its been a nice sunny day so i thought that i would fit my new temperature gauges with sensors attached.

one for the engine air intake air temp, and one for the inside of the car.

so here is the blanks that the gauges will be located.

Image

i removed the panels.

Image

i took a power feed from the ignition live to the stereo and conected it to the 12vdc to 5vdc converter and connected the output to the gauge and earths too.

Image

Image

i bought two of each.

i ran one of the temperature sensors to the same location of the climate control motor fan.

Image

and then cut the other gauge temp sensor wire and lengthened the cable and ran it through the car and into the engine bay and into the inlet pipe.

Image

Image

so with the gauges located and all connected time to put it all back together.

Image

Image

not the best fit but i didnt need to hack about the panel. and i can return it to stock should i need to.

Image

the right gauge is the inlet temp and the left one is the cabin temp.

two gauges cost £5.88 posted from hong kong

and the dc-dc converters were only £5.30 for the two.

£11.18 total bargain.

Glad you managed to get the filter fitted properly (more magic tape I see)

Looking really good with the drop 8-)

yeah more magic tape, had to use it twice on mine, once to sort the filter fitment and the other to fix the hole in the filler neck.
also fixed a top hose on a golf and used some to insulate an ignition lead that was earthing to the engine on a corsa.
