but that clock panel was designed in the early 80s and it shows its age... you could get a nice lokin aftermarket panel with a clock on it

anyway the AWS stuff wouldn't work on it anyway (unless you went very trick and copied all that over from a sierra!) but then again, its not THAT usefull... lol

Jimbo!

the new mk4 will have a cossie enigne & managment gear box etc. etc.!

so i would like some hire speed clocks! also a rev counter that will work sstriaght with the cossie managemnt!

also ma temp sendor & fuel sendor that will plug straight up would be nice!

plus the mk4 dash aint really much newer than a saff!

plus if they will fit i will just use 3dr clocks which r kool & have a boost gauge in them! as this car will only have the stnadrd clocks & a secs monitor no other gauges!
