GENUINE VDO 3 GAUGE SET by BECK for 356/550 This is a 3 gauge set, made by VDO expressly for BECK AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING, LLC. , a division of Special Edition, Inc (SEI). The home of all BECK products. We are pleased to offer this 3 intrument set which we developed in conjunction with Intermeccanica, and Continental/VDO over the last year and a half. We at BECK have enjoyed a nearly 30 year relationship with VDO, and when their plant in South America finally ceased production of our replica instruments it forced us, and the other users of these fine VDO gauges to switch to the only replica version still available, made in China.This prompted the efforts to develop, with the invaluable aid of key VDO personnel, the re-introduction of genuine VDO made reproduction 356 and 550 gauges.Now for the details of this offering. PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY, AS THERE ARE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES OF WHICH TO BE AWARE.These gauges are in 100mm metal housings. (The older reproduction VDO and the Chinese gauges are in 105mm housings.) The original Porsche gauges are 100mm.These are 12 volt gauges.These gauges are face lighted, as the originals, not the more modern back lighted style.The Speedometer is in MPH, 0 to 120, and is designed to be GPS driven. This means that it detects your speed from the satellites, just like your Garmin, etc. This requires the addition of a concealed GPS antenna, which is available from SEI, but NOT included in this auction. Alternately it can be driven by a magnetic Hall sensor, which we do not offer at this time. The odometer and trip meter are digital, as VDO no longer makes a mechanical drive unit. It is located in a “window” just above the reset button seen at 6 o'clock on the Speedometer face.The Combination Gauge has both oil temperature and fuel level. It requires a fuel sending unit, VW style, and an oil temp sending unit, both available from SEI, but NOT included here. It also has 4 warning lights: alternator failure (red), oil pressure (red), high beam indication (blue), and a green.The Tachometer is 0 to 8000 RPM (UPM). With the red area beginning at 6200 rpm.The reason that the GPS sensor antenna and the 2 other senders are sold separately is that there are applications where customers may already have one or more of the appropriate units already. We will post these sensors as a separate auction for all 3 as well as separately should you require only a partial set.Thje listing for the senders is # 121275468642 We are not offering the gauges individually at this time, but only in the 3 gauge set as seen here.We are sure this new offering will create quite a few questions, so please feel free to contact us thru eBays system.
ADDED TODAY, 4/1/2014 - In response to questions regarding alternative methods of Speedometer drive we had a conversation with VDO Technical, and have confirmed that this speedometer uses a 12 volt square wave pulse system and can be programmed with the use of the odometer reset button to detect such signals up to 350,000 pulses per mile.
This procedure can be manually entered if the pulse count is known, or set by driving a measured mile. Directions are available if this method fits your application. We have not tried this, as the GPS is our preferred choice here at BECK.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ: We have been receiving some questions about people with replica Speedsters and spyders asking if their fuel senders will work. The broad answer is NO, in our experience VW Beetle fuel senders are incorrect OHM range for the new VDO standard 0 to 73 ohm.ALSO - it will fit in the same location, however, some of you will likely have to shorten the "arm" of the sender so it does not bottom out in the tank before reaching empty. There is no way for us to know about your tank or sender, but we have fitted it to many Speedster and Spyder replicas, both BECK and other brands.
Temperature Senders are 250 degree and require an adapter to fit the VW cases.
ALL SENDING UNITS ARE AVAILABLE IN ANOTHER EBAY AUCTION AND ARE NOT INCLUDED HERE.
