1988 gt clocks

[jond]

hi I need to replace my 1988 gt clocks I managed to destroy the ribbon connector when attempting to refit my original clocks after sorting out a non working fuel gauge so now need a new set I am tracking a set on fleabay but notice that some have a maf (think this is some sort of computer ) my original set don't have this if I bought the computer set will it work in my car or do stick with an original set

also ive been describing my car as a gt2 it was only when I looked on the tailgate and it said GT that the penny dropped whats the difference between these models

The GT started out as a 1.6, then got the 1.8 in about 1988. The GT11 was introduced for 1990, it came with sports seats in the corporate tartan and fully colour coded bodykit, yours will be black. The GT11 was in production until the end, even after VW dropped the Scala injection, and the run out models came with central locking and electric windows.

Reference the clocks, the MFA (multi function analyser) were fitted to injection models, so that function wuldn't work on yours but not sure if the speedo and rev counter would? You would be better off putting a wanted ad on here, most of us tend to us bits and bobs kicking around.

thank I will try fleabay first as ive been waiting for ages for the auction to end then try a wanted ad wrong place to post but what sort of mpg could I get from the old girl I am running a 2ltr petrol Vectra at the moment and get about 26mpg around town

You should be able to get 30+ around town and up to 40+ on a long run if you are not thrashing it.

There are some very expensive clocks on Ebay, you should be able to pick up a set much cheaper here and it will be for a Scirocco!

Just had a quick look on Ebay, someone is trying to sell a clock set with a knackered LCD clock for £54!

The is another seller with a job lot of clocks, sure it is MarkH off here, much better deal!

[jond]

the job lot is the ones i am after didnt want to give it away before the end of the auction but what the heck hope no one else on here reading this need em

[ianaudia4]

Why not pm MarkH and see if you can work a deal out without all the faf of Ebay.
