Hi Listers, well now that i have installed the
coolest-(literally)opperating thermo
switch/thermostat, as you know 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?(ive yet to find an adapter for the oil cooler
which is 10mm threads)

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