So recently bought a JDM 6C polo and looks like somebody has slapped a MPH on a KMPH speedometer
Can I fit a second hand cluster?
Anybody in North West of England able to do it for me?

You can probably fit a second hand cluster but it is not a plug and play swap. You will have to have it adapted by a professional.

I have done this swap.
Take a look at this link

Of course you need a garage with online connection to apply the new (used Cluster) to the VW's servers and to remove the CP

Well went to a guy who said he will fix the cluster and didn't even have the knowledge on how to fix it
Anyways am definitely going with a replacement cluster as nobody here has the knowledge on eeprom to change the scale from kmph to mph
will I need a odis? Or can it be done using autel?
also which cluster should i go with? 6C0920940G?

I think the only safe option is online odis.

Well finally sorted out the cluster

Ended up getting 6C0920940A and a very kind gentlemen came and sorted out the coding. Correct speed output is now shown
No errors or faults in VCDS

Now I have a spare Speedometer and would love to play with EEPROM
Can anybody tell me by looking at the pic below where the main eeprom chip is located?
There is a 16 pin chip on top right corner with code 25Q064A so I feel thats where the eeprom chip

Top left microchip has the following number
A1040A
Does this sound right?

I'm expecting something like 24C... or 95C...
What about the other side of the board?

Nothing on the other side
There is a 16 pin microchip with label 25Q064A

Hm, perhaps it is in the MCU so no traditional chip
