Re: fuel gauge not working
If it's only those two things it would have to be the voltage stabilizer in the cluster. I don't know what's involved in swapping it.

Re: fuel gauge not working
sounds l;ike the dash will have to come out, and you will need to repair the cluster ground, and possible replace the voltage stabilizer...The tach and gas gauge are controlled by both as well as the water temp gauge.weeees5 wrote:Im in the process of buying this car.

It isn't hard or expensive... just time consuming.

Voltage stabilizers are from mouser electronics order 4 or 5 as the shipping is about 7-8 bucks yep .64 each.... or you can order one from VW or Autohaus @ 33.00 each.
