I am trying to install oil pressure and oil temp gauges on my 1984 1.9L
Vanagon engine. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can
help me out with:
1. I cannot find any location to install the screw in temp
sensor that I bought. Has anyone installed an oil temp sensor?
If so, where did you install the sensor.
2. The pressure sensor that I bought is quite large. It doesn't seem
like it will fit in the small space between the push rod tubes on the
left head. Is there an alternate location, or do I need to get
another sensor? Is the resistance of these sensors universal, so I
can use any sensor?
3. I would like to preserve the idiot light function in addition to my
new gauge. Can I just use a brass t-fitting and screw both sensors
into the t and screw the t into the crankcase?
I hope somebody can help solve the frustrating problems!
Thanks,
