I called derek from chubs auto and he is building me a b4 cluster. .. he said there is a guy in Texas who can help make a MK4 cluster work in my 97 eurovan
Anyone know who this is??,
-
Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you using a B4 or MK4 cluster? I used a B4 cluster with MFA when I swapped in the TDI.
-
I'll use a b4 cluster til I figure out who can help me make this mk4 blue clock work and fit in my eurovan
-
This guy did one in his vanagon http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=517752&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Gotcha! I'm zero help with that. Sorry. :)
The B4 is pretty plug/play. I had to add a couple wires from the fusebox to the cluster plug to carry the signals from the sensors VW didn't include in the EV.

The Passat B4 cluster is pretty much plugnplay with the early T4a models (93-96 in NA). However the U.S. B4 clusters are all fully electronic, whereas the T4a models use a cable drive for the speedo/odo. This makes the B4 cluster the Provence for engine conversions that require this electronic VSS like a TDI. Although the fanatical (ie adventurous) could certainly install an electronic VSS on their trans, ditch the antiquated cable and utilize the electronic B4 speedo/odo and have a cool lil sleeper mod.
The later T4b models (97-03 in NA) have a redesigned dash and utilize the next generation cluster, very similar to an A4 Jetta but the T4 one has different mounting tabs so A4 fitment into a T4 would require some custom work.
Fitting a B4 cluster into a later T4b would not be easily possible due to the redesign of the dash and inherent space limitations. Also cluster wiring would be a minor nightmare as the plugs are different and all 22-28 wires that go from the fuse block to the cluster are all the same color: white.

Hey justin I have a 97 which is a t4b. Which mfa cluster do you recommend that would be the easiest for my application. I did install the electronic vss to accomodate my tdi swap
-
Post a pic of your stock cluster/dash so this can be verified, but I think either an A4 Jetta/Golf MFA cluster (not sure if the TDI models there in NA came with an MFA option, so u might be limitedor a T4 MFA cluster from a 97+ euro 2.5l TDI. These clusters can be adj via VCDS (instrument adaptation) for 4 or 5 cyl eng tach signal. These are very expensive btw, 400€+.

One of the projects I want to complete soon, already have an euro spec cluster, the stalk and wiring, just need to install it all...
-
I have purchased my mfa tdi cluster from derek aka chubs auto in il. It was a good deal and he preprogrammed it
I'm still awaiting my mfa wire harness and wiper stalk with mfa switch to begin the install.

So you are using a TDI cluster in a gas van? Or is yours a TDI also? Can you PM me his info in case mine needs to be reprogrammed...
Thanks.

I'm doing a afn motor swap
-
Have you finished up with the swap? How did it go? Did you use the ECU and instrument cluster from a donor A4 Golf or Jetta? I'm just getting started on the swap process for my 2003 EVWK and am looking for the right donor candidate.
-
Almost done.... Cluster from Derek... And ecu from donor afn car.. I think a Euro spec golf 96
...tapped out with just a thumb

Thanks for the quick response. Please share some details and photos when you finish up.
