can someone tell me the manufacturer and part no. of the oil temp guages that have dipstick sender or the sump plug one. or even better, has anyone tapped the case for a decent sender, without splitting it and just flushed the shards out?? thanks

They are made by VDO as are all good VW gauges & senders. You could possibly find some info on them in the adds in US & UK VW magazines... I haven't noticed any for sale for some time... send an email to Mick Motors or Classic Vee Dubs or Vintage Vee Dubs etc....they must have the information..

terrific job - tapped the case below the dip stick area - below the tinware
works well

use grease on the tap and do the tapping with the engine running so you have oil pressure. Dodgy but it works.

micks didnt have them and classic wants me to give him the part no.- havent tried vintage though, just thought someone with one could give me the no. a mate had given me the tip of grease on the tap but didnt say anything about running the motor, makes sense but hmmmmmmm i dunno if id be game.
