How to get oil press gauge in your CGT (5 minutes!)

[S J & I Santoliquido]

Yes! I have the three analog gages (and trim) ready to go in. The analog
dash conversion is on my to-do list, but quite aways down. Still I'd like to
know of any tricks or serious problems you encountered doing it.

the digital gauges, and use the disused connectors. They are color coded.
When all the plugs protruding from the gauge cluster are connected to their
mates, you will have a working, OEM Audi, oil temp, pressure, and volts
readout.

will be a bit more involved. (I still don't have a fuel gauge!) but it's
really not too bad...
