Subject:Arguments against using VDO oil gauges only?
From:Matt Sutton
Date:Sun, 20 Jul 2003 15:58:15 -0400

Hi folks,
    Does anyone have an argument against disconnecting the "dynamic oil
pressure sensor" with all its lights and buzzers, and using a single sender
VDO gauge instead? I have not trusted the original system on my 88 GL since
I got it, now with a new speedo, tons of spliced wires in the engine bay,
and at least one bad pressure sender.  I think I'd rather just interpret
actual numbers, than to be unsure whether I've got bad wires, bad senders,
or bad oil pressure.
    If I end up pursuing this course, does anyone know where to get a single
VDO gauge sender- doesn't seem like the list vendors are carrying them.
thanks for any input
