Audi D2 FL instrument cluster
Here is one project with final design for instrument cluster for D2. Is used C5 cluster fitted to D2.

Nice! Thats C5 cluster internals in a D2 cluster housing?
Do all the buttons still work? Does the fuel gauge behave properly? |
What are the main benefits of doing this?
I can see that you lose the colour display, but gain the voltage gauge |
and oil temp gauge. So annoying that the D2 measures oil temp but won't show you it.

Main benefits is ABS 5.7 and D2 have modern brakes. But this is other modification. |
I wonder if that would allow 'proper' RNS-E directions on the DIS? I expect it should, given the RNS-E was available in very late C5s

So, next question: what interaction does the cluster have with the ABS that requires changing to the C5 one? I thought it only talked to the ECU/TCU, other than warning lights? Your English is fine, no worries :) I appreciate you indulging my curiosity. |

I wonder what versions were used over the years on S8s of various iterations? Our sponsors have one for sale from a 2000 A8 3.7 which is a D46. https://www.prestigemotorservices.co...tem-16098.html |
5.0 until 1997, 5.3 from then on, according to the documentation, although there are several variations within those models.
|
Could 5.7 have been introduced with FL.2?
Anything different under the bonnet that would be obvious to a novice like me? |
FL1 and FL2 are all the same with the external return pump which, from Elsawin, is 5.3. The Allroad and C5 S6 prefacelift also use 5.3.
The 5.7 Nakata refers to turns up in the C5 A6 Facelift (02-05). This has ABS and ESP integrated in to the main pump block, with no external ECU or return pump. It makes sense that it would have a better pedal feel since it doesn't have the external pump or extra plumbing. I'm entirely happy with decent calipers and a brake block, but that doesn't make it any less interesting or valid from an engineering perspective :) |

Unrelated, just a firmware version I suspect.

ABS 5.7 to integrated on D2 is lot of work is need change of ECU, TCU and Instrument cluster. Now D2 is indentifing as A6/software/. Instrument cluster is reprogrammed eeprom to work correct fuel gauge with D2 fuel lever. |

About warning lights- is not solution to have christmass tree on dash. At this scenario not have ABS-ESP and etc. This can be done with bypass external pump. But for me is not solution. So to work everything perfectly is need to be changed ECU from A6/S6 4.2, TCU/if have AT/, and of course instrument cluster to work correctly ABS. To be detailed cluster is needed only for correct reading of speed for ABS. |
Are someone is interesting of info for abs conversion?
|
Yes!
