    Unhappy vn calais dash

    i have just bought a vn calais,
    was curious to what type of dash they should have,
    this one has tacho, speedo, temperature and fuel, plus trip meter etc etc?
    i thought they would have had oil pressure and volts as well?
    also on a different note the petrol and temp gauge aren't working, the heater blows out cold air as well,
    any help with some answers be much apreciated
    cheers

    No they dont have Oil pressure, but you can get a battery voltage readout if you have your car turned off and hold Mode and Reset buttons then turn the key to accessories. Then press Mode to scroll the different readouts.

    Have you tried bashing the top of the cluster with your hand to see of the guages work, you can fix it by soldering some connections on the back of the cluster board but I forgot which ones that you solder.

    yea solder the connection better. no prper contact so the needles not getting any power to put it up. when you bash it, then it makes connection. good luck with that anyway
