VDO / Stack Gauges

Booty · 18-10-09, 05:59 PM

I am after a VDO water temp gauge, same size as the ones used in all the coupes, so 52mm diameter. The Coupes however did not use a water temp gauge as you know.
Also, should anyone have one lying around that they do not need or wish to sell, then a Stack Tachometer exactly like the one in the pic on the top right. The diameter of this is 80mm. Probably hoping a bit too much on this one though!!

Try ebay for golf GTI, early ones had a lovely VDO water temperature gauge fitted.

Hi Booty
you can get an 80mm vdo tacho up to 10,000 revs recalled for 5cyl, more authentic.
i'll look up the supplier if you like

Rich, I've got a lot of gauges in the unit.

Not sure what off, but random Audi/VW parts throughout the years!

I have this one. I think it came with a job lot on ebay when we were building our rally rep.
Could be from a series 3 coupe.
Not quite the same as the one you pictured but you are wlecome to it, if it fits the bill.

The early GTI ones were oil temp (0-150 deg) in the console, water temp in the clocks.

Not sure if i have an oil temp one lying about, if thats any use, know i have def. got a voltmeter- will check
