Okay with average street driving around town with a little hwy driving...How long should it take for the oil to reach normal operating temp? I drive for 20 mins and it doesn't seem to come off 120F?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I figure 220F is normal. Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Kerry |

195F - 205F would be optimal, 220 is a bit high already, 240 is HOT.
what gauge and sender are you running? i tried my 911 gauge with the stock TV sender and got similar results. never got over 150F. guess it's time for a new sending unit ... Andy |

I bought a new VDO gage and sender (to match) so I was told. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I had a similar problem in my 74 2.0. Are you using the upgraded (slightly smaller, numbered) VDO gauge in the center console?
When I installed mine, I was getting some power to the gauge/sender, but the gauge just didn't work. I bought a second new gauge/sender set - same problem. But the OLD guage worked! I played with this FOREVER until I started looking at the connector on the new gauge. The wire positions aren't the same on the new gauge. The connector will fit, but wires are in the wrong place. I pulled the old connector apart, put the wires right on the temp gauge - voila! Hope this helps, Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Hummmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
(+) is a fused constant 12v (-) ground (S) Is the wire to the sender I think when I change the oil next I will pull the sender and see if I can run some tests on it. Cheers and thanks guys |
