Subject:Tiico--After market water temp gauge/oil temp gauge question.......
From:Phil S.
Date:Thu, 29 Aug 2002 19:32:00 -0700

i recently installed the
coolest-(literally)opperating thermo
switch/thermostat into my Tiico I4. I might have
created another problem: running oil temperatures.
Someone
said it is important to get the engine oil up to
around 104C

Since my water temp guage has been screwy ever since
my tiico install, i plan on installing an aftermarket
setup.(needle 3/4 to all the way "hot")when my engine
is now averaging 185-195F)

Is there any way to tap a sensor into the coolant
reservior without drilling another hole into the tank?

And on the Tiico head facing toward the front of van,
IS THIS where the oil temp/pressure idiot light goes
to? Perhaps this area can be tapped with yet antother
sensor?

Thanks for reading this misspelled nonsense.
I bet I could avoid all this if I just bought an old
junk Toshiba Laptop and a VAG software/cable
permanently
installed in the dash whilst i drive around.
