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... |

Very rare that the sensor is bad. Wire from sender is bad 99% of the time. Run a new jumper wire from the sender to the plug under the battery tray. Your trouble should go away.

Your trouble should go away. Sounds like a plan, general consensus is, these things don't go... Got the day off. And I'm running a temp. Thank you for the input.... |
