Subject:Questions VDO gauge/late model oil senders
From:Gary McEachern
Date:Sun, 17 Oct 1999 09:39:50 EDT

I've purchased a dual VDO sender for my '84GL and plan to use it along with
the new late model instrument cluster(with tach) that I just purchased.

A few questions:

Would it make sense to add the second pressure pressure sender to the 1.9
engine so I can use the more elaborate pressure sensing/buzzer feature on
the new instrument cluster? (I'd like to have the benefit of the more
elaborate dual sender oil pressure warning system if its not to difficult.)

Can the second oil pressure sender (0.9 bar) be mounted where it's located
on the later 2.1 engine? (I haven't looked yet but I suspect there is no
provision to mount it here on the 1.9L engine.)

Would it make sense to "Tee" the 0.9 pressure sender in with the dual VDO
sender at the standard location between the pushrod tubes? I need to extend
or "remote" the connection to the head anyway because of the size of the
dual sender and the space limitations between the pushrod tubes.
