as couldnt get a matching clock and couldnt get a clock,ecu key set either...

A guy mentioned he could get this started for me... he wanted me to send him my car's ecu where he would remove/turn off the immobiliser ( i thought the immobilser was in the dashclock) and return it to me... he said that the car would now start and i wouldnt even have to match the dashclock code as any similar one would now fit...

What you think ???

thanks
