Ard Technik does them and is based in UK

Was really tempted with this, if I hadn't bought two spare DIS screens (that I still haven't fitted) :roll: .

Its really cool and the best part is you can have a boost gauge on the DIS (with some additional work which means running a single additional wire from the ECU to the cluster).

These Russians have really thought the colormfa out..

 

[katak]

Yes boost gauge is nice, I installed it yesterday... unfortunately I'm following only UK forum and wire is going through the glove box... on RHD !

I've a Colormfa on order with Ard Technik.

The wait is incredibly long!

I'm also considering one of these displays for my TT too. I've had a couple of emails from Ray at aRd Technik and it's £192 for the screen plus a further £218 for fitting. I'm just not sure I can justify that cost at the moment :?:

 

[katak]

Yes you can...

Install cost is ok, it's long and accurate job.

 

[ryanmtt]

Bearing in mind the price for a new cluster I think this is very reasonable 8)

 

[Pow3rL3ss]

ARD Technik did mine and over a year ago, still going strong

 

[norv675]

try the forum of colormfa.ru because I think it's still possible even if you don't have access to all the features... TBC !

Thanks, i will have a look...

Hey guys - just popping a quick refresher video for a really nice upgrade to our beloved Mk1's.

If you've not seen it before, let me introduce you to ColourMFA. If you have seen it before here's a look at the guts of it.

What's the cost involved in one of these?

As usual, my dash is pixelated and this looks like a better solution. Obviously the dashpod needs to come out, but I assume it can be done and retain mileage etc?

I take it the colour screen replicates the existing functions of the pixelated version?

Hi dimebars

Most cost effective option would be to do it DIY which requires lots of patience and soldering skills. Cost would be circa $200USD for the kit plus shipping.

As for the functions. Yes it can replicate the data that is on the original red screen... plus more. A LOT more.

i fitted one too, but sadly 90 % of the functions wont work as mine an apx, it wont even show basic warnings like washer fluid empty.

 

[silverbug]

What's the cost involved in one of these?

Approx £400 here in the UK, that includes the cost of the ColorMFA unit itself and then fitting (soldering it) into the dash.
I'm about to have mine done (in the next week or so) as have been on the waiting list since December.
I can't wait to see it in my car (it's a BAM so fully compatible); so many more functions over the ancient DIS display .

 

[dimebars]

Cheers all

So roughly double the cost of a regular cluster fix in the UK?

 

[katak]

Well it's less expensive if you have skills... it's the triple if you don't !

You should still have plenty of the in menu features working - mainly diagnostics as that is through K LINE in 8N.

I have had another client who hooked into their CAN wires which they found "sitting" unused in the wiring loom. It might be in yours too just not utilised. Otherwise the only other way would be an ECU upgrade and then to wire up CAN-bus.

I love the sound you make for your other computer screen :lol:

Very nice integration in your TT! Great work on doing the installation by yourself. It scares a lot of people but with patience and detail - it's very doable.

 

[katak]

I loved and still love McGyver, unfortunately my hand skills are a lot worst than his... So I decided to take all the time, to prepare all the tools and be quiet whil I did this; finally it worked, it's quite long but I can tell everyone it's not so hard.

Between ColorMFA & UTCOMP, I think I got like 20 hours totally.

The only missig parameter would be the AFR one but so far this is not a race car.

Enjoy your TT time

You can see fuelling in measuring blocks. Displayed as lambda but it's not so hard to translate once you know the fundamentals.
