[urq] Oil temperature sender location

[Brandon Rogers]

IMO best place is the factory place - use the factory sender that screws up
into the pump on the front of the block.  You can get a used one off a CGT
and snag its gauge - you know they work together.  Beware there are
different temp ranges so make sure you get proper corresponding
senders/gauges.  ISTR early Audis had a 150C range while later cars have
170C.
