There is only 1 oil pressure sensor, on top of the oil cooler mount, and
one temp sensor on the driver's side cylinder head. There is not factory
installed protection from overheating except for the melting of pistons
and valves. There is also an air temp sensor in the AFM. If the
thermostat system is in place, the bellows being expanded when cold is a
sure sign the engine has overheated.

Subject: Oil gauge sender mounting questions for Air-Cooled engines

Hello Listees:
For an early '80s AC vanagon, where on the engine would oil
pressure (mechanical type, not electric) and temperature senders be
installed?  Looking at the Bentley, I see the low oil pressure
sender on top of the engine, but I assume there are other places to
access the oiling system, besides that and the drain plug.  Thanks
in advance!

Cary
