ok it will work if you do the usual 4 wire routine but and this is the big but the oil gague is only a dummy gague on the S2 and uses a switch and not a sender so it shows 3/4 or zero it looks like a gague but is realy just like an idiot light if you still have a sender in the gague will register zero. i put a tickford cluster in my S3 SR and put a sender in thought my cluster was roo**d but eventually worked it out . btw you can't go S1 into a S@/3 the stereo volume will shoot up to max and deafen you : it is something to do with the speed alaet wiring even if SA is not fitted good luck
