Oil pressure and temp. gauge

[MaD117]

Hello,

I want to mount three gauges in my Leon 2 Cupra, a turbo boost gauge, an oil pressure gauge and an oil temperature gauge.

For the turbo boost gauge I have all the information to do it.

But I've found nothing about oil temp. and pressure. Does anybody have done it ?

Does anyone have found a gauge pod for this car ? For the moment I have only found the RGM universal A-Pillar mount, but it's a big work to adapt it to the car.

Thanks for any informations.

Don't really know anything about the "how to" part of the question, but as for mounting them, I would have though a pod in the section infront of the gear lever would be best. Adapting a a pillar trim in the Mk2 leon would be a pita, and obscure an already very large A pillar even more.

You're right !
But as I told it, I haven't found nothing else...

Is there not an air bag right behind that pillar ?

No, not in my car, that's the first thing I've checked ! I don't want to take my gauges in the face if I crash... LOL...

Just a totaly randon idea....Have you / are you going to fit a standard DIN head unit in the car? If is would the adapter have space for you to mount the dials?

Like I said, just a totaly random idea.

Yes, it's an idea... But I'm not going to fit a standard DIN head unit.

As I said the main problem for me is to install the oil temp and pressure senders !

Wouldn't the oil temp / pressure senders be able to tap off the banjos that connect to the oil cooler? Not speaking from experience here, just past installs of these guages into the old car.

Yes perhaps... If someone has some picture or a guide to do the job it would be great.
