Installing VDO Gauges

Liquid Tuna · 12-10-11, 12:35 PM

Hi, I have a 1993 Audi Coupe 2.6E and have bought a set of the standard VDO gauges that (I think) were an option on this car, from Ebay. Does anyone have a guide or any info on installing them please? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am in the process of doing the same myself, you will need additional sensors, a 2 pin oil pressure sensor to replace the single one for your low oil pressure warning on the dash, and an oil temp sensor before you start pulling your car interior apart.......
Also if you did not get the centre console with the gauges you will have to do a small amount of cutting to make the new ashtray fit, or do without. The cig lighter also has to be moved or again do without..
Tip... change the bulbs in the gauges and your heater controls at the same time..

My car is in the garage dismantled a week now, waiting on the sensors, hence the wait until you have them before you start idea

Will do tho!
