I've got a VDO gauge and kept the idiot light on my Air Cooled. They are
definitely worth the money.
I ran 140 K on my air cooled without any gauges before I rebuilt the
engine and after the rebuild I installed a full set of gauges, Oil P, Oil
Temp, Cylinder Head Temp, Volts Gauge and it is very interesting how the
driver can move the pointers by his driving habits. To me they offer
guidelines that can extend your engine life. I can readily see that
fighting head winds builds up cylinder heat temp and oil temp. I use the
oil pressure gauge to let me know when the pressure drops on cold
mornings that the oil is warm enough to push the engine a little
harder...... the oil temp takes thirty minutes to indicate this
temperature change.
So in most situations: more information is good to have. I'm running the
same Super Sun Tach that I bought in 1979 and I've used it on five
vehicles, great $69.00 investment.
