VAG dash conversion

[whisp]

Does anyone know whether it is possible to change a VAG dash from KPH to MPH??

I've got the faceplate, but I can't just swap over as the new dial face is up to 180MPH and the dash is currently to 260 Km/H.

I think you need just coding by vcds instrument cluster

Hi Rafal - Thanks for the reply.

Isn't that just for the MFD display in the middle? I want to change the scale on the speedometer dial itself.

what car is it?

VW Scirocco 170BHP TDI

no coding does not account for the scaling on the plates

You need the correct faceplate from lockwood then change country code as above

Firstly thanks for everyone's input on this.

I've taken the pictures below of what I have.

My concerns are:

- 180mph full scale on the left dash is not that far from 300km/h on the right gauge (11km/h difference) - This is ok (never going to go that fast)
- 80mph dead top (12 o'clock position) on the left and 100km/h on the right (30km/h difference) - I think this is too much

The gauges match for 0, 20, 40, 60 - but then the km/h dash (right) jumps by 40, the mph dash keeps going in 20 increments, this suggests that if I simply swap the faceplates I will get incorrect readings

MPH KM/H
0 0
20 32
40 64
60 96

Will changing the coding fix this?

No, but you can easily change this in eeprom.
PM me with your eeprom and I will do the change for you.

Many thanks H2Deetoo...the dash isn't in the car at the moment is there an easy way to read the eeprom without installing it?

is there an easy way to read the eeprom without installing it?
find eeprom on the board and desolder or use eeprom CLIP + reader

[whisp]

Sorry for the delay in getting this...hopefully this is the right information.

H2Deetoo if you can fix this I'd be very grateful
