Yep the plugs are supposed to be attached to the ribbon.
I can't remember if that ribbon just pushes in the back of the plugs?

Basically my understanding is there are 4 plugs 2 for each side 2 are on the car wiring loom and the other 2 are of the clocks ribbon cable and they are the 2 that have been ripped off :(
Saw mr funk earlier today and explained it to him and he seemed to think the same with then being a bit beyond it lol

Early (pre 1988) MK2 Golf GTi's had the same clocks, gives you more options when trying to find replacements, also the Jetta GTi!

The later Golfs (and Jettas) had a clock set with only one plug in, the Scirocco was never fitted with Digifant (not in the UK) and all the associated parts, they stuck with good old-fashioned K-Jet.

just had a look and the golf clocks look different? the rev section is squared off? is this correct? don't really like the look to be honest

Hey guys,
right i can't seem to find any 2 plug clocks that are the same as mine.
Will any 2 plug work ie the ones with both the fuel and temp gauge in the rev limiter?
like this one -

My clocks are the ones below if you want to compare.
thanks in advanced :)
