I have a 72 1.7 FI. I bought the VDO oil temp guage from PP, but am not real sure how to install. Any references would be much appreciated. Oh yeah, no previous oil temp guage, just idiot light.
Thanks in advance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

you'll need a sending unit and a taco-plate to mount it.
i'm not quite sure exactly when the factory added the wire for the oil-temp gauge to the main harness, but i'm fairly positive your '72 doesn't have it. i *think* they started in '73. meaning, you'll have to run a wire from the unit to the gauge.
