How to fit Audi VDO gauges into mk3


Recommended Posts

Hi all, just got my hands on a set of 3 VDO gauges from an old Audi, does anyone know how to fit these things or is there somewhere that has detailed instructions? My bro has them on his MK2 16v, how different is the fitting from that to the mk3 VR6?

is it a 5 bar pressure gauge? cos the VR6 needs higher than 5 so only vdo option is a 10bar with matched sender.

other than making sure you have the correct pressure range gauge/sender, its very easy to connect them up, they only need a live, ground and sender feed. the volt meter just needs live and ground. If you wire them up in serial you can do a very neat job too, no excess amount of wires.

its the 5 bar pressure gauge, i have read that this only causes a problem when the engine is cold though, i am more concerned about pressure when hot and thrashing so is it really worth getting the 10 bar instead?

Just in the process of making a bracket to hold it all in properly in the radio slot
