I have this guage, it's never moved. Want to get it fixed/wired up. Question what temp does it measure? Oil or engine? If oil I'll get a dipstick sender and wire it up. If engine or other where do I wire it to? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
The alternative to the dip stick sensor is this :- https://www.vwheritage.com/v323064-...der-relief-screw-mounted-1200-1600cc-vw-spare Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk
Certainly looks like an oil temp gauge a 150°C one too.. most of them are the repurposed 170°C ones from newer VWs and Audis.. sender most likely in the oil drain plug or inspection cover plate on the bottom of the engine Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Daft question..... I wire this up with a temp sender (Sump plug one now) so....... When is it healthy temp, when is it bad temp?
Below 80 is bad, above 120 is bad, anywhere in between is fine but where you live, you’ll be lucky to get the oil hot enough in the winter so don’t be surprised if the gauge hardly moves. Old but still valid.
Some say 100 to 115°C... ours is always higher but that might change when I put the right sender in... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Yes in the engine bay....slowly I'm tracing back wires unconnected to see where they go...so far some just end under the bus. Plenty of wires as the bus used to have an air conditioning unit and a tow bar.
Ooh fancy... air conditioning! Ours has manually operated air conditioning levers mounted on the doors... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
