I have a VDO temp gauge I want to hook up but don't have a sender that is known to be compatable.
The gauge is part # 310 274/82/2 12V The needle lifts slightly when wired to the stock sender in my 914 6 The right sender has to fit an early 2.0 6cyl. TIA Rory Attached image(s)

Stock sender should work with gauge. It is 150C or 302 F

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Feb 15 2020, 05:56 PM)  Stock sender should work with gauge. It is 150C or 302 F Mark Am I that lucky ? I'm waiting for a GT fuel gauge to run with my 911 combo temp/press I'm planning a long trip so looked at what I might substitute for peace of mind. I have small oil press/oil temp gauges in a VDO mount that will fit in place of the ash tray. Hooked up the oil press gauge/ warning light no problem. Hooked up the temp. gauge too using the 6 sender. The needle lifts slightly ign. on but only have temporary connections and very cold weather here so can't verify indication of higher temp untill I rig up better connections. Then I can drive the car to achieve higher operating temp and verify compatability. Will report back. Thank you Rory |

On a 40 degree day I saw 170 degree oil temp with the stock sender. Glad to have it done with parts I had on hand. Thanks for the help. Don't know why the mount looks brownish. Attached image(s)
