Hi Guys

Has anyone fitted a set of audi gauges to their e30's?

If so, how do you get the oil pressure and oil temp setup, and where do you tap into the signal for them?

Thanks

Ive collected all the parts and will be doing this mod when I cahnge the clutch and gearbox on my touring.

You use an M3 tempsensor in place of the sump plug for the oil temp, and a VW /Audi pressure sensor in the block with the right adaptor for the pressure, it also has a connection for the idiot light on the dash, so there is no need for tee pieces etc. And that's about it.

I've just ordered a voltmeter and oil temp gauge. New VDO ones from a german site. 100 euro including delivery for both and a temp sender.
I thought the same as Steve ... the panel under the heater controls should be fine. You can take a feed from the ashtray light for the internal lights. Just wondering where the best place is to wire in the voltmeter as I use the fag lighter pos for my heated seats.

any pics floating about with these installed in the e30?
will they squeeze into the centre air vent area?
look really nice and very well suited to e30 interior.
