Interesting this is a VW original OE RHD extremely rare pod cluster that fits early cars. The gauges are not original but good quality. The battery gauge has been swapped out for a boost gauge so ideal for an early car with turbo upgrade. I think Sprinter had made some for reproduction ones for LHD but not RHD so extremely rare part.

 

Pod is Number 7 on diagram

You can still buy the two missing bungs from classics

Good buy for someone with an early car with a turbo or someone willing to put a battery gauge back in how it came from factory.

 

You can still get the original VDO gauges in regards to the part numbers . So would be a complete stock unit. No 22 + 23 on diagram.

I would be all over this if I had an early model as truly rare !!!

Very nice, and rare to find in RHD - but pricey.

 

There were a few aftermarket versions of the panel available as far as I remember.

 

Personally I'm not gone on the silver gauge trim - the original gauges are just standard black VDO ones with green backlight in instead of orange - still available new, and common on "sporty" Golfs, Scirocos and Audis from the 80s - you might just need to swap over the bulbs. With a twin pole pressure sender from an Audi Coupe you could get the whole lot from a breaker apart from the holder itself.

Yes you would have to buy the VDO gauges that are black to make it stock, none the less a rare item. The newer POD models look so much better though !!!
