Gauge Cluster
From Volkswagen Cabrio Wiki
The Mk3.5 Cabrio gauge cluster is unique because it has black faces, orange needles, and blue lighting. The mk3 cabrio came with identical gauge clusters as all other mk3's. There were Silver face and orange needles, black face and white needles, and also some early cabrios came with the black bubble face cluster with white needles. All standard mk3's came with green lighting in the clusters.
- The furthest left gauge in the cluster is the coolant thermometer, ranging from 160 degrees to 230 degrees Fahrenheit. (70-110 degrees Celsius on the European cluster)
- Next is the speedometer, from 0 to 140 miles per hour, with kilometers per hour on an inner ring. The European Cabrio cluster has only km/h markings, no mph markings. (0-220 km/h)
- Toward the right is the tachometer, reading from 0 to 7,000 RPM. Red line reads at 6,200 RPM.
- Finally on the far right is the fuel gauge. Above that is the indicator that shows which gear the transmission is in, for automatic transmissions only. An automatic cluster may be used in a manual car with no problems, however a manual cluster can not be used in an automatic car.
Along the bottom is the display which shows BRAKE, Airbag, Check Engine, and other diagnostic lights.
