<VV> Corsa dash Install help

[shortle]

Hi Rich, I am not sure of a detailed step-by-step instruction sheet but I know it can be done. Do you have the Corsa dash harness (for the instrument cluster)? Or are you trying to use the Monza harness? I would advise to NOT try to modify the Monza dash harness. It would probably be easiest to then locate a main harness (that goes to the engine) from a Corsa so that all you have to do is plug in. You will have to run the vacuum line from the engine to the cluster but I know at least 1 major vendor has this part. Is your engine a 140? Is your car a manual transmission? Do you have a way to attach this line to your engine? The Corsa 140 car used a fitting on the vacuum equalization tube whereas the Turbos screwed it to the left hand cylinder head. As far as the temp gauge do you have a "thermistor"? There is a small harness just for this that went thru the left front heater shroud. Please give us more information so we can provide more assistance. This is a job that can be done but it is much easier if you have the stock Corsa parts available.

>Hi: Does anyone know of or have  detailed step-by-step instructions on how to install a Corsa dash in a Monza.  I am looking for details as how do you modify the dash wiring harness for the tach and clock. Where do you connect the vacuum line on the engine for this gage? The head temp gage, what required to make this operational on a Monza. Does anyone offer a install kit for doing this?
