HOW TO: VDO GAUGES - UPDATED!

[X4MGS]

No, the one with the green wire, it's the same shape as the new sender

Sorry for being thick.... But you said if it has 0.3 bar it goes on the head...

Now you are saying it goes on the oil filter...

See why I am getting confused...

[rubjonny]

he is saying the 2 pin pressure sensor goes in the head. the blue oil temperature sensor goes where the small white one with the green/black wire is on the oil filter, then you can fit both the white mfa and blue vdo oil temp sensors in the same hole

[X4MGS]

Right It's now becoming clear...

The VDO twin sensor fits here...


and I use the T piece with the White & Blue temp senors in one of these holes in the top of the Oil filter housing - Here;



And I run a wire from the Temp gauge to the Blue topped temp unit and another wire to the 2nd spade on the VDO sensor to the pressure gauge...

Yeah....

Thanks Guys....

Very Helpful...
