FAQs

Do I need to buy a sender unit separately?

Yes, the VDO Vision oil pressure electrical gauge (350-010-008K) is supplied without a sender unit. You will need to purchase a compatible electrical oil pressure sender separately.

What is the diameter of this gauge?

This gauge has a standard 52mm diameter, making it suitable for most common gauge pods and dashboard cutouts.

What is Trioptic technology?

Trioptic technology refers to VDO's illumination system that provides enhanced visibility of the gauge dial and pointer, especially during nighttime driving, ensuring clarity and readability.

Can I use this gauge on a diesel engine?

This gauge is designed for monitoring oil pressure. While it can be used on diesel engines, ensure the pressure range (0-5 Bar) and sender unit compatibility are suitable for your specific diesel engine's requirements.

How is the gauge mounted?

The gauge features a spin lock mounting system, which is a clamp ring that provides a secure, 360° mounting force to the dashboard or mounting panel.

What color is the backlight?

The backlight is white.

Is this gauge waterproof?

While designed for automotive use, the gauge itself is not rated as waterproof. Care should be taken to protect it from excessive moisture or direct water spray.

Troubleshooting

Gauge needle does not move

Check all electrical connections to the gauge and sender. Ensure the sender unit is properly installed and functioning. Verify the 12V power supply to the gauge.

Inaccurate or erratic readings

Verify the sender unit is the correct type for this gauge and is installed correctly. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the oil line if using a mechanical sender (though this is an electrical gauge, sender compatibility is key). Inspect wiring for damage or loose connections.

Backlight not working

Check the power supply and ground connections for the backlight circuit. Ensure the bulb is not burnt out (if applicable and replaceable).
