had this before and can't remember what sorted it, can't find my thread either cos it's too old

when turning ignition to second position, the needles all rise to maximum (fairly slowly) and stay there. then when starting the car they return slowly back to 0, then fire right up fast to maximum again. this causes the oil level and the speedo needles to hit eachother. the mileage is completely wrong, as is the trip meter

tried having battery off for a bit and also tried pulling the shunt fuse. am thinking it's just battery because i think this is similar behaviour to dead battery, although i've had that in the past but the clocks have always worked fine after it runs. not this time though

anything else worth trying before i chuck a new battery on it?

Also cleaning up some of the earths, fuse box connections might help.

put a new battery on, issue remains

took all earth cabling off and recrimped it, also inspected live looms and all ok

did a lot of messing but nothing fixed it

then, me being the hoarder i am, i stuck another set of clocks from a p3 gti6 into it, and they work perfect.. so i'm going with condensation or something inside the car (it hadn't been used for a week and it steams up inside when left) and it's probably done some damage to the clocks

aside from the faces of the dials saying different things, should i be able to scavenge the faces from my HDI clocks and put them on working gti6 clocks and they'll work?

failing that, i need some HDI clocks around the 160k mark!

If its just the clocks perhaps its just a dry joint (BOLLOXED SOLDER) on you original clocks perhaps just resolder the one you have hair drier the unit get the moisture out replace solder on suspected area ??? Maybe less hassle
