CGT digital to analog conversion issues

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

It happens to be me.

I got sick of the instability of the digital dash.

So, with the help of Mr. Ebay and time I converted to analog. It took couple
of months to find all the gauges with the right resistence ranges.

If you want to go to this route let me know and I'll help you.

Later,

>There is a guy on AudiWorld who converted to analog gauges, although he used
standard VDO rounds. If you are not an AW member, I'll try to contact him for
you. I realize you aren't nuts about the digital dash, but consider putting
one back in. I hated mine at first but have grown used to it, and now actually
like it. You have a very rare CGT Commemerative Edition there, and I think she
deserves to be kept as stock and unmolested as possible...but either way, I'd
be glad to help contact the guy on AW if you're not a member.

driver duties, I am contemplating how to resolve the gauge issues. Namely
there aren't any except for the console ones. Voltage and oil temp are okay
(grin) but I need to get at least a working speedo to register the thing. I
have access to a complete GT dash at bargain prices (analog) and am thinking
that I prefer it to digital. (Based on roommate's '86 GT with digital- I don't
like it even when it works!)

a matter of hooking up a speedometer cable and matching up the harnesses.

more spacious, quieter, and if anything, even more unique out on the road
(unless convoying with Ken and Tom in their '86s also!)
