I've looked at your signature and would like to know a few things...

 

1. How have you installed those gauges?

2. Where did you get them from ?

 

I don't wish to copy you, but would like some ideas of how to install some gauges myself...

 

Cheers

Hi Ben,

 

They are called PRO LED gauges and I cant remember where I got them from but if you are interested in these particular ones tell me and I will find the link.

 

The din pod is actually a Mk3 Golf dial pod, which fits quite well in to the Z din with a little fileing down. I think it cost £22 for the din pod. Again if you are interested in one tell me and I will find the link.

 

All my dials are electrical except the Boost and are very easy to install.

 

The Boost you will get all the hoses and T-Pieces with the gauge, or you should. Use the T-Peice to attach the hose onto where the dash boost gauge goes and just to the side of the batter is a hole which goes through to the footwell of the passenger side. Thread the hose through that hole, (The hardes part of the whole thing) and then round the back of the centre console. Take off the black centre console panel where the radio is and you should be able to see the hose you just pushed round. Grab it and attach it to the back of the dial using the adapters you get with the dial. For the light, I got a feed from the little lightbulb inside the ashtray. Get some of the little splicing clips from halfords to get a connection, its the easiest way.

 

 

What type of oil and water gauge are you thinking of getting as it is slightly different what to do from Electrical dials (What I have) and Mechanical ones.

Hi Stu,

I was looking at the HKS dials but haven't bought any yet...

 

I know you can get dial pods that fit to the pillar, but quite fancy the idea of having my dials in the centre as I have an empty space.

 

To be honest I'm open to ideas on the make of dials to get and appreicate as much guidance as possible.

 

The cheapest option is to keep an eye on the "for sale" section, but we'll have to see...

 

Anyway, I look forward to your reply...

 

Ben

I think Jeff TT at Z world do ones simalar to mine but are cheaper. Email him and ask for prices.

 

When you get the dials, feel free to email or PM me for help.

 

 

Stuart

thanks Stu,

 

After getting your advice I may well get a din pod from the awesome gti store and look at getting new dials from speeding.co.uk (£43 each)

 

What is the best ones to get (e.g. boost, oil temperature, engine temperature, etc...)

 

Once again, some small guidance is appreciated...

 

Cheers

 

Ben

Hello Ben,

 

Jeff does those for cheaper or look on Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2433439197&category=36681

 

£30 plus £4 shipping - a nice little saving if you're buying a few :)

 

Vijay

Time to order me thinks!!!

 

Cheers

Stuart,

Sorry to raise this out of the dead... I can only find a Mk4 or a Mk2 DIN Pod (Awesome Gti Store)...

 

I would ideally like to put the gauges in this weekend, although I do need to speak to Jeff :D.

 

Please let me know and if you have the info on installation to hand can you email me that???

 

Cheers

 

Ben

 

P.S. email - ben.spelman@ntlworld.com :dance:

It was the one on the link I gave you, which now seems to be gone. I cant remember which Mk it was from.

 

The only advice I can give you for the pod is to take out the centre console an try to put it in and then file away any part that is in the way.
