I have them on a 2.0 and the install was pretty simple, though i did have to take out alot of crap to get to the oil filter flange. Is it impossible to get to the vr6 filter flange?

Well, looking at the VR6 engine, there is really no room. I was told that the front end must be removed..that means the grill, bumper, radiator.

Re: Installing VDO Gauges (RodG)

can you get to it from the bottom?

Re: Installing VDO Gauges (2kjettaguy)

I don't think there is a way to get it from the bottom. I think my only option is to dismantle the front end. Can anybody give me the order of dismantling the front end?
1. Grill
2. Bumper
3. ?
4. ?
5 ?
