Unknown Gauge? - Mitch1793 - 29-01-2014
Brain Picking again
This is probably a stupid question but here is a photo of a Gauge i'm am unsure what is for.

it come on and goes to about 3/4 then goes off about 10 seconds later. i can't quite make the symbol out on it?
Hope someone can help as its really bugging me not being able to figure it out.
Cheers

Oil level.

Its oil level. On the 1.8 petrol engines and bigger they show the level of the oil when you start the car. On the gti6 it then stays on and shows oil temp?

Does anyone know what the actual symbol is though, I never could work it out myself, a picture of an oil can or dipstick would've been more useful tbh!

Its oil level on ignition then on some engines it changes when you start up.
RE: Unknown Gauge? - Mitch1793 - 29-01-2014
Brill cheers! Yea it only stays on for about 10 seconds then goes off i've only got a water temp gauge no oil temp gauge.

Oil temp was only on the GTis

That is an oil level gauge.
If you had a Gti-6 this would chance to oil temperature when running in a Ph.2/3, and in a Ph.1 it displays oil pressure. Both of these gauges have the markings for temperature/pressure on them though.
