dashboard clock.

[petersbiltkombi]

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.
