1.9TD in 1984 Westfalia.
I plan on installing oil temperature and oil pressure gauges. When
they installed the engine they used the oil pressure sender at the end
of the head and disconnected the sender located near the oil filter.
They said that the Vanagon wiring/gauge was not set-up to handle both
sensors. Why are there two oil pressure sensors?
- Would it be best to install the sender for an oil pressure gauge at
the head or at the oil filter area?
- Is there another 10x1 fitting near the oil filter that would accept
an oil temperature sender? I have been cautioned about putting an oil
temperature sender in place of an oil pressure sender as there is not
flow in this location so the temperature would not be accurate.
