Need help wiring the gauge pod in console

Went to junkyard today and found a super deal on a three gauge pod that goes into the console. My car didn't come with this option. There are 7 wires total. two appear to go for lights. That leaves five wires left. Do I need to buy sending units, can I use existing? I can go back and get the sending units if I know where to look.

It would help to know what the gauges are.
Post a picture of front and back.

The gauges came out of a 1993 90 CS. They will be installed in a 1993 90 CS.
The car they came out of must have been an early car, the trunk license plate holder is different from mine, the "90 CS" emblem on the trunklid is smaller size-wise from mine.

You will need the pod/sending unit for the oil pressure
gauge (you can buy them separate from the gauge as well) and
the temp sensor for the first gauge.
The voltage gauge can be tapped into anything that has ignition
ON voltage.
You can trace the wires to the circuits/applicable gauge, but
a wiring diagram would be best (if this is a stock setup).
I'll check if I can find a wiring diagram.

This is a stock setup. There is an Audi part # on it which matches my Mitchell #.
The first two gauges are both oil--oil temp and oil bar. I can return to the junkyard and grab the correct sending unit, but where to look? Upper Oil Pan near the AC compressor????
Wiring diagram would be helpful as well. I have been told the needed wiring is already there, even if the car didn't come with these gauges. I do not know that to be true. I will have to remove the console first and look.
