To set the clock on a Volkswagen Golf, turn the ignition key in the ignition switch to power up the instrument cluster. Once the cluster is on, use the knob located at the bottom right of the clock.

Turning it to the right will allow you to adjust the minutes displayed; conversely, turning it to the left will let you change the hours. Once the correct time is set, turn off the instrument cluster completely by turning the key.
