Default Facelift TACHO in pre-facelift model

Hey guys,

Will I be able to buy a Facelift TACHO and put it in my pre-facelift model from 1994? I would really like to get rid of the 12 small squares beneath the info screen and get the one where it's one small screen if possible. I kinda know I would need VAGCOM to adjust KM but will I get problems with the immobilizer? If so, can it be fixed?

Best regards
Peter

No, the wiring and electronics of the PF and Facelift are very different.

The pre facelift has a separate immobiliser, and the Facelift has the immobiliser built in to the instrument cluster is just one thing, there is a lot more besides.

You cannot convert the pre facelift system to facelift, by far the easiest way to achieve your goal is replace the car with a 2000+ model.
