speaking of places to mount gauges - has anyone tried to mount a single round 
gauge in the area of the 3 (or 2, if your TQ has the factory fog lite switch) 
dummy switch blanks on the console above the climate control display on the 
typ44TQ's between the heated seat switch, and the ABS or fog switch?  there 
appears to be enough room there for a single round gauge if you remove the 
switch blanks and use a hacksaw blade to cut the aluminum spacer bars..   you 
could cut some aluminum stock as a bezel to fit in the square opening, then 
cut a circular hole in it to set the gauge in, then spray it black to match 
the rest of the dash... it would be a clean, almost factory looking install.

does VDO make a gauge this small of a diameter?
