Wow! This is the first time I've seen the thread; I hope I'm not too late.

I've got the MFA in my old 16V Jetta and it is kinda handy. I'd love to be able to get the same functions in my new baby. Will it work in my early build car (09/98)?

Joe, If you have any one that is interested in one of the 'old style' MFA clusters, I still have the last one that you sold me that I would like to get some $$$ back from. Its the kind with LCD and not the red LEDs. It will not work in my car.
If you have someone interested in it, please point them my way! I would like to recover some of my $$$ in this upgrade attempt..

Thanks.. Drive ON!

Heres what it looks like... and remember you can adjust the Odometer to read what you want it has not been driven over 60 miles.. which this one has not been..

Oh Komet you big tease, you keep reminding me how much I want this upgrade, any chance you are coming out to the TDI fest? I'd gladly pay you (and hand you tools) to upgrade me in Mich.

What's the current price? I'm waiting to sell one of my other cars, and hopefully that will be soon.

Anyone want to buy a mint condition (really) 93 Ford Taurus with a 3.0v-6 and a new transmission? Runs perfectly, engine is mint. $4500, negotiable.

What is the going price, and do you have electronic directions so I can see how difficult this install will be on a Jetta Wagon TDI?

Komet155,

Are these still availble? I want one too! Let me know where to send the money to (paypal I hope).

Let me know if you have the associated parts to work this as well and if you sell this as a full kit.

Thanks

KOMET, I'm interested too, if you can get a unit for the B4. The specific part number is 3A0 919 881 N(X)/(V). Can you please e-mail me and let me know if you can get this part, as well as the price, as I know this will be different than the price for the A4 clusters. Thanks.

Komet155,

I just paypal'ed you the full amount of $616 dollars that includes the shipping costs to my door.

Too bad the Group Buy deal is no longer on as your costs have risen. It what I get for waiting so long on this mod. However, now I can stop drooling.

Thanks for all the help in getting all the components together for me. I look forward to receiving the cluster, the wiring kit, the wiper stalk, and the detailed instructions for this incredible modification.

You are awesome!!

Thanks

Is there anyway that you can keep your current dashboard layout and just change the center section, where all the MFI/A readouts would be?

Has anyone ever looked into this? If so, I would be very interested in it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm sure you know this already, but just in case...

If this is a Euro TDI cluster it should work fine since you are in Canada (you are, right?), but measurement units are not re-programmable for a US application.

If this cluster is available and you successfully install one, could you please email me...I'm updating the B4 MFA conversion article and want to mention this option for Canadian owners.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, you are right, Chris, I'm from
. I'll be sure to keep you posted. One way or another, I intend to get one of these clusters, if it means my having to pick one up during my next trip to Germany


Any word on this, Komet?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks, I just got it last evening. Unfortunately I'm only able to check that e-mail account infrequently, and I was lucky to get yours in the nick of time.

The core change makes the cost very prohibitive. Sorry, but I'll have to take my chances on finding one at a salvage yard next time I'm in Germany.

...i agree. if you at least can get your hands on a very cheap used one as a core, then it would/could be worth your while....

you might want to look around on german ebay.

another good site for salvage parts is www.renet.de

its a german salvage yard search engine.
