Sweet! Can I get a picture? Thanks man.

Resurrecting this one! How do you get these installed?

Is pinning it down where the front hood seal is an option?

That's what I'm thinking as well! Unfortunately the wires are short and not connected to anything. There are three ports under the boot as well - I'm assuming those are old school OBD ports of some kind?

Edit: 3 ports & the car is from California.

Not quite - Check out the picture attached. You can see the cut out in the Karmann logo where the red light bulb was poking out of.

Hey All

Ive purchased a used 1990 G60 a while ago and looking under the shift boot I found a tiny light bulb with two wires not connected anywhere. A hole was cut in the Karmann logo for the bulb to poke out of.

Anyone know where was the previous owner going with this?

It's a shame to trim it - it's worth a lot more in one piece. There was an earlier 2 x round VDO gauge trim for the pre-facelift cars.

 

The main item you will need is an oil pressure sensor (either twin pole, so you can run your existing pressure buzzer of it, or single, which can be run with a T-piece and adapter. ARZ-tuning in Germany supply these, but most of the UK based performance VW shops should have what you need. You will also then need a 4 pin connector to go from the loom into the back of the housing - you've got the pressure sender wire, illumination, switched live and earth to connect and that's it. You can take these from the cigarette lighter and the glove box light. The single cable from the pressure sender goes from the oil filter housing through one of the grommets in the bulkhead near the pedals and back to the gauges behind the dash.

 

There's a guide on here in one of the threads or in the knowledge base/wiki. I'll see if I can find some of the part numbers from when I did it.

I purchased it for a steal already trimmed by the previous owner so Im not too upset.

How's this part look? - https://www.vwheritage.com/v360023-vdo-oil-pressure-sender-150psi-2-pin-with-warning-light-m10-x-1-vw-spare

Thanks for the wiki link - helps a bunch!

Hey everyone,

I recently secured a late style VDO gauge seen in the VR6. Im planning to install in my 1990 G60 (Yes, it is trimmed down to fit)

Can anyone quickly put together a list with links/part number of all the required parts to make it work.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have all weather mats in your car? Where’d you get em from and how do they fit?

Thanks

Thanks guys this is great help.

I just received 2m of vacuum line from BBM I’ll be swapping in today. Will updates progress here for anyone else who might have the same issue.

New G60 owner here with an Idle issue I can't seem to find any mention of here.

The car will rev between 1000 - 2500 RPM a few times when starting (only after the engine warms up, first start of the day is fine) and corrects itself almost immediately after I turn on the windshield defogger. Also worth mentioning the car idles at 1200 RPM constantly on a good day.

Rarely it'll choke up and stall - although I don't think this issue is related and I haven't been able to replicate it.

Things I have done:

- Cleaned ISV

- Replace Blue Temp Sensor

- Installed correct Spark Plugs and wire (previous owner had incorrect plugs installed)

Any clue what's going on? :scratch:

Id be interested in one!
