VDO oil temp dipstick senders?

A bloke told me that there is a guy who makes VDO compatible oil temp dipstick senders on this forum. Anyone know if this is true?

I had or have? one. the whole dipstick is VDO.
I have no idea where it came from or how I got it. All I know it is a VDO dipstick for type 1.

I cannot comment on the justkampers one but I have one of the summer savers fitted from this link. Took all of 38seconds to fit.
Testing it manually and it sems to work. and when i get out after a long drive and look at how much it has moved it makes sence.
Cheap, easy, quick way to give some piece of mind.
Uses the idiot light on the dash cluster to warn you.

I was told by a VDO gauge distributor guy that VDO no longer make the dipstick temp senders.

Hi
They can be a pain the arse. They are round so they push the oil back down the tube so you can get a false reading, care must be taken to accurately
mark the sender for high level mark and the wires get in the way and can get ratty.

Yes there is a fellow who sells a dipstick re4placement temo sender that ia normally connected to the oil llght.. it works great
first it flashes the light then it stays on....
when the oil is TOO Hot... I still use a dipstick tp check the oil etc I've never thought to connect to a VDO oil gauge???
I have another large bright light on My Dash so I can see it go on. Excellent.

Re pushing the oil out for measuring levels. Just keep the og dipstick hamdy for checking levels.
