Product Information

Full details

This VDO Singleviu 52mm electrical oil pressure gauge is designed for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who need a clear, accurate reading of their engine's oil pressure. Its primary benefit is to provide early warnings of potential engine damage, enabling swift action. A key consideration is that sender units are sold separately. The gauge offers anti-fog and anti-glare glass, dual sensor compatibility (CAN J1939 or 10-184 ohm), water resistance, and a white backlight that can synchronize with other Singleviu gauges.

FAQs

Do I need a separate sender unit?

Yes, sender units are sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible oil pressure sender unit (either 10-184 ohm or CAN J1939, depending on your system) to use this gauge.

Can I change the backlight color?

The gauge has a standard white backlight. To change the backlight color, it must be used in conjunction with a VDO Singleviu master gauge (like a speedometer or tachometer) that supports color synchronization.

Is this gauge suitable for a motorcycle?

Yes, due to its water resistance and dual voltage (12/24V) compatibility, it can be suitable for motorcycles, especially if they have a 52mm gauge mounting provision and a compatible sender unit.

What is the measurement range of the gauge?

The gauge measures oil pressure in bar, with a range of 0-10 bar.

How is the gauge mounted?

The gauge is supplied with a spin lock (clamp ring) mounting system, designed for secure attachment to a dashboard or panel.

What does 'anti-fog' and 'anti-glare' mean for the glass?

'Anti-fog' prevents condensation from obscuring the display in changing temperatures, while 'anti-glare' reduces reflections from sunlight or cabin lights, ensuring better visibility.

Can I use this gauge with a diesel engine?

Yes, provided the engine has a standard oil pressure sender port and the sender unit is compatible with the gauge's input type (10-184 ohm or CAN J1939) and the engine's pressure range.

Troubleshooting

Gauge not powering on

Verify that the gauge is correctly connected to a suitable 12V or 24V power source and ground. Check fuses related to the dashboard or accessory power.

Gauge shows no reading or erratic readings

Confirm the oil pressure sender unit is correctly installed and connected to the gauge. Ensure the sender unit is compatible with the gauge (e.g., 10-184 ohm or CAN J1939). Check for loose wires or damage to the sensor wiring.

Backlight is not working

Ensure the illumination wire is properly connected to a switched 12V/24V source (e.g., parking lights or dash dimmer). If synchronizing colors, verify the master gauge is functioning correctly.

Gauge needle is stuck or slow to respond

Check for any physical obstructions around the gauge needle. Ensure the sender unit and wiring are not compromised, as this can affect signal transmission.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides critical real-time engine oil pressure data.
  • Helps prevent serious engine damage by early warning.
  • Durable construction with anti-fog/anti-glare glass.
  • Versatile compatibility with different sensor types and voltage systems.
  • Suitable for various vehicle types, including open-cockpit cars.

Cons

  • Sender unit is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires electrical connection, unlike some mechanical gauges.
  • Backlight color customization requires compatible VDO Singleviu master gauges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable location on your dashboard or center console for the 52mm gauge.
  2. Secure the gauge using the supplied spin lock (clamp ring) mounting system.
  3. Connect the gauge to your vehicle's electrical system (12V or 24V). Refer to the vehicle's wiring diagram for correct power, ground, and illumination connections.
  4. Connect the appropriate oil pressure sender unit (sold separately) to the engine's oil pressure port and then to the gauge's sensor input.
  5. If using CAN J1939, ensure proper bus termination and connection.

Compatibility:

  • Sensors: Compatible with 10-184 ohm traditional sensors and CAN J1939 sensors. Ensure your chosen sender unit matches the gauge's input type.
  • Voltage: Works with both 12V and 24V vehicle electrical systems.
  • Backlight: Standard white backlight. Can be synchronized with other VDO Singleviu master gauges (e.g., Speedometer, Tachometer) for color-changing capability.

Care:

  • Clean the gauge face with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anti-glare coating or plastic.
  • Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion to maintain reliable operation.
  • Periodically check the oil pressure sender unit and its connection for any signs of leakage or damage.
