about the wiring?  If I use the senders and normal wiring intended for a

I have gauges on my wife's Jetta. It doen't have an oil-cooler, so all I had
to do was remove a screw and intall the senders for temp and pressure with a
simple adapter. No big deal to that. And a volt meter is even easier. This
addition shouldn't interfere since they require wiring of their own,
piggy-backing doesn't work.
