VDO Gauge Install T Piece
« 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!
