FAQs
What VDO gauge sizes does this plug fit?
This specific 12-pin plug is designed for VDO Singleviu gauges that are 80mm and 100mm in diameter.
Do I need to solder the wires?
The wires are un-terminated, meaning you will need to connect them using your preferred method, which might include crimping, soldering, or using terminal connectors. The included diagram will guide your connections.
Is a wiring diagram included?
Yes, this product comes with a wiring diagram to assist with installation.
What does 'un-terminated wires' mean?
It means the ends of the wires are not pre-fitted with connectors. You will need to strip the ends and attach them to your desired terminals or connection points.
Can I use this plug for smaller gauges?
No, this is a 12-pin plug for 80mm and 100mm gauges. VDO offers an 8-pin version for 52mm gauges.
What is the benefit of color-coded wires?
Color-coded wires help to easily identify each wire's function (e.g., power, ground, signal), making the connection process more straightforward and reducing the chance of errors.
Troubleshooting
Gauge not powering on
Verify that the power and ground wires are correctly connected to a reliable power source and chassis ground. Check the fuse for the gauge circuit.
Gauge not receiving signal
Double-check that the signal wires are connected to the correct sensors and that the sensor wiring is intact. Ensure the gauge is compatible with the signal type.
Intermittent readings
Inspect all wire connections for looseness or corrosion. Ensure wiring is routed away from sources of electrical interference.
Incorrect wiring connection
Carefully re-examine the included wiring diagram and the color-coding of the wires. Disconnect and re-establish connections based on the diagram.
