Mk7 330 Swb Dayvan/camper project

No, the cruise doesn't work. I didn't expect it to really. Think I need the upgraded clocks for that ? Trying to avoid looking into that too much for the minute. I have plenty of other jobs to be getting on with for now ! Yeah I went to transaxle services.... Really pleased with the ratio change. Though it is whining a bit so I'll have to pop back and see what they think. Was your service history more parking tickets than anything else as well ? lol.

I have the upgraded clocks now, so I'm hoping it will work when my wheel arrives this week.
Word of warning though, if you get the upgraded clocks the 2010 ones have a software glitch that makes all of the trip/ave mpg/ave mph/etc re-set itself after a day or so I'm currently trying to get the software upgrade which fixes it

Yeah, my diff whines a bit, which is disappointing, but it's a long way back up to Halifax to get it looked. Will be interested to hear how you get on with them.

Yeah my history had reams of parking tickets too

How much would I expect to pay for the clocks ?

Mine was £70 inc postage, plus you need the upgraded indicator stalk with the menu wheel and re-set/set button. I got a Connect one as they are the same, and it cost me about £30 inc postage. Both from Fleabay of course. The dash looks slightly different as it does not have the 2 buttons in the middle bottom for re-setting trip and clock, as that is done using the stalk. The dashes are quite rare though, loads of ones like the one you already have, most costing around £300

[alz4321]

Ahh, ok. £80 inc postage I just paid isn't too bad then... Turning into an expensive day off. I'd sussed that the obvious difference was the 2 buttons missing. Keep my eyes open for a stalk now I suppose.

I'm only in the mk6 for now and will have to give the guys at Conrad Anderson a call when I get to that stage...lol

[alz4321]

Due to some pretty swift eBay postage I have my clocks and stalk fitted. Pretty pleased to have 22k on my van now lol. That can be set right easy enough though I think... Cruise doesn't work, not too shocked about that tbh. Speedo is accurate reading 1mph over at 40mph.

[Tango330]

looking good Mate, yeah I was pleased to have only 30K on mine but am getting it fixed soon

CC can be fixed if you know a man that can

to get cruise you would need to get the BCM programmed, to do that you need a vin from a van with the same engine etc as yours but with cruise

Martyn will know more about it all,

Conrad anderson can do a kit that uses the factory buttons

I can just switch on cruise and other toys now , and correct mileage if a used set of clocks are fitted - no need to force in another vans software into your vans modules resulting in corrupted VIN etc

[alz4321]

I was thinking of posting you my ecu for a remap but I'm assuming you'd need to see the van to sort the c/c out ?

[martynx]

Right now I need the whole van to enable cruise yes but I'm building a rig that should allow me to program all other modules like body control modules and instrument clusters off van so to speak. So activating cruise by post is in the master plan but It's all just spaghetti though right now !!!

Looks like your doing everything i want to do to mine, I've just run out of money to do the inside and it's to useful as a van at the minute.

I got mine from MVS. Do you live in Sheffield. Looks good btw, keep up the good work.

I'm in Aberystwyth in mid Wales so it was a bit of a trek to Sheffield but they seemed to prep them better than other places so it was worth it. I'd thought of putting a sport kit on like yours but I can't justify the money at the moment. I'm intending to make everything removable in the back so I can still use it as a van if I need to.

[Big Ben 83]

You've traveled far for that then. Yeah I went and picked my van then they did all the work on it, full test and a full respray before i picked it up. It was like new.

I use mine for when we go racing and it seems to always be full of wheels and tools. Don't really want any of that when i've done the back out.

I want to put single seats in like you have but on swivel's on and i've got some nice leather seats to go in. I just want to get windows in first before i can bored it out and i don't have the money for it at the minute.

[Webby1989]

What kind of changes have you seen in mpg after the diff ratio change?
