I have the Audi VDO oil temp gauge, I bought one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/AUDI-80-100-Oil-Temperature-Switch-temp-Sender-sensor-1-Pin-049919563b/1717949497" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Yeah, the 049919563b is the only alternative M10 sensor I've came across. Ho...

So, an old post, but just to conclude for anybody out there that might have the same problem. I stuck to the first suggestions, and in the end these are the parts: - vdo oil temp gauge - vw oil temperature sender part no. 1H0919563 (warning: this is not an exact mach for the vdo gauge, it will sligh...

After further research and checking out how the oil circuit works, I think the simpliest option is actually the first suggested, a T-piece. It might not have a fast responce when the temperature changes, but I think I can live with that. However, here we go with another issue. The T-pieces I found a...

The easiest way to fit the temperature sensor would be to go to your local hydraulic specialist, ask them to make you a new turbo oil feed hose with a fitting in it to take the sensor, ask them to make it in the ptfe pipe with the stainless over braid so that the hose is earthed. Sent from my SM-G9...

Going back to the idea of a T piece and locating your temp sender on it, vs doing difficult things to your drain plug. My question would be... Are you looking for an accurate absolute reading of the oil temp, or are you looking to know when the oil temp is going up and down? If you are looking for ...

Just an update, if anybody else has a similar problem. I found out there are two kind of oil filter fitting the JX engine: W940/25 e W 1130/1. On my engine I have the former. The latter is shorter (and has a little larger diameter); so with this filter a sandwich plate can be fitted and still have r...

According to ekta there is an M10x1 sealing plug on top of the oil filter housing Thanks for the info. I am not sure I have this sealing (I found several differences in my JX compared to late models, the oil pressure buzzer for instance). I will check it out because if there is one, than I think it...

what about removing the existing drain plug and replace with a threaded reducing bush? Yeah, this is a actually good option. I think the sealing in my drain plug is done via the conical shape of its head, rather than the thread. However, probably not a big deal moving the sealing to the thread. As ...

Thanks to both of you for the helpful replies. I do not have an oil pressure switch at the oil filter. In fact, I only had an oil pressure switch in the engine head (no buzzer for oil pressure). Couples of years ago I substituted this switch with an oil pressure sender, this one: http://vw-t3-bus-sh...

Hello. I am about to fit a VDO oil temperature gauge to my Westfalia (reason is that I got some issues with boost pressure and I would like to monitor the oil temperature.. plus I like old style gauges :) ). My engine is an early (1984) 1.6 TD JX. Now, I got a little bit of a problem with the sender...

I know when I did work on that side (utility side if you like) I flared those holes slightly to ensure that any water that gets in there can run out easily. No idea if it works but did it anyway. The Caravelle windows can leak also. Mine was rotted at the floor and its never had a fridge in it eith...

Whats going on with those arches? Some bits missing? Those you see are mud flaps. These ones: http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=3057&category_id=&category_parent_id=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; From what I understood they are original Volkswagen (tho...

you will most likely be getting water ingress through the holes you see,also check the one above the rear arm mount has a grommet in it, if you were to dry it out inside the sill and inject with dynax or similar then you would help it a lot What do you mean with rear arm mount (sorry, no native eng...

Here is the picture with the approx location

Looks to be just the drain holes on the bottom of the sill? Water can just splash up in there as you're driving along and I'd imagine as the van gets tilted one way and another the water drips out. Inside the sill is one big open space right up past the jacking points. I wouldn't worry about the wa...
