Hi, i swapped my vdo cluster 8l0919880L with a 8l0919880a on my Audi A3L .18 Turbo Quattro of 1999, because of FIS broken.
I disabled immo on ecu ("new" cluster is immo1 , the "old" immo2 , so i must buy new keys and was easier to disable immo) and all is ALMOST working good.
I say ALMOST because the cluster show a wrong speed and i suppose also wrong distance traveled.
Is showing about
10-15% LESS than real speed. So at 100 km/h it show in analog instrument about 90.
The speed in air conditioner display (using the tricky code to activate displaing to channel 17) is RIGHT, so at 100km/h it show 100 !
The problem seems only in analog instrument.
I don't like this, i was trying to find the way to change editing the dump the scale of that instrument but no lucky.
So i ask help AND put a small reward : to the one that can help me i'll send
10 EURO as paypal gift.
Just to have maybe more interest, not much money but just a two beers, better than nothing...
Another small question is that with my original cluster the illumination of air conditioner display was changing at light, becoming stronger. Now seems fixed at low level, at sun very difficult to see number (and it becomes stong activating code trick, so is not a problem of display itself)
I attach the eeprom dump of course...
Thanks to all !
