VDO Gauge Fitting

Post

Back to the top
I am thinking about buying some VDO gauges from eBay for my 1.3 driver.. (yes, I know it's not very sporty!! I am 18, it was insurable haha)

Does anybody know what the process of fitting them would entail, and would it be achievable or very difficult/ not worth my while?

Thanks, Jack :)

you need the matching senders for oil temp and oil pressure, you may need a 2 into 1 splitter to fit one of the senders, can't remember if the small blocks have a spare threaded oil outlet

lots of wiring diagrams on the internet

not too difficult of a job with a few basic tools and ability to route and connect wires.

Totally up to you if you think its worth while. Is almost standard mod on GTIs but I'd first spend time and effort making sure the car as fully serviced, rust proofed to death and has 4 matching decent tyres etc before fitting gauges

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
