A good while when the van was 2.1 DJ .. I fitted a VDO volt meter .. Oil pressure and water temp gauge ..
Since having a TDI fitted my temp gage when the ignition is switched on does a full sweep of the range and when started goes back to to zero... I thought it was because there was now no sender so I fitted an oil temp sender into the oil filter housing .... What should this connect to ????

Do you mean an oil temp gauge as in the Audi 80 set of three aux gauges? If so I have a circuit diagram somewhere I could dig out.

On reflection sounds like it's connected to a normally closed oil pressure switch - ie connected in parallel with the oil pressure warning light.

Thanks for your input .... It was a water temp gauge but I thought I'd use it as an oil temp now .... In my minds eye I thought that the reason it did a scale sweep to max was due the the fact that there was no sender .... But obviously not now ... Hmmmm
