just aquired a gauge pod for my car:
just pushed it in just now as it already looks better than the useless tray that was there
this is the plug that came with it
what do i wire what to- also i assume the power to give the battery gauge a reading powers the illumination? does the car already have a oil pressure sensor or is that something ill need to get?

Re: wiring a gauge pod
search behind the tray you removed the wiring loom is already there it will be a three or four wire plug been some time since i installed mine
voltage will work straight away oil pressure will need a sender unit installed instead of the oil pressure switch

Re: wiring a gauge pod
Harriet is right you will need a sender unit +mounting.
This might be difficult to find .

Re: wiring a gauge pod
Best bet is to find a turbo thats being broken as the sender for the turbo engine is the same (its just to the 7 O'clock position realative to the oil filter)glasgowjim wrote:
