The hex was pretty much rounded, inner shaft looked worn. Did not take pic sorry.
Luckily no underlying damage to top of engine or turbo.

Re: Instrument Cluster / Clocks Swap + MFSW Retrofit

Radio and clocks are using newer communication systems and 8 button wheel is the older type so they can’t communicate properly. 12 button would be a better idea.

Re: Instrument Cluster / Clocks Swap + MFSW Retrofit

I’ve picked up cluster with all bits, steering wheel, bag, module and an rns315. Going to install tomorrow hopefully.

I have factory front and rear sensors, will the 315 display ops or do I have to code?

Also will the cluster display navigation instructions or do I have code this?

Re: Instrument Cluster / Clocks Swap + MFSW Retrofit

Straight swap but mileage requires special tools if the mileage is above 100 kilometres (if it is below it can be done with vcds). So you will have to find someone doing the mileage correction or use it as is. Another option is to buy a cluster with 0 miles - I know VWLEDS on facebook has some avai...

Re: Handbrake stuck on

You can try and hold the EPB button down for 10 seconds and see if it resets, if not then the motor is done. In which case you will need to remove the motor on the back of the caliper which is stuck and push back the piston slightly
