Just got one of these from Import Monster (thought I'd see how it works on something cheapish before buying the expensive stuff). Anyone know if the wiring on these suits my B4 or the Liberty's without the backlit gauges? Not sure if I'll even end up using it, but I'd at least like to know if it works before I try and eBay it...

there are 2 main problems with those gauges for your B4.. You'll never come close to hitting the 300km speed limit labelled, and your engine will blow up WAY before 10,000 rpm, Apart from that, I was pretty sure that it will be plug and play..

thanks for bursting the bubble. i thought the gauges controlled the rev and speed limiters!

Love the white dials. But wouldnt the B4 defi clusters superior to start with?

Yeah but the STI ones are cooler.. and go to 10,000 RMP and show Warp Speed of 300km's.. come on dude, the Speedo has more K's then you can get out of a tank on the B4! LOL

I used to Average 320k's when driving like a Granny in my B4.. but then again 21psi didn't help too much either.

Also, Natho, Your table seems to be full of fuel, but not moving or idling...

Im so jelous, I have some HKS gauges for sale that will match the white back ground too if your interested, as i just bought some DEFI ones..

[natho]

i'll happily consider offers for these gauges. it was an impulse buy and i'm still undecided as to wether or not i want them over the stock ones! it'll probably sit around for weeks before i get around to seeing if it works and i have a funny feeling the wiring it needs will be the same as the non-backlit models. will probably be easy enough to do but i'd rather put that effort into a single turbo conversion at this stage!

[bobbyjimmy]

Pretty sure this is right.
People who put the B4 clusters in have to swap the harness' over for them to work right, so i'd assume it would be the same for this.

Saw these in an RSK recently. They look pretty nice and I would jump at a set if I had the cash. But I would get them installed somewhere reputable that can match the kms with your current set and give you a certificate to prove the kms are correct when installed.

i put mine on ebay - can't be bothered with it, got other things to deal with. if it doesn't sell i'll get to it on a rainy day.

10,000 RPM WTF?

[HowFarToAsgaard]

any chance we can get a illumination shot?

[Sam]

I would put a shot of mine up, but the 'ing thing wont work, so I am going to run a bright white LED Strip up the back of it and wire it into the lights… Originally they came up a dull green colour.

[HowFarToAsgaard]

what do you mean by the 'ing thing wont work?

Dont the STI cluster install in ADM's?

[Sam]

Mine isnt AUDM anymore… Im not sure why it doesnt work, it did before the conversion. No one can work out why it doesnt work.

neather is my car but it works perfect

[Sam]

Yep, mine did until the conversion and then it stopped.

[vicelore]

Iv had these in my car for the last 6 months.. Cant wait to see the fuckers light up when i start it for the first time

[Jovi]

Yep, mine did until the conversion and then it stopped.

There is a micro fuse on the back of the cluster. ie blown thats why it wont work..

[Sam]

Hey mate. Do you know what it looks like? I can't find it... :/
