Fitting Passat Cluster into T4 Housing.

Please plug in and test yur new cluster works before attempting this modification

On rear of each cluster there will be 2 x T10 Torx screws, undo these.

Simply push up the black clips around the face, with a little forward pressure to take the surround from the cluster. I

find it easier to start with the bottom clips

You will notice once the surrounds are off, the cluster faces are identical in size. – Notice the High Beam ‘Icon’ isn’t

on the Passat cluster face (between fuel gauge) – You have 2 main options here :

Option 1 : Pull the icon out of the rear of the Passat Cluster, file it down to fit flush.

Then Glue the icons in place.

Option 2: You can cut out and glue the icon from your existing Cluster:

Be aware of the red dot, this will show on your existing cluster, I simply coloured it in with a black sharpie,

Once back together will look something like this which look pretty good. Read on if you want to fit the silver rings.

To gain access to the silver rings on the Passat Cluster, simply use a flat blade screwdriver and place it in the gap and

twist, it should come out quite easily.

Push the silver rings from the back, not much force is needed.

The T4 Clear face simply unclips

The Silver rings are slightly larger than the T4 housing, but can be glues this way – I suggest taking a small amount off

the housing for a nicer finish.

The smaller rings need a bit of work to fit. Scribe the ring size and cut out the housing to make them fit.

There will be a small gap between the gauges, this isn’t noticeable once the clocks are set back in the van

Put Back in Van & test.

Pin Connection :

Undo the green clip from the cluster, slide out the purple sleeve and the white module will pull out the bottom. You

will see the self cutting pins. Place 3 new wires in pin 23,24 & 25 ( Grey in pic).

Stalk Pin 4 (Red) to Green Cluster Pin 23

Stalk Pin 3 (Black) to Green Cluster Pin 24

Stalk Pin 2 (White) to Green Cluster Pin 25

Stalk Pin 1 (Blue) to Ground

Ambient temp Sensor is Pin 26 on rear of cluster (Purple Wire in pic) – connect one site to this pin and the other to

ground. The purple wire can also be found going to a plug behind the fusebox, ( See image blow) you can connect to

the wire here if preferred.
