Fitting A Vl Calais Dash Cluster To My Vl!

[seventh path]

yyeah the tacho will work...most of the calais stuff will fit into a stock vl....they made them all with the same fittings and stuff to cut costs.....

If they are so standard then the wiring for the oil px gauge must be in the loom already surley? I've read about people changing the loom and installing the sender, but like most things im sure its just hanging around. There are tonnes of unused connections in the VL, so a blue wire with a slide connector must be one of these.

Done ive installed a calais dash cluster got prices from $150-$220 but i picked 1 up 4 frickin $30 sweet as cant believe it.

Why do holdens put pov dash cluster in instead of the calais 1 like all the wirings done coulda made it standard.

As for oil gauge if i get a sender it will work???

Thanks for your help dudes.

DAMO!!!

I know this isn't going to help, sorry.

Does a standard VL come with Tacho pre-installed, or does that only come in selected models (Berlina/Vacationer/Exec/Calais) I'm sure the calais comes with tacho as my brothers mate has a vl calais with tacho on the cluster..

I dunno

Berlina & Calais VL's came with Tacho, Voltmeter, and Oil Pressure gauges as extras. The Exec (SL) model came with a clock instead of the tacho.

ah right.. I know the Calais comes with a digital clock, does the berlina also have a digital clock?

the calias and berlina are the same dash i think.......last berlina i saw had the same dash anyway....

It is the same. Calais/Berlina have Speedo, Tacho, Volts, Temp, Oil PX, and Fuel, plus a digital clock. Its all in the VL owners manual

My VL sl has tacho, speedo, oil, volts, fuel, temp, and clock

What I've seen of digital gauges, is thre very inacurate. If your buying VDO or other for oil, why not just do a full custom cluster. Then u get what u want where u want!

Good Luck !!!
