Audi Oil pressure, temp and Battery Voltage Questions

Post

Back to the top
Apologies if this has already been asked.

I want to connect my 3 Audi Gauges.  I have MFA and I assume that I need a dual pin VDO Oil Pressure and dual pin oil temp senders.
Can someone post a link to the correct senders that I need?

Oil Pressure gauge is the 5 bar one.  Do I need the equivalent sender?
Many thanks!

Yes for the oil pressure sender, and you can stack the pins on the oil temp gauge which should be on the oil filter flange black single pin.

The oil pressure switch is the dual can on the left hand side of the head.  You can double stack your wires there as well.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Hi Brian - when you say stack - you mean just add another connection to the existing pins?  I had always thought you could not add extra wires to an existing connection as it gives an inaccurate reading on the gauge.  Is that not true?  Suppose I will need to try it.

The electric gauges aren't that accurate IMHO.  Stacking a wire or adding an additional one isn't that much of a drain, Just be sure that all your bonding wires (grounds) are clean and shiny and better yet connected properly.
