View Full Version : 1.8 vs. 2.8 Instrument Cluster? (long) Josh 12-07-1998, 02:21 PM mywheels 12-07-1998, 07:16 PM I understand that the delay for delivering the product to market was to ensure a high quality product. My apologies to Tony and PES if it sounded like I was questioning the delay. I was just commenting on how the later release no longer fit with my own particular schedule and that I could put this cash to use on other things until I am ready to do the install. Logan 01-13-1999, 12:03 AM (Please excuse me in advance for my ingnorance but...)<br>I've just returned from the dealer yesterday to have my instrument cluster "re-coded," (I originally went to the service department complaining of a high reving engine -- on full throttle from a dead stop, the needle on the tachometer would exceed redline and go all the way up to 8000 rpm) apparently the factory settings were for a four cylinder engine, and not the six cylinder found in my '98 2.8 A4Q!!! I was wondering if this had any detrimental effects on the car...I had been driving with this "problem" for the last year and a half and the dealer had initially told me that it was normal, the first time I had brought it to their attention. Had I just been benignly driving my 2.8 at 1.8 performance levels? Or was I damaging my car by driving under those settings? If there are any problems, what recourse do I have? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.<p>Sincerely,<br>Logan <br>Silver '98 A4 2.8 (posing as a 1.8)Qtip |
