dashboard clock. - petersbiltkombi - 05-10-2024
I posted a question with my clock not working a while back , have found some one with V.W. experience who can sort it out and has quoted me between $400 and $600 to fix. which I find a bit on the steep side. I can live without a clock .But my question is this a sign of more problems to come ? if it is not sorted now, or is it just a not working clock . Because everything else seems ok. The van is a T3 1990 transporter with speedo on the left side and clock and fuel and temp gauge on the right side. he says that it is a fiddley sort of job which means why it is a bit expensive. any of the V.W. people who might have a thought please. regards petersbilt.

The guy is trying to rip you off. Should be able to find a replacement used. I had a clock not working and it was just a faulty power connection as the foil had gone bad. I just ran a hard wire to power and she started working again. I have a couple of Blue foils if you need one.

What Phil said ^^^.
More common to be a power supply issue, than an actual clock failure.
Either is possible, but worth checking the clock has failed first, before looking at getting a working clock “fixed”.

I had to do both the new power supply and earth as both were bad.
Very easy job.
