rite ok i know i tried this thread before but it dies litterely......so here i found out how the mpg display works, wiper has a button at the end which controls the display to show mpg...petrol miles etcc.... so if i get one of these arms from the scrappies, and get the correct wiring and programmed, should i then be able to use it, or will i need to change my entire dial/display unit?

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Im interested to see how this works, was thinking about it myself.
I'm assuming that somewhere, this system will need a control unit - connected to the ECU, which will calculate and display the info... so surely this will be needed too.

you will need to change the complete display unit mate.
on the cars with the display there is a small screen in the rev counter which shows all the different functions

Yup, new Dials, as far as I know the 1.2's display is a 2 line display one is degrees and im not sure what the other one is, where as the 1.4> have larger displays to run through MPG/MTG/Temp etc.
haha yeah, think the quest has come to an end, spoke to my brother bout it and he said even if i change the dials to another set the milage will be wrong and cant be changed unless the dials are brand new with 0 miles on the clock, so guess im giving up now, will just do without

They can be mate.
If you get a set and want to give it a go, I have VAG-COM and a few other util's that can code a set of clocks, change mileage etc - can help you out no problem.
digging up this old gravestone, my mate recons if i bought the mpg control stalk and wiring loom it should work on my dials, im still not sure but he said he done it too his mini and it worked fine, he now has a pd130, but his is single dial clock and mines is double segment
No Idea, pics of the dash?
Whats the middle screen for mate? i have a seat ibiza FR 2006 facelift model, and i have the centre screen aswel but it was in an accident before i brought it and its never worked? i get lights in it, like engine light ect prior to starting it up. any ideas what shows up in there though?
why dont you buy a scangauge and plug that into the OBDII port and have done with it ....surely by doing it this way as you can get a scangauge for £120 it will work out cheaper.....

on my audi s3 its similar and it shows a digital speedo and what music is playin etc.
i assumed this would be the same? but might just be off due to the prior accident
