You can adjust the clock on a Volkswagen Golf by first turning on the instrument cluster, inserting the ignition key into the corresponding ignition switch: the cluster will then be powered on, and you will be able to locate the button on the right side of the cluster, immediately next to the clock display.

By turning this button counterclockwise, the hours will change; conversely, by turning this button clockwise, you can change the minutes.

After adjusting, you can turn off the cluster to complete.
