Guys i need your help please.

I was using Tacho Pro to try and reprogram 24c08 and i think i might've messed up the cluster..

I kept getting 'general error by reading' couldn't connect to the chip via clip, in the process of trial and error i kept plugging and unplugging the cluster and the last time i plugged it in only 3 lights came on 'ABS' 'EPC' 'AIRBAG'. Car now wont stay on past 2 seconds. and the cluster is completely dead besides those 3 lights. (last time i plugged it in i didn't hear the needle resetting that's when i knew something was up)

Tried disconnecting battery, no faults reported via OBD. All fuses seem good.

I think i might've corrupted the chip, but i did save the original data, < but i used the 93c eeprom board which was not the correct one so i don't know if it saved the data correctly.

I know this is very noob of me, guys you have an input ?

^^thanks for the reply!

I was trying to adjust mileage, im not getting a DEF error, i think i fried the cluster. Anyways if i get a virginized cluster will i need vagcom to adjust mileage? will it have to be set to the old mileage or can it be whatever i want ?

hi i cam still pull the old skc from the ecu right even with a dead cluster ?

So i just got a used cluster off ebay for $50, i dont know if its virginized but mileage reads 0 and SAFE right under. Car still wont stay on (stalls a few seconds after starting).

What should i do next? i dont have VAGCOM.

I dont have any of those, just cheapo tacho pro.

Can i saulder my old eeprom to the new cluster?


If anyone here is in the so cal area and can help me out ill pay you
