Would anyone know the manufacturer(s)and availability of the oil pressure and water temp gauges in my 91 Breakaway? They fluctuate wildly or are pegged most of the time. They typically have moisture/condensation in them with the A/C off for several days.Any troubleshooting input would be appreciated; I will begin by replacing the gauges because of the moisture and go from there.
Thank you in advance,Richard

My '94 Breakaway had VDO dash gauges as OEM. Just starting to replace them as they go bad..changed the volt meter and the water temp to a similar looking gauge from my auto supplier.Really not very costly and not hard to do. Also replaced oil pressure sending unit and kept original VDO gauge.

How about coming to the Hillsborough State Park "GTG" in December. Several Breakaways are registered PLUS the real brainy folks with the answers to all your questions. Have a super time and meet the gang...................

Ok... I got it. Here is your gauge set. Is there any chance you could make the image bigger? Mabe zoom into the face so I can see for sure which style it is.

If it has the same type of faceplate as mine, then this product line is no longer being produced. It was originally made by TeleFlex and they were bought out by VeeThree. Sadly, VeeThree decided to discontinued this line about 3 years ago. Anything you find will be NOS or sitting in a shelf at an RV or Boat Store.



On another note: I just saw this here.
