VDO does make an oil temp sender that replaces the oil drain plug on the
Vanagon engine. I believe it's the same as the Type 1 sender. I've been
using this on my Vanagon for about 3 years now.

You will have to drill a hole in your oil sump plate to use the VDO sender.
They make a dipstick sender but it is not for a Vanagon.
