Title: B4 Cluster in 2000+ EuroVan
Post by: jackjtr on September 19, 2017, 09:35:33 am
After freaking out about cluster wiring for a month or so, I decided to pull my B4 cluster and see if I could even fit it in my EuroVan, as everyone says they don't fit in 2000+ models.

Well, they do. I put it in the dash and the fastener holes lined up perfectly. I think the only modification would be to get an earlier cluster surround. I popped my surround on, and with the steering column cover, there is just a small gap at the bottom of the cluster. Not a huge deal.

The other thing to consider is keeping the interior lighting scheme consistent. The B4 has the "green" scheme while the MK4 has "blue/red". I personally prefer the look of the B4 cluster, so I'm sticking with it.

I hope this helps 2000+ owners!

Is the odometer information stored in the cluster or somewhere else?

It's stored in the instrument cluster.

I have my BHW passat cluster in right now, but some of the holes for the lights dont match up with the eurovan cutouts for the brights, etc. I think I'm going to try and get one from a euro transporter with mph on it and just use that. If it's never been coded you can advance the odometer once. I think with vagtacho there is a way to recode the odo as well. I have my bhw ecu tuned with the immobilizer turned off, I wanted to keep it originally but was having a no start problem so we turned it off.
