• I'm looking for an early rabbit/scirocco cluster with tachometer.  Should look like this:
  
  
  
  I'd actually prefer a gas tach, but w-terminal diesel tach is ok too (if they had them back then).  Let me know cost shipped to 86001.

• ive never seen an early diesel rabbit with a tach.. pretty sure they didnt exist. ive never even heard people talking about them..
  
  too bad you didnt need it last week tho, there was a NICE cluster in a 78 rabbit, something like 42k miles on it, with a tach.. i almost pulled it anyways, even tho i didnt need it, but i didnt..

• w terminal started in 82 w shift light and dynamic oil pressure.. so i really doubt one was made... but same token years ago myke_w had a westy diesel tach cluster that was factory.. part # and all.. but did not exist to look it up.. 0 miles.. 5k red line.. not a "made up one" from a gasser..

• yep... he got it nib too... think he sold it after i saw it...
  
  my custom mk1 jetta one is my fav though.. mk2 tach, 80-81 pcb, boost gauge built in.. cannot use later ones as shift light in the way.. need temp/gas in those middle places for boost to be under tach..

• Dang thought there was one on CL but is for the 81 Caddy.  Square block not the rounds.  Kind of steep in price at 200 bucks.  Might be a tad crazy priced.

  $200 for a mk1 VW gauge cluster is INSANE..
  
  $50 is even on the high side IMHO..

• Yeah the price of 40 is more what I consider reasonable.  I wonder if he'd take it.  The listing has been going for months now.

• Yeah, I didn't think there were diesel tach early style clusters. 
  
  Anyway...  Anyone got an early gasser tach cluster?

• I probably have a bunch of parts and pieces but I would guess all my bezel pieces are damaged by now. Do you just need parts or whole thing?
• #10 by libbydiesel on 27 May, 2012 10:01
• I'm really just looking for the tach, fuel and water temp gauges and the foil.  It looks like I found one from another seller.  I'll let you know if it falls through.

• If its not too late to say, that I've got 5 or 6 of those clusters in varying conditions. If everyone fails to provide one, I'd get you one for trade ?
