A trip to Horsham! 1.4 to 1.8T

We traveled to Horsham, Sussex to look at a Golf which started off as a 1.4. The owner fitted a 1.8T engine from an Audi and wanted to pair the immobiliser to the ECU and instrument cluster.

Most people disable the immobilier (also known as immobiliser defeat) in order to make their conversions easier however doing so will mean you car will have no engine immobiliser meaning it is less secure and more vulnerable. We of course did it the correct way – retaining the immobiliser

Another happy customer!

 

R32 FIS cluster upgrade

We met with a R32OC member who wanted to upgrade his standard half FIS clocks to full screen (FIS)

We supplied and fitted a set of custom hybrid Passat instrument cluster. What is trick about this modification is that the mileage and trip counter is reversed when compared to standard instrument clusters

The dials are still 180MPH (thanks to our custom EEPROM) however they have the added benefit of being FIS and have the sought after trip computer / mileage feature as found in later Passats. They have lit pointers and miles to empty enabled
