Installing an AHU diesel in a 1991 Mk2 Jetta.
I have both Mk2 gas and Mk3 diesel instrument clusters. Would rather use the Mk2 cluster 1) to avoid extensive mods to the cluster bezel & instrument panel; and 2) the Mk2 cluster has the MFA feature.
However, the Mk2 gas cluster lacks a glow plug lamp and needs a signal from the Mk3 alternator to activate the tachometer. (It has a tach from a diesel model.) I could probably install a LED from a diesel Mk2 cluster to get the glow plug lamp.
Does the Mk3 alternator provide a signal compatible with the Mk2 diesel tachometer?
