I have a BX19RD - This does not have the luxury of an oil or temperature gauge only a little light to tell you when things go wrong!!! (Touch Wood).
I am not interested in a rev counter so if any other BX or Pug 405 has a basic binnacle with temp & oil I'd be happy. Is it possible to do a straight swap for an instrument binnacle that has these 2 gauges, ie is it a straight clip in and go, or do you need to re-wire a few bits.
I have been having a look at the Citroen Do-It-Yourself section on www.tramontana.co.hu/citroen on this particular web-page
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/citroen/coo ... oling.html
and it appears to require minimal soldering work to fit a PUG 405 GTI binnacle.
1) Do they just refer to a PUG 405 GTI binnacle as they are much easier to source.
or
2) Do they refer to the GTI binnacle as it is the ONLY binnacle to have these 2 gauges.
Any help by anyone who has done this would help greatly.
regards
Deano

They are referring to the Pug 205 not the 405. You can swap bits around and create a BX binnacle without a rev counter but with a water temp gauge. You need to use a taller blue topped sender unit on the engine and can use the original wire to the binnacle. The oil temp gauge will require another sender, which fits in a separate hole in the sump behind the bottom engine mount. The BX doesn't have this extra hole unfortunately; you will have to find a sump pan with one on. Pug 205 diesels have one. If you can get hold of a 205GTI binnacle, they fit straight in but the rev counter is wrong and you will need a flywheel sensor to make it work.
