hi just got aset of st170 clocks and oil temp &pressure gauge and was wondering if there hard 2 fit i think the clocks should fit ok but as for the oil gauge i know this will need a bit of work any 1 done this before ??? im fit them 2 a 2000 2 litre

 

They dials are a straight swap (sort of) and the oil pressure/temp dials will fit (if you have the dial surround with the cutout) but they won't work.

The oil dials also contain the inverter for the electro-luminescent ST170 dials so you need that fitted if you want your dials to light up at night!

On the ST170 the indications for the oil temp/pressure dials are provided by the ECU, it's not yet really known (as far as I'm aware) if you can replicate these signals from an aftermarket sensor and sender to make the dials work. I don't know of anyone who has made them work but I'm open to correction.

 

i put the clocks in but i think there f**ked as when u trun the car on the revs are at 1800 rpm and 20 mph just on tick over? the heat and the petrol gauges arent registering at all ???? any with a clue lol ?

 

Do you know what "power supply" the inverter supplys via the two wires to light up the dash then?? I dont want to fit the oil guages to my car but would want to replicate the inverter or equivilent supply to illuminate the dash.
