I just bought a VDO Pyrometer for a customers 1.9TD installation.  VDO
stressed to me that the cable can not be lengthened and if you need a longer
cable than what comes with the kit I must order one that length.

So, I ordered the gauge and a 14' cable that goes between the sensor on the
exhaust manifold and the gauge.

The cable that came with the gauge and the additional 14' long cable is two
conductor, looks like aluminium 16 ga wire for each conductor.  There is
nothing [to me] that appears to be 'special' about this cable other than the
freaking price that I paid for it.  There is no shielding and the plastic
covering that covers the two wires seems to be a little extra tough.

Can someone enlighten me about what I am missing here!

Also, on a semi-related note, how hot is too hot for a Turbo Diesel motor?

Thanks in advance!
