Been searching the forums and cannot seem to locate which one of the VDO Cockpit fuel gauges work with our 914 sending units?

10-180 ohms
10-65 ohms
0-90 ohms

Putting a 911 combo oil temp/press gauge in the 914 hole and using a 2 1/16 fuel gauge in the dash.

Thanks and sorry in advance if my lack of search skills shows this has already been covered.

Son of a Monkey, went for a test drive today to check out cleaned up wiring, new fuel gauge.

Filled the tank to test 1/1 and it went to 0. WTF. Double checked the part number and I don't know if I ordered it or maybe sent the wrong gauge, but it's 301 030 for Beetles, backwards.

Update to this thread to help make it searchable.

Ensure your VDO part number is 301 220.


I was looking online for the VDO 301-220...it's no longer listed on the VDO website and most other sites list as NLA.

I built a combo gauge (Bosch Tach and 301-020 fuel gauge) into a modified tach. My fuel gauge currently reads about 5/8 full with only a couple gallons.

I still need to do some troubleshooting looking at my sender resistance...I'm hoping maybe I can get away with resetting the needle zero position...still TBD.

VDO lists another part number (white needle with an approx 270 degree sweep) with a 90-05 range. A2C3833110030

I'm wondering if this one might be more suitable for those with panel mounted gauges.
