Hi

Anyone know where to buy those VDO GAUGES for the RST??

VDO BOOST GAUGE UP TO 1.5 BAR.


VDO OIL TEMP GAUGE IN ºC.


VDO WATER TEMP GAUGE IN ºC


VDO OIL PRESS GAUGE UP TO 10 BAR.

Many thanks in advance
CheeRS mates!!

There are places in the UK that sell them but not many. I had loads of trouble when I was after mine. I bought my boost gauge from ebay international, in the end I think it came from Australia.

They do match the original stuff very well indeed, just need a green bulb and you're away!

Nice looking gauges actually. Just remember to get the sensors too. They don't come with the gauges!

Yeah! The bad points of those gauges are price and they don´t include sensors..........

The downside to the Revotec gauges is the rather large Revotec logo on them... Takes away the "standard" look I think. VDO look better IMHO
