Mk5 Clocks For Mk4

[Musicfreek2002]

Is there a lot of work involved in changing Mk4 clocks for the MK5 ones with the blue dials and red needle?

Didn't someone do a bulb/LED conversion so they looked similar?

well. mk5 clocks, aint never going in a mk4. you'd need the dash, as there soo different, you wouldnt believe.

now, theres a guy on this forum called "col" and he did it, by swapping every led and swapping the needles from a different set. i've also looked into it, and really am not as confident as him, its a very very very very very very difficult and tricky task. one for an expert electronics whizz.

I saw a Mk4 just this weekend that had the GTI dials installed. Looked difficult. Also, it looked unfinished - the GTI dials have these seperate round clocks whereas the Mk4 is one complete unit. You'd need to fabricate a housing for the clocks or it would look a bit nasty. As it did, btw.

I have the MK5 clockd in my MK4, they are a tempory measure until I know whether MK4 golf dials will fit, then, if they do, I'm after some golf gti anni clocks!

Here's a pic, they look unfinished cos I haven't got round to making a surround for them....

Yeah that's how it looked, with the surround missing it looks unfinished.

Big respect for making them work though!

Let us know how you get on.

why are you thinking of changing?! did your mkiv ones break or something??!!!! they'll look the business with a new surround.
