Could you be more specific? Which parts from which car?

Are you sure it will work?

quite a while ago now, think the clocks i dismanteld were late passat or corrado.

was just putting 20vt and 6 spd (2wd) into mk2 for someone for beer and parts money. conversion of littel intrest to me so dint really take note of much

A friend from Norway use speedo from Golf mk3 VR6 on his Haldex/02M modded Rallye. He used the glass from a mk2 speedo and glued it in place.

but, nice find, but. stock looking is best imo

which one of the three is needed to fit the mk2 clocks ?

[yms]

I have MK5 R32 gearbox mounted on MK2 , but i want to use the original speedometer .
I want to ask :
Is this device really works ?
What kind of sensor i need to use to give signal to this device ?

email from cable x firm.

You would need the Cable-X-30HC-S. The “S” model requires you to send your speedometer cable/housing in to be modified to fit the Cable-X. The standard length is 36″ but since you will be sending yours in for modification, you can specify the length required to fit your application, depending on where you will be mounting the Cable-X.

cable-x is the solution for 02m swap on mk1 and mk2 so that the stock speedometer will work!!!!!

Hi,just a little technical support to all of you guys that put 02m gearbox and want to keep the stock instrument cluster(speedometer) on mk1 and mk2 golf.

since the 02m gearbox comes with hall effect speed sensor(digital)
and the speedometer on the instrument cluster drive by cable(mechanical)(on most mk2 and for sure on mk1),I tried to find a solution to this problem,since I wanted to keep the stock instrument cluster.
I did alot of research here and couldn’t find any good info until “CrewCabCaddy” a guy over here told me about cable-x
so first thanks to you

I bought this product from http://www.atrol.com/and I must say they have awesome technical support(thanks jerry).
don’t think that it was easy to install but after you understand how it works,it is very simple.
you have to do modifacation to the cable-x
you need to put a ressistor 10kohm 1/4 watt between the red wire and the white wire that comes on the cable-x

so this is how it works:
there are 3 wires that goes out from the 02m speed sensor
black/white:+
blue/white:signal
brown:ground

on cable-x:3 wires
red:+
white:signal
black:ground

you have to connect it like this:
1.you need to put a ressistor 10kohm 1/4 watt between the red wire and the white wire that comes on the cable-x as I wrote above
2.connect brown wire from sensor to black wire from cable-x and together to battery ground
3.connect blue/white from sensor to white from cable-x
4.connect black/white from sensor to +(after switch)
5.connect red from cable-x to +(after switch)
this is it
you must to do modifacation to the speedo cable in order to fitt it to the instrument cluster and the cable-x,but it is easy since the cable-x comes with it
this is the product:

To make the cable x we need to find the number of tooths on the dif and the ratio to set the inside simple switch to give out the proper calculations.

I bougth the cable x and i need these info to make mine work and i’m not sure where to find these. Can any one help out?

[Chris S]

Hi Dave, What is the code on the gearbox you are using? I can look up the teeth & ratios from this

[Dave20v]

Hi Chris , i’m using an 02m out of a audi tt 225, if you any body is using the cablex i would love to a have a chat with them

[Chris S]

I meant the actual gearbox code not the model code, it will be either DQB, FHB, FMN, followed by 5 or 6 numbers,
it should be stamped on the casing somewhere.

[Dave20v]

hi chris, i finaly had a chance to get to my tranny, here is the code on it:
02m 331 107 az91hp
