Absolutely fascinating Dom/Sean. Shades of clock repairers of old. It's like watching a craftsman at work.
Nice one Dom! A little bird told me this was upcoming. What a great insight into the cluster. Fabulous explanation from Sean!
Great video Dom. Really interesting to see this work to be done.
Superb video....great to watch an expert at work!! Thanks to you and Sean!!!
Excellent video Dom, I had this done to my cluster last year, so it was really good to see how that was done, and also the work that goes into it. it makes such a difference to be able to read the middle screen hahahahahahahaha
great vid Dom this is on the list to do I think Sean is the man for the job
Chris at least you know who to send it too
👌
Belle vidéo 👌. Un sacré travail 👍😉
Excellent video! Very clearly explained Sean, thank you. 😎🤟🏻
Glad it was helpful!
amazin!! jus what I was looking for!
when the dash turned on and started beeping, it gave me PTSD hahah
gets your heart going doesn't it
Patryk Rosinski has left the forum 😂
Nope I haven’t 😁 just moved the house so was quite busy 😉 Someone sent me a link to this video and I’ll probably contact Sean with some advices before he gets into real troubles 😉
Another excellent video. Full of interest. How nice to see stuff fixed rather than thrown away. This is what worries me with cars becoming more digital and less analogue. The only thing wrong with my TT is the LCD display which misses some pixels at times. Imagine the owner of a modern car 15 years down the line with a dead screen on the dashboard rendering it unusable. Oh, I forgot to say the driver's heated seat doesn't work either. Another electrical bit.
16:56 "OMG Look at that! You can read the word!" That had me cracking up because I know exactly how you feel!
such simple things can be so satisfying
I was mesmerised by this. Need to get ours fixed
A lot more work goes into it that you think without seeing the process for sure
Nice! Luckily new newer one already had the cluster sorted - funny how so many of them go bad. Great video 👍🏻
Nice one bro keep this going man you are a legend!!! Bigtime respect
Thanks fella 😎😘
Great video! I am always amazed by the British car shows such as Wheeler Dealers and your vids. There is always someone who can fix/repair those little bits. Dash gauges, turbos, wheels, injectors.....it seems like you can always find a repair. Here in the states you just need to replace it. Nobody can do anything anymore! It fascinating to watch this guy work on the repair, his knowledge just blows me away!
Thank you for the kind words, we are lucky that we still have plenty of engineers and people willing to work with old equipment and breathe life back into it, although I must admit it is a dying trade. Sean is a master of electronics that's for sure
Hey Sean - great video. Good luck with everything, I think your experience with acquisition controllers etc is perfect for what you are doing now. All the best.
Cheers Chris!
Brilliant subject choice 👌👀👍
Thanks buddy 👌🏻
Super interesting
Repaired two clusters myself….real fiddly job, especially soldering the centre lcd…
Want mine doing now! 😁
Amazing video Dom seeing the master at work hope ya enjoying it sean AKA mr spoons 🤣👏👏👏
Only the best tools Jules 🙂
It makes sense now, I thought it was odd when you said you won’t believe what he can do with a pair of spoons 😂
Usefull video dom theres a lot to do with the cluster repair not for the faint hearted lol
Excellent and careful repair and Sean's a top bloke. However, in the end it seems that the display suffers from what most repair displays suffer, ie its too bright on the outside of letters (compare brightness with the two small displays left and right)... The original DIS display has the same brightness. Some people fix this with some smoked adhesive on the replacement display.. unfortunately the original display with the blue ribbon is NLA
Nice, the other deffo needs this..
Already booked in 😂
I just got my screen from aliexpress for a fiver. Will try to change it myself. All other functions tested with diagnostic equipment.
Fingers crossed it is good quality, as the last thing you want to do is fix something and it break shortly after, good luck with the swap over, let me know how you get on
One of the many jobs required on the merlin now it's on the road.
You guys are amazing
Thanks ninja ❤❤❤❤
Yet again another fascinating video, a master tech makes it look so simple. How much did it cost to have the cluster refurbished.😎
£110 (when collected in person). £119 when we ship it back. We encourage TT owners to get in touch first so we can help verify that anything other than a bad LCD is actually a cluster fault vs a fault elsewhere.
@The Parrott Bro’s Do you have stepper motor speedo reference? I need to replace mine 🥲
Help with my cluster!! It went, sent it to a specialist, who repaired, reprogrammed. Worked fine for 3 weeks, then same thing happened. But with a difference. The side light light on the dadh was perm on. Sent it back, they cant find a fault. Re connected and it worked. Went to pick up the car, and it went again. Does it need a new cluster?
Thanks for doing this video. I need mine done sometime in the future and have been putting it off. Are there software upgrades that need to be done or could be done when changing out the screen?
Shouldn't need any software updates buddy
Excellent vid, as usual. I've been looking into getting my MFD replaced. Did you happen to record taking the cluster out or the vehicle (and refitting it!)? Is it easy to do?
Thanks buddy, please see this video it explains it perfectly

