cupra r gauges

[Mat]

WOW! Thats seems exessive (sp)

 

[andy_tratter]

on that vagcat link it shows a wiring harness, does this mean the standard cupra r gauges are electrical and just plug straight in without any extra mechnaical plumbing? prob sounds quite stupid as they're are only voltage and temp gauges so must run via the ecu, not like boost that actually needs to be measured through the dump valve??

 

[chrissyscupra]

i couldnt beleive the price, i also got told itd be 20 quid for 4 of they daft clips that hold ur engine cover on

yeah theyre elecrical,iv got 2 plugs where the guages should be

 

[andy_tratter]

cool cheers nice one, does that mean then you can put any 2 gauges you want down there (say boost and oil pressure), just as long as they're electrical?

 

[chrissyscupra]

negative bud jus volt n temp guages,there sum pretty good threads bout pressure n boost guages n how to connect them

 

[andy_tratter]

yeah seen them, was hoping for an easy way solution! cheers matey

where are these plugs located? centre console somewhere i presume but where exactly???

 

[andy_tratter]

i assume so, going to have a look tomorrow, bet its a case of stripping most of the dash out to find em!

 

[andy_tratter]

didnt get round to lookin today, its been pissing down all day, im only a fair weather car modifier you see...!

 

[Dan1.6]

does anyone have the dimension sizes for the gauge holder

 

[andy_tratter]

not numerically but im pretty sure it fits the entire cubby hole

 

[tom w]

just ordered my gauge holder £8.81 and thats from the dealer i'm well shocked thought it would be more

 

[Dan1.6]

i'd like the numerical sizes if someone could have a quick measure for me

 

[tom w]

ok just picked mine up it is 150mm x 150mm square with 2x 52mm holes part number 6k0 863 263 01c hope this helps £10.02 inc vat at 10% not 17.5% dont let them charge you the higher vat not till the new year anyway

thankyou mate your a star

 

[tom w]

no worries !

 

[tom w]

BUMP ! any news on these mystery plugs ? had a gander on a dealers computer and it states something about a wiring harness?? do you need this to connect the two gauges??????

 

[andy_tratter]

still not looked yet but if anyones already put em in and knows it would save me a job...!

 

[chrissyscupra]

soz cant be of help wiring was all ready in mine

 

[EvilKinevil]

right guys, got myself a gauge holder + gauges out an R.

have looked at the fitting guide (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=72432) and that seems simple enough, just wondering if there is wireing already in-situ (2001 cupra) to just plug & play? as the gauges i got have a OE looking 4 pin plug

if not, i'm assuming I'm needing an oil pressure sensor? if so what sensor do I buy?, can someone point me in the right direction

cheers

(edit; I've got a spare gauge holder if anyones looking for one, its got a small split on the LHS and a scrape on the right, not bad but not perfect, will post to somebody UK that wants it for postage costs, PM if your interested)
