What gets me with Paypal is they take 5% of the Total... Inc postage....

So £100.00 item with £10.00 postage, ebay take £10.00 (plus listing fees) paypal take 5% of £110.00 - when really you have only been paid £90.00 (assuming its cost £9.50 (+0.50p paypal fee's) to post)....

Then buyers complain about the postage fee's when you have to add "at least 10%" to cover the fees let alone the cost of wrapping materials and time to do it....

I have had to look at stuff I list for my work and then add 25% to the price just to break even... and ebay is seen as cheap - Mental!!

Sorry to butt in, ive had my VDO guages in the car for a while and just running the battery one  :embarassed:

Pay day today so ive just ordered the t-piece, will call VW and get the temp sensor.. just looking at ebay and dont want to have to wait to bid on one of the pressure sendors, which one should i get as there seem to be so many variations of Bar and cost!?
I have a MK2 golf g60.

AFAIK any VDO unit should do it... 0-5 Bar is the reading BUT I think you can use the 0-10 Bar one.....

Right heres an update

I got them all wired today,How easy was that with the pre wired loom(x4mgs).I only have one problem,All seem to work fine yet when i put 12v/earth to the pressure gauge it goes to six bar and it makes no difference if i plug the sender in.I have it all corrected ok but i havent ran it for long
