Are you sure you are doing that right?  Not to brag, but I can do it under
5 minutes.  I often get rabbit intrument clusters for parts (gears, lights,
etc) at salvage yards.  Thats with out breaking or tearing anything in
the process since broken parts are no good to me.  I get these parts when I can
since they will also fit the other vws in the fleet.


BTW, thoses bulbs that go in the instrument cluster are the same ones used in
Volvos.
