Hi all,
I want to fit the Aux gauges to my B3 90,
Who has done this before?
Do i need the whole centre console? or just the Gauges and ashtray?
TIA
Dan.

To do the job properly.

Centre console.
Gauges.
Handbrake surround.
Short loom for above (the long loom to the senders can be made up).
You need an oil temp sender and a dual oil pressure sender for the engine. Voltmeter just feeds off the ign.

I did a write up somewhere how to wire it all up but it's simple to be honest.

Just listed a temp sender on the for sale section.

No mate sorry, cleared out all my Audi stuff, your best bet is to find someone breaking a coupe as most if not all 5 pot coupes came with them, and you can pull all the bits you need then.

that said expect to pay circa £100 for the full kit as that's what I used to get all day long for them.

Buying them piece meal off ebay and here will bag you the bits for circa £30, the gauge pods often come up for very little and the pressure sender is used on BMWs too so easy scrapyard fodder.

Thanks man, that will have to be the way its done, between the steering wheel, ATD, sensor and gubbins for that, red rear indicator lenses, clear front and side ones, and silver bulbs to go in them, i have blew the £200 out of my student loan i had budgeted for car stuff lol well its now sorned for the winter so atleast i dont have to worry about stuff goin wrong mechanically! fingers crossed, i prob should not have said that lol!
