Title: VDO Gauge Install T Piece
Post by: bj7115 on 11 March 2009, 08:59

I am about to install a set of VDO gauges to my 16v but need to buy a T piece so that my MFA and new VDO temp gauge can work. Can anyone give me the correct description too allow me to buy one from Demon Tweeks.

I never underdstood why you;d want to have the MFA reading oil temp if you have the VDO gauges. I changed my MFA to read the water temp as I think that's more important and the needle is a bit finnicky, so I changed the senders from the oil to the waterway and used the blue audi sensor for the oil temp. Bob's your uncle!

Or 1/8th NTP ;)

Demon tweaks look pricey, try this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/oil-gauge-T-piece-short-motorsport_W0QQitemZ230330120103QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item230330120103&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318) or this (https://www.europaspares.com/INSTRUMENTS/SENDER_ADAPTORS__ETC/OIL_PRESSURE_GAUGE_FITTING_TEE_PIECES_1980.html)
