    D1 what Gauges do you use?

    I have a 1998 D1 300tdi.
    I was wondering what others with similar run in terms of Gauges, I'm looking mostly at digital readouts.
    OBDII seems like the most promising option at this stage, but would like to hear of others experiences.

    Cheers, Brad

    In my case I have fitted into a dash binnacle -
    a) VDO temperature gauge,
    b) VDO boost gauge,
    c) low coolant alarm, and
    d) Madman EMS-2 digital setup (currently set for EGT temps, oil pressure & battery voltage)

    Yeah doubt you have much luck doing something modern through obd2.
    I made my own dash pod custom fit to gauges i wanted.

    My understanding was that they did post 1996.

    They have the OBD2 port as every market got the same body loom. Only some markets with the ECU controlled 300TDi got any function to it, not Australia. The engine loom including any ECU and relays plugs in at two large multi plugs just behind the firewall, and far less wires connect from the non-ECU diesels.

    Mines a 4/99 build. Has the port, does nuth'n!

    My preference for gauge(s) is the 1Gauge.
    Seems like a steep price(~$500), but considering the number of gauges you get, it's actually quite cheep!

    Easy to fit, just need adapters for the sensors you fit(as you would for any other gauge).

    ps. if you follow my link and view the pics, never mind the quality of the cutout for the LCD screen. It was already hacked badly due to a previous owner fitting a compass there (that I removed).

    I basically watch EGT and coolant temp. Keep an eye on the oil temp and pressure a bit too when the coolant is sitting high. They all seem to be directly related to each other.
