B5 A4/S4: How to Swap your cluster - EuroAutoForums
Man that is so simple! Thanks for the link! Will definitely save time and money. Seems like it would take less time to swap the EEPROMs between clusters than it would to package my spare cluster for shipping...

B5 A4/S4: How to Swap your cluster - EuroAutoForums
Looked into that over the weekend. The EEPROM for clusters in '98-99.5 (analog clock) are on the front side of the cluster circuit board. Looks like Audi used some goop to hold the EEPROM chip in place... Let's just say I'd rather spend $40 to have the mileage reset than try to swap the EEPROM chip between 2 clusters.

Replaced my worn out OEM outer tie rod ends with the heavy duty tie rod ends from Meyle. Steering is nice and tight again.

Same year of cluster. I have no doubt that swapping the EEPROMS would work, I just don't want to take the risk of screwing one of them up during the desoldering process.

had a B5 S4 pull up behind me at the pump when I was filling up today. We chatted briefly. I realized he loved the car, but wasn't really a true enthusiast. It wasn't for sale, unfortunately.
