Oil pressure gauge, help please!

just bought my 1st gti  . the 3 gauges in the centre were there but no wiring, ive made the loom and the lights are fine as is the voltmeter but the thing is the oil temp gauge is a 150 deg c gauge do i still need to change the sender? and which 1 is it? some posts say it is on the back of the head and some say the right hand side???

its a 83 if that helps

the sender goes on the right hand side of the head as you look at it, if the gauge is a 150 then its from an Audi quattro, the sender is about ?50 8O  there was one on flea bay a couple of days ago brand new boxed :wink:

that sender on ebay just finished…went for a tenner wanted 2 know if i needed it before i bought 1. does the oil temp gauge wire go 2 the existing sender on the oil filter? the 1 furthest from the engine??

The Golf has 2 oil senders low pressure [ on the head ] and high on the back of the oil filter .  

Temp for MFA [as you rightly say] is the spade terminal on top of the oil filter [on it's side] but i am not sure if this will run a different guage . Worth a try .

Most VDO guages  for oil are pressure only not temp and that requires a special sender unit .

Audi 80 Sport in my local scrappy has this sender .

thanks for your help, so i'm prob's going to need another sender to get the oil temp gauge up and running as well.
