Replacing the instrument panel with an infocenter type one
You have to admit that those infocenter instrument panels are pretty cool. How difficult would it be to fit one instead of a regular panel, with the analog temp/fuel gauges? I doubt that it's plug and play, would you need another ECU?
I'm interested in phase 1, by the way. Last edited by ww1dm1; Nov 22nd, 2016 at 12:47. |

my phase 1 had the info centre, same cluster as the one you have pictured.
I tried to retrofit it to a mates v40 a few months ago but the loom isn't behind the dash so I assume theres more to it! |

You will need an info centre switch from a Ph1 as the Ph2 are different. Also the P1 measures engine coolant temp and engine oil temp. Only the very early engines had an oil temp sender - located on the front of the sump by the dipstick. If you do get it working the oil temp will always read cold if you haven't got the oil temp sender. Cannot be retro fitted as the sumps are different. No big deal - just giving you a heads up. Don't know about the wiring loom and whether it is plug and play or not.

the knob switch loom isn't there, the cluster itself is capable of displaying the values but only shows miles to empty I think and obv iv no way to scroll through the different options without the knob fitted

The one I have doesn't seem to indicate oil temperature (says DIST instead of OIL, even though it's from a P1), while the one in the first post does. Last edited by ww1dm1; Nov 25th, 2016 at 13:21. |
