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) |

the gauge typically goes in the console... the sender mounts in a "taco plate" (small round hole with 2 bolts holding the plate on near the front, driver's side) on the bottom of the sump... if that plate is flat, then you will need a taco plate and sensor...
I could be wrong on this, and someone plese chime in if I am wrong, but the oil idiot light is only for pressure... there isn't a temp light, that I've seen... but then again, it's been a damn long time since my car was driven! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
