Cost effective RPM conversion
Just purchased a rev counter converter for my Mk2 VR swapped GTi, very reasonably priced and uses CAN hi/lo to retain my stock mk2 cluster but have the revs resting correctly. A neat solution and they sent me a link for the wiring which was great.
Can’t argue with the price to retain the stock set up and not have to try to butcher the dash to get R32 clocks in.
Many thanks

Thanks for your updated review. Sorry about the issues with the courier originally but I’m glad we could sort it out and get a replacement out for you.
This guy saved my bacon!
This guy saved my bacon a few times already. Not just by supplying the parts. To finish my car and finally get my 4x4 working again... But also with troubleshooting some other problems i was having.... If i could i would give him 11 stars!

Hi Matt, thanks for leaving a review and for your continued custom.
Lovely bit of kit!
I've got an engine swapped mk4 4motion and wanted to get the most out of the awd. I bought a Haldex controller and harness from the boys at Forbes Automotive and it does exactly what it says on the tin!
I previously have had some ECU mapping and IMMO Off in the past and was pleased with the customer service then, and am glad to say the service is still top notch today.
Adam helped point me in the right direction with the wiring I needed to do on my end, and then it was plug and play with the optional Harness I got with my Haldex Controller.
It turns the car into what an AWD vehicle should be!
Don't hesitate to check the website out as they're always innovating and improving with new products
