Default Help with wiring a st170 clocks and gauges

I'm wondering if anyone has fitted a st170 clocks and gauge pod into a non st car I'm trying to fit it into my 1.4. Also if anyone has a wiring diagram for the clocks and gauges. Any help is appreciated

st gauges operate at different voltage to other models which is why most dont fit them unless your skilled at auto electrics

The transformer for the lighting is within the oil gauges, so you will need to give these a 12v feed then link the 2 gauge units together. I presume there is a cable for this.

There is no sensor / sender.

The ecu makes up a figure bassed on things like water temp, rpm and so on and sends it to the dash.

No st engine ecu, no pod workie. End off.
