So I want to start monitoring my oil temps but my car needs the plate ($$$$$), gauge and sender however, I was quoted at $200 for the kit.
Any way around this? Could I just monitor head temp? I think my engine is running too hot but I have no way to tell. Cheapo suggestions appreciated thanks- |

by the time one purchases the factory plate the factory o ring the two copper crush washers the sending unit the finished wire from the sending to the main harness, the new vdo gauge and the two gauge holder, things just get expensive. One could buy the dip stick sender and a motor meter gauge make the gauge holder and the wire, and accomplish the same thing at a much lower price!!!!!!
