Subject:Re: 2.1 waterboxer oil temp gauge?

Are there any recommendations on how to plumb a 1.9
cooling system through the 2.1 oil cooler?  While i
don't have an oil temp sender, i'm pretty sure my oil
is getting warm (personally, i'm going to add another
coolant temp sender to the high oil pressure sender
and toggle between senders at the dash.  My 1.9 system
van doesn't need that sensor anyway).  I also already
have the cooler in place, and it is just waiting for
some coolant to flow through it...

Thanks,
-Damon
