Yes I know they are not the best. I wish I could afford the Dakotadigital. I can get a used VDO CHT for $20.00 from a friend of mine. What i need to know is do i Have to use the VDO (brand) sender probe or can i use this one from Aircraft spruce
MICROFLIGHT CHT PROBES http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpa...icroprobes1.php for the extension wire to the gauge can I use regular wire of 16 gauge as per the VDO instructions http://www.egauges.com/pdf/vdo/0-515-012-130.pdf or do i use this extension from Aircraft spruce. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpa...ro1chtLEADS.php thanks JC |

Yes, you have to use the VDO sender/wire. it should be long enough

Thanks mark i was doing some research and i cam across http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=691206 and it says
"It gets better: Dakota Digital uses VDO senders so you can re-use your senders with their gauges. I haven't bought either or these two gauges to prove it but that's what they tell me. Some of their gauges have programmable temperature ranges for maximum sender compatibility." does anyone know if i can use the Dakotadigital Cylinder Head Temperature Sender http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm?pty...;mode=cart_list |
