Oil Pressure/ temp Gauge query

Post by Drew64 »

Can you actually fit a electric oil pressure and oil temperature gauge to a 2.1 wasserboxer motor?

I have bought a VDO set from a old Audi coupe and am struggling how to fit them as VDO don't do a sender for the pressure gauge or do they??

Can anyone assist??

Its because i'm sick to death of the oil pressure warning light/ buzzer going off and now want to keep an eye on the actual pressure and temp the engine is running at.

Oil Temperature........ why worry, as long as your water temperature gauge is working?
