Hey guys i think i just stuffed my dash completely. I brought a kit off ebay to make the backings white it looks really sweet but the bad news is now i only have a tacho and speedo that work. I dunno about the oil pressure because i was already having dramas with that. But now as soon as i turn the car on the boost and the oil just go way up, and i broke the fuel needle removing it. I guess ill have to buy another dash but does anyone know how to fit them without running into the probs of needles breaking here is a pic of them if you need to know what type they are.

 

You don't need to remove the gauge needles to install those kits...the hole is big enough to slip over the needle boss.

 

ya slide them on a set at a time holding the needle in place

dont' remove the needle lol

 

if you removed the needles on the smaller gauges you probabky broken them as they are not designed to be removed without rebuilding the gauge

 

i didnt remove my needles, everything works . . .

 

Looks good man. I have them same gauges on my TII and getting them for this new S5 n/a when I get it. Thread starter it came with directions didn't it? Should always read or at least skim them even if you THINK you know what your doing.

 

Nah you had to on mine trust me on this, its probably a different kit to what your thinking about. But looking at it now im pretty pissed off i think i could have just cut a tiny slot in the white bit that you would hardly have noticed, just rushed into getting them on there now i gotta find a new dash on ebay and try again learnt my lesson

 

No you don't have to. I dont care which white faces you get you dont have remove the needles lol.
