Clocks ! An Odd Request, But Seriously Genuine

I have a MK4 cabriolet and any body who has read my previous posts will know I have been having problems with my dash/dials. I want to reset my dials...

 

Can somebody email me a photo of their dials (or describe) exactly where the needles are with no ignition & with ignition on

 

e.g. with ignition off my petrol guage stays at the current petrol level but my temp gauge falls so low it rests on the outer edge of the clock...well off the gauge. I want to know if this is normal.

 

Also my petrol gauge, as I drive moves all over the place so it would be hard to judge how much petrol is actually in the car.

 

If this isnt normal I will buy a new set of dials

 

Cheers!

Many Thanks!

You're petrol is OK ...temp may have fault .

 

 

my temp guage went tit-sup when i fitted a white dial kit...I didnt locate it back to the same position as it was previously

 

i must have tried 5 times taking clocks out moving it putting back in etc ...I gave up in the end .went on ebay and got

 

another set of clocks.Problem fixed now ...

Well mate,I fitted white dials too and my temp gauge sits well low when ignition off but it`s fine when car is running.

 

As for the fuel,mine is the same.Best to fill tank fully and take clock out and set to full,unless it`s already sat there when you turn key again.

 

They`re a pain mate but we can`t help fiddling eh?lol
