I've been a busy boy over the last few days
I bought a TDI DIS instrument cluster of @A2Steve a couple of week ago, and its been sat tawnting me since it arrived, well today was the day to get on with it.
I've been having a general read up as there are a few hurdles to jump through
The first thing was to make up a test rig so I could power the DIS cluster on the bench. I already have a bench rig made up for 'adjusting' ECU's, so this has been added too with the addition of the green and blue sockets from an old A2 wiring loom (thanks @Sarge ). Wiring was figured out with a bit of help from Google.
The cluster fired up with just a slight problem of 'FUSE' being displayed in the cluster miliage, a further bit of googling and a further +12v wire was connected and this removed the 'fuse' warning.
A few wires connected to ground and the warning messages are gone - all as per the cluster wiring diagrams
Next read out the SKC codes from the old and new clusters
Then VCDS to code the cluster to my A2, this all went well
Next adjust the kilometers of the DIS cluster to the same as the original cluster
power down the DIS cluster and power up again, bingo correct miliage
Power down and go trial fit it to the car
cluster power up fine, miliage is correct
Next code the keys to the DIS cluster, this all went well.
Start car - perfect
Made up the loom to connect the DIS stalk to the DIS cluster, up / down rocker and reset all operate the cluster as they should - result
Just ordered a replacement screen for the DIS display, soldering job when it arrives. Cluster is stripped down awaiting the display screen arriving
will report back when screen arrives and solder in place
Cheers,
Paul
