Subject:      Re: Adding gauges to a Vanagon dashboard, and which are important?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


IMHO, for gasoline engines, the 3 essential guages are Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure and Voltmeter.  I had them on all my prev Rabbits and Audi.  I am going to be putting them on my Vanagon now that it's old enough for me to be paranoid about her health.  But I have no idea where to locate them to not ruin the astethics of the dashboard.  Waiting to hear suggestions!

I'm sure some of you have added auxiliary gauges to your vans by now, so I
am wondering what interesting mounting cups, extra consoles, or whatever
that you have used, where, and do they look like they belong there? I'm
getting ready to install the 1.9 Turbodiesel, and want to add another 3
gauges: one for boost pressure, one for exhaust temp., and a voltmeter. Any
thoughts also on other more important ones, or should that do it? Thanks for
any input.
