Calibrate dials - mk2 octavia VRS FL

Featured Replies

Wonder if any one can offer any assistance.

The led on my speedo dial went out wich was a little annoying.

So had a quick look about and thought well its easy enought to do.

So quickly wipped out the unit stripped it down replaced the white LED's put it back in the car.

And the dials are out of alignment... argh!

Maybe a little silly on my part assuming they would re calibrate when you put the ingition on (swing back and forth)

Is there any way that I can do a calibration on them :-(

Had a look about but cant find anything on this issue..

Easiest way I've found, with the front of the cluster removed:

- put the needle on very lightly

- use the output test in VCDS (moves to max, min, then stays at half way

- move the needle to the half way point

- rerun the output test to make sure it's correct

- push the needle on firmly

 

Repeat for the other 3 needles and put the front back on :)

Oh ok cool.. i guess ill have to buy vcds :-/

I have an old Chinese cable from a few years ago but not sure if ill be able to run that test with it.

Do you know what options I need to select to run that test.

Guess I should have paid more attention when replacing the led's

I did put the needles back to the positions they were in but guess i moved them a bit to much when I took them off.

Thank you for the advice though much appticiated!!