Hi bud. Just out of interest. As you know my lcd needs doin. I actually got my lcd from ak with that intention of having a go myself. But seeing the care and attention Sean puts into it. Would you mind saying how much that was to do?
£119 including return shipping or £110 if collected in person.
Donde lo puedo llevar para que arreglen el mio😢
Hey Dom, glad you're feeling better. Can you post a link for this fella? My car is the same with screen fail
Hey buddy, thanks yeah im on the mend, all his details are on the video description, its www.motivelectronics.com :)
@@TheParrottBros Top man, cheers
So i replaced the cluster on my 2002 audi tt from another car and rpm gauge doesn't work . It's a rebuilt unit contacted seller and reason is the cluster needs to be programmed to the car. Anybody know if this is correct ?
Do you know how he ran that vcds test?
Also is there a way to turn on needle sweep on a mk1?
Also do you know how much he charger for a screen replacement?
Yeah he explained on the video what you need to do on vcds to do what was done. Sweep wise I’m not sure I’m afraid as never tried
@@TheParrottBros thanks for the reply il rewatch that bit :)
Serious Question: Can your speedometer fluctuate in a Mk1 TT. E.g read inaccurate (not wheel size related).
My car seems to read faster now, going from zero to 80kph, than a year ago.
Hey, how much of a difference are you seeing?
@@TheParrottBros
LoL here I am, a year latter answering this feedback.
Do you know what I think the difference in speed from 0-80km/h was in the end!!
The hand brake was only just two clicks, when I first got the car.
Plus the rear pads were coating the rims in brake dust.
I just thought they were different (dusty)pads to the front.
Those same pads have stopped caking the rims in dust...
LOL, the increase in acceleration is more than likely due to the pads wearing down.
: )
The rpm and temp gauge of my cluster isn't working anymore. I changed both motors but it still not working. Do you have any clue of the problem?
Best speak to Sean at Motivelectronics. His details are in the video description
Re the fuel guage.
I listened intently but I still missed the part about the fuel guage needle.
So.
My 2000 model reads ½ when its actually empty. The low fuel warnings all work correctly as if it is on empty and reserve
Can I just adjust the needle position by removing and replacing it to the correct position?
Sorry.. but I'm a little hearing impaired and some things I just don't hear correctly.
Thanks again.

Hey buddy, yeah its a case of lining up the needle correctly with the start and finish / resting points, it may be a little trial and error unless you can find some pics online of tt clocks in the turned off position for reference
@@TheParrottBros thanks Dom. Legend mate. ✔️
My next challenge is how to fit the rear wind shield drive belt, now that is going to hurt the arthritis for sure.

My Mk1 TT screen has no missing pixels, so is it possible it hasn’t been replaced?
I’m in Australia.
It could have been replaced or the lack of cold weather may not have aged it so much
I’m from mexico, do you know anybody who can give me help for repair my cluster?
The lights no work and the screen neither
Great video, just pump up the audio, your videos tend to be very very soft
Do you have the contact details for Motive Electronics?
Www.Motivelectronics.com all details are In the video description
Will this cause me to have to reprogram my key in order for my car to turn on again?
You should not have to, no. the keys are linked to the CCM ( interior ecu )
Thank you for your quick reply. I enjoy your channel. Had educated me a lot. How would I be able to calibrate or in other words make sure that the temp and fuel needles will line up correctly. I do not have a set up like that on a bench. I am just a diy kind of guy from my driveway. Trying to keep my 04 3.2v6 running as nostalgic as possible.
Can someone tell me how to get in touch with the guy in this video please . I need my instrument cluster fixing on my mk1 tt
Thanks
Hey, the website for Sean is in the video description. Its Motivelectronics

Hello, how can the needle sweep get activated?
I'm not 100% sure if it can be programmed in or not, I just know you can do it when testing the unit
Could you share how the needle sweep is done when testing the unit?@@TheParrottBros
Is this guy still doing this? What was the cost
head over to www.motivelectronics.com/
What price is the full job
For the work shown in the video, £119 inc return shipping within the UK (also ship international, rates vary). Turnaround usually 2 business days but can turnaround same day if pre-booked.
@@seanb9814 any idea on postage back to Ireland
@@seanb9814 Hi Sean, fantastic work. For TT's that have a parastic battery drain that is isolated to fuse 15 (instrument cluster) how is this tested / repaired? My dash display I would say is about 85% good (few missing lines) and the Fuel gauge is slow to show its value when filled up at the pump, speed +revs and temp all fine. All forum research I have come across point more to the processor being the cause of battery drain related to the dashpod? Is this the case in your experience, repairable?
Do you really have a TT if you didnt repair the cluster xD
