Instrument cluster, adaptation procedure when replacing



NOTE:
- To avoid mix-up and false entry, determine 14-digit identification number for the instrument cluster only by checking control module version using the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST). Then use identification number to ask the appropriate distributor or importer for the 4-digit secret number required for adaptation!
- If only the instrument cluster is being replaced, the secret number of the old instrument cluster must be used for adaptation. If all components are being replaced, use the secret number of the new instrument cluster.
- Every instrument cluster has its own secret number!
