[urq] Oil temperature sender location

[alexander stickler]

Ado,

My dealer in Aurora, Ontario had no problem getting me
the M18 oil temp sender that fits the early cars. As
you point out, the M22 doesn't fit unless you change
the whole oil pump. There are two senders shown on the
ETKA that I was looking at with the parts guy at Pfaff
Audi/VW.
My $0.02.
