Don't tell me, let me guess, you must be a pilot! Allan Bagley 86 westy -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM]On Behalf Of Frank Grunthaner Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 7:08 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: gauge recommendations
What a tasty question! I have: (in the heater air cover) oil pressure, oil temperature, battery voltage taken at the fuse panel and switched, battery voltage taken at the output terminal of the auxiliary battery and unswitched, coolant pressure gauge tapped at the coolant reservoir tank. (in the dash panel same height as radio, mounted on either side of dash) vacuum gauge (left), combination Exhaust temperature gauge and cylinder head temperature gauge. (in the instrument console) air/fuel gauge mounted above the headlight switch. (to be added with Turbo Audi 3A engine) Cyberdyne fuel pressure gauge, manifold boost pressure gauge, air temperature gauge monitoring air exit temperature from intercooler, oil temperature in auxiliary oil scavenger sump, and fuel trip computer to monitor fuel economy, injector duty cycle, knock sensor timing retard onset. (external to dash) Altimeter, barometer, body axis tilt horizontal and vertical, left and right air spring pressure monitors, and to be added with Turbo 3A ... G-tech accelerometer, recording on road dyno. (in the mirror) digital compass with exterior temperature monitoring, switches with sensor in refrigerator. (additional sensor warning lights integrated into dash instrument cluster) cruise control active light, low speed fan on LED, high speed radiator fan on LED, oil level warning light - main crankcase, and to be added - oil level warning light in auxiliary scavenger oil sump (warns of oil flow backup), and turbo timer cooling circuit active. Probably missed a few. Haven't been able to get to the Valentine 1 or XM radio yet. Daughter broke the sensor for "tacky noise masquerading as music in the rear". The SWMBO bad mood sensor, turn off at next gas station or else sensor still in development. The "dogs just took a leak" sensor is frustratingly non predictive! Frank Grunthaner |
