I have a VDO temp gauge I want to hook up but don't have a sender that is known to be compatable.
The gauge is part # 310 274/82/2 12V
The needle lifts slightly when wired to the stock sender in my 914 6
The right sender has to fit an early 2.0 6cyl.
TIA
Rory

Stock sender should work with gauge. It is 150C or 302 F

Am I that lucky ?
I'm waiting for a GT fuel gauge to run with my 911 combo temp/press
I'm planning a long trip so looked at what I might substitute for peace of mind.
I have small oil press/oil temp gauges in a VDO mount that will fit in place of the ash
tray. Hooked up the oil press gauge/ warning light no problem.
Hooked up the temp. gauge too using the 6 sender. The needle lifts slightly ign. on
but only have temporary connections and very cold weather here so can't verify
indication of higher temp untill I rig up better connections.
Then I can drive the car to achieve higher operating temp and verify
compatability. Will report back.
Thank you
Rory

Fantastic.
Mark you were right.
Completed the install and drove the car.
On a 40 degree day I saw 170 degree oil temp with the stock sender.
Glad to have it done with parts I had on hand.
Thanks for the help.
Don't know why the mount looks brownish.
