You Know You have a mk2 Ibiza When........

[Finan]

You know you have a mk2 when the Parcel shelf creaks and Rattles like a b*tch.

Mines all bent and i dont want a new one cause i got epic 6X9s in it.. but the rattling.. its annoying

 

[M1KEH]

ooooo

Is it easy?

Still haven't changed the mileage back to what it should be lol

Depends if you enjoy playing with a soldering iron really, you have to desolder one 8pin DIL chip and then read the chips code, modify the code and reprogram the new code to the chip. The actual reprogramming bit is fairly simple with the right tools, but the tools cost a reasonable amount in the first place.

Yeah I can handle a soldering iron, however I don't have the tools needed

 

[vngtx]

can you clock it forward too?

Well if you can get the chip out from your old clocks, you can just solder that straight into the new ones without the need to do any rerogramming.

Yep

Thats what I tried when I got them, however I failed!

The chip managed to break! I have no idea how

 

[M1KEH]

Ohh, that sucks, Maybe you got it too hot when desoldering it.

 

[vngtx]

you know you have a mk2 when you drive a mk4 and think it feels cheap (dont know why a mk2 with a cardboard dash feels more expensive)

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Ohh, that sucks, Maybe you got it too hot when desoldering it.

I think thats what must have happened, really annoying when the chip is tiny and has 8 pins, heat one, melts, then second, the first dries up! How the hell did you do it!? lol

 

[M1KEH]

Solder sucker remove the solder from each pin as you go.

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Wow I'm so dumb. Why did I not think of this at the time

Also, yep they're sunk into the wing, they're alligned with the headlights, but sunk in... Maybe I'll try to get some facelift indicators? Or is the mounting the thing that actually changed? Or is it possible to adjust it?

It's a pity I spent so much time and money on the car, I'll probably end up getting nothing back for it when I sell it, or worse...

Nope, different shaped indicators if I remember correctly. I really wouldn't worry about it mate , just maintain it well, service regularly! Should run smoothly and provide miles of uninterrupted fun (till the clutch, cable, & gearbox go )

 

[M1KEH]

My Ibiza's only done 0 miles honest.

wow!

 

[LMJ]

Psst, where are your needles?

 

[Big-Pete]

wow!

how comes your dials are black!?

 

[TiggsGTI]

it's not a mk2?

 

[suj]

isn't it off an old mk2 gti 8v (140mph top speed, cannot see the revs ) lol

by old I mean pre-facelift gti

 

[M1KEH]

TDi clocks, No point putting the needles back on as I want to move stuff over to a set of gti clocks so I can get MFA. Just love the total 0 miles. I'm just to pikey to pay the prices people want for clocks and mfa stalks on ebay.

You know you have a mk2 when the radio works perfectly without an aerial base or aerial connected
