RE: MFA computer retrofit...

<x-charset iso-8859-1>The MFA swap is NOT plug and play

You need the wiper washer/MFA stalk and all assorted wires.  Plus, the
correct connectors for the back of the cluster because the Roc is different
from the Jetta is Different from the GTI.  I have all the diagrams if you
need them though.

Most of the MFA clusters do not have the 8K tach and it is a serious bitch
to retrofit the 16V 8K tach into the 7K MFA cluster...I just did it and it
required drilling to special little holes in the tach faceplate to mount it.

You can just plug in your speedo, however, you will have to carefully break
the plastic tab off the back to expose the speed sensor and holes for the
screws.

Good luck and feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
