so got a 150 PSI gauge (picture at Jegs showed 80 psi dial)

hard to read

Will 150 PSI dual sender work right with VDO 310012 80 PSI gauge?

Oh, and which calibrated VDO temp gauge would replace the uncalibrated consoule (SP) gauge?

150-300F

120-300F

????

No,
You need the right sender for the right gauge, you cannot mix and match them or brands.
Mark

same brand both VDO

You can't mix and match senders and gauges. Or brands. There, clearer now?

The Cap'n

Although it may read somthing, the callibration would be way off and you would not know the actual pressure.

If you used a 150 psig sender with an 80 pound gauge, your gauge readings would be just over half the true value of your pressure.

I'm not clear on what you have, exactly.

Your gauge is ______ psi.
Your sender is _____ psi.

I was just researching this for SirAndy. Both senders have a range of 0-180 ohm.

If you have a 5 bar sender and a 10 bar gauge, the gauge will read fine, but you'll have to mentally 1/2 the numbers you see on the gauge.
If you have a 10 bar sender and a 5 bar guage, again, the gauge will read fine, but you'll have to mentally double the numbers you see on the gauge.

If you have a dual contact (pressure and warning light) 10 bar sender that you don't want, PM SirAndy because he's going to be buying on and you might be able to work something out.

I have 150 psi dual sender and 150 psi gauge but never get past 60 psi.

all very very new like 300 miles

Now wish I had 80 PSI gauge so I had more sweep and could read lower oil pressures with accuracy

If that means new sender and new gauge so be it.

Just trying to understand what I need to do

From what your last post says your gauge is reading correctly. Your oil pressure should never exceed 60 psi. Yes, the lower scale will be easier to read but the accuracy should be the same with a matched sending unit.

I would sell what you've got in the classifieds, and get the right stuff. If it were me.
