I have a 72 1.7 FI. I bought the VDO oil temp guage from PP, but am not real sure how to install. Any references would be much appreciated. Oh yeah, no previous oil temp guage, just idiot light.
Thanks in advance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

I believe that the bolts are the same length.
The torque spec on them is, I think, not listed in the manual. So you have to find a list of "for this size thread in this material, use this torque" and assume that is correct. I think the number for M6x1.0 was about 10 lb-ft. The Cap'n knows the right number; I used to say 16 lb-ft and he kept busting my chops for it. --DD |
