Talking Sun-burned cluster replaced with a non-turbo cluster......

I know this may not working since I didnt find a turbo cluster locally, and I replaced a 04 Carrera cluster, everything is working fine and there is seat belt beep which I never have before......But then I found there is none turbo "Bar" to select to show , there is nothing I can do right?

Probably not. If you are interested in a Turbo cluster, I have my stock one with black dials available. Works perfectly, I replaced it with an OEM white dial one. Willing to let it go for pretty cheap. Hit me up if you're interested.

Why didn't you get a Turbo cluster? They should be available used.

My thought was, it is from the DME to enable the turbo gauge, but it is not lol

Ask someone with Durametric Pro to try to enable boost gauge. It might be possible, at least the selection to click is there.

Bigger problem is that you are not able to check oil level and your fuel gauge is off.

Lol fuel gauge off? If yes I should swap it back to the turbo cluster. Let me try to compare it with the Durametric and the Cobb fuel level tomorrow.

Well, if the cluster us from a C4, then the fuel fauge just needs calibration (with PIWIS) to be reliable. If it's from a C2, then it'll be off the scale. turbo and C4 have saddle shaped tank and fuel level metering below 20something liters is based on Motronic's calculation. C2 has a flat bottom tank and fuel gauge correlates directly to fuel level in tank.

Looks like a c2 Lol
Seems I should plug its lcd and swap to my original cluster is the right way for now...

Updates, my Durametric has the option to enable the boost gauge too but not succeed

btw



the cluster is from a 04 C4, so the fuel gauge is fine at the moment...

Does that mean I can disable stuff like "Nav" from the cluster?? That would be awesome

I removed the factory Nav from my car and there is nothing about Nav in my cluster. It may be as simple as disconnecting it.

I removed mine also. But in the same center lower toggle screen with the boost gauge, I have a nav menu as an option. It shows "NAV --" or something like that. I'd love to disable that and not even show it as on the menu
