Hello guys,
My 75' 1.8 needs a new oil temperature sender...so I try AA, they only list a different size, (shorter rod) & it's a 300 degrees unit, mine clearly says 200 degrees. It's a VDO So I look @ Pelican and all the other sites, including eBay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) and all are 300's which seem to be for the 6.... So, any ideas where I might find one? Or why all the ones I do find are 300's, do they not make them? I believe my gauge is set for 200. It's the VDO, non-numerical style with the red zone... Thanks... |

I've never seen one go bad. Try a different used one. Also make sure there's an electrical path for the sensor to ground. If you refinished the mounting plate, you may have eliminated the ground path.

Mmm, thanks, what happens is, I run car for 60 seconds, it creeps up, and then pegs to full hot position and motor is most certainly not that hot... And, I've cleaned plate and surrounding area...so, maybe my ground will be better now? thanks, I'll reinstall and see what happens...appreciate your input. |

Does the needle creep up smoothly part way then instantaneously jump to full scale? Or does it creep smoothly all the way up to full hot position? |
