AHU to AAZ cluster
« on: March 16, 2012, 12:50:12 pm »
So I found an instrument cluster on ebay for a 99 tdi. Looks identical to the one in my 96 IDI. Will a AHU engine cluster maych up to a Canadian AAZ ?

nope, not even a little bit..

the tachs read from different sources..

the lights and other gauges will work, but the tach will freak out..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

Pretty sure RoR is exactly right on that.
The AHU is a fully electronic TDI with ECU, etc...

If you make a listing in the For Sale / Wanted section - you'll get some better exposure and more than likely have some options pretty quickly from the Canadian members. They had AAZ option from 93-97.

good luck

if you install a TDI tach in an IDI car, it will read about 4000 at idle, and then bounce all over the place when revved, IIRC..
