@Maynard Hudecek Good to hear

I need one of these, since my dashboard seems to activate the oil pressure alarm for no reason, but the guy who sells them, seems to missing from some time now, judging by the fact that the site is down and he didn't post on Facebook since last year.

@@Italjohn He fix it few hours after I bout the kit from the UK site. I contacted the guy 2 days ago and didn't bother to communicate much. Initially, when I told him the site is down, he told me it's fine and that he keep receiving orders, without bother to check. Later after, he fix it, but unfortunately to late. To bad, because i liked his kit more. But it's good to know we have options. Thank you !

[@rainerstahlberg2486]

thank you, John. Watching your clip, i bought same kit but for my 1984 Vanagon with analog clock instead of tachometer on the right side. Something was not right and Kai has sent me another module he made just for my Van. Excellent customer service. Go to his website, guys. The Kai guy is great!

[@nmartin5551]

Wow, your foil was in great shape to naked eye.

[@Italjohn]

Yes, no problem with my foil. I just got the kit for free to do this video 😀

[@christophergarrett2721]

Thank you, John. Sorry to bother you. You're a good fellow.

[@EI6ISB]

I've just ordered this kit ordered off Kai to replace my foil too, thanks for the video, I'm looking forward to the fix and thank you for the video for the confidence to do it! Is it still working ok?

[@Italjohn]

Yes, all good.

[@biryaniofbodyhair]

Cool! Looks neat, I saw these advertised on FB but wasn't too sure as I'd seen the other kits in the flesh which were really messy, this looks pretty sweet, thanks for the video:)

[@Italjohn]

Thanks for the comment 😀👍

[@dennisku3496]

Always love to see your video....Thanks I understand it is summer now and it is normal that you would have less video.

[@c7uk]

Hey man, long time since your last video - good to see you. I’ll have to watch this one in the morning 😊

[@Italjohn]

Yes I know, been a little slow on the videos this summer. But I'm about to start my summer holiday, and was hoping do I vanagon travel video of the trip.

[@c7uk]

Really like that clock! I replaced my stock item. Couple of years ago, but that looks nice enough to swap again! 😁 Enjoy you trip - I can’t wait to get out again

[@Gt-tp5zc]

[@Italjohn]

Hello John, I finally received my instrument cluster repair kit and I'm very disappointed that there are no instructions. In your video you were using some instructions with pictures. Is there any were I can get a copy of the instructions? Help!

[@Italjohn]

[@christophergarrett2721]

Hi John, when the foil was on the back of the cluster, there was a resistor that reduced the voltage to the temperature and fuel gauges down to 10 volts. The resistor was attached to the foil. When we remove the foil, there no longer is a resistor. Ho does that affect those gauges? Thanks

[@Italjohn]

It's all buildt in to the new circuit board.

[@christophergarrett2721]

That's what I was hoping you would say. Thank you

[@christophergarrett2721]

Hello John, it's me again. I'm having a very challenging time installing the clock. I'm only installing the clock, not the entire kit. The clock I received looks like yours, but I received 2 kinds of harnesses with different color wires and different connectors. I'm not replacing the LED lights harness, so there is no place to plug in the clock Do you know of any source that might help me with this? Thanks

Hello John. I realize this is an old thread, but need help and I'm hoping you will respond. I purchased the digital clock and it didn't come with any instructions on how to set it. Would you have this information? Thanks

Thanks for your super great video! I have 1992 VW euro camper with one problem temperature gauge needle not moving, can this kit solve this problem? Thanks a lot!

[@Italjohn]

Thanks for the comment, it will not fix your temperature gauge.

[@Buspilot3]

Hey My Clock goes out after 5 minutes. How can i change this? And how do I change it from 12 to 24 Hours? Thanks Dennis

[@Italjohn]

It goes out after 1 minutes, after you have turned off the ignition. I will have to check the manual regarding the 12/24 hour settings. It was something like this: Turn off the igniton, and wait until it goes out. Then hold down the right (or left) button and then turn on the ignition. Get back to you later.

[@Gpeck96]

How did you purchase? I do not see a “buy” button on their website, and the FB purchase link takes me to the same place. Awesome video, super helpful and informative.

[@aishayana4298]

Is this kit still available ?

[@Italjohn]

Yes, click the link in the description, and you should find it 😀

[@Skypager_TFTC]

John, just bought this cluster. Quick question, what that brass L bracket on the tachometer side? You took a screw out and later in your video the plate was gone. What’s it for, and won’t it be needed?

[@Italjohn]

If you mean the cooling plate for the transistor, that you don't need anymore.

[@Steve-jd1rr]

does this fit all models, or is this one specific to a Diesel, as the wiring loom connector will be different for a petrol model and different years had different wiring orders in the connector plug ??

[@Italjohn]

It's different for each model. You will have to specify before ordering.

[@Steve-jd1rr]

@@Italjohn ok thanks that's good to know, cheers

[@J.F.K.O]

that is a really nice kit. i have a question at 3.25 when you unscrew the temp gauge there is a resistor looking thing on it. do you have any idea why that would be there and what it is? i had the exact same om mine but i ofc. forgot how it was installed.

[@Italjohn]

The little green one is a capacitor. i'm not sure what it does, but usually it's a kind of noise filter.

[@J.F.K.O]

@@Italjohn yeah i found out what it was but not what it does :) but now that i've seen your video i at least kinda know how it's supposed to be fittet again.

[@macvanbus142]

Good job..mine is need replacing as well , where to buy the white rings on both meters?

[@Italjohn]

Look here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYjNp5uAiJKKp9U Link to the rings in the description. Press the little arrow in the right corner under the clip. Let me know if you can't find it, an I will post the link for you later.
