[Vwdiesel] Water for oil temp?

[Ron Schroeder]

Hi Andrew,

It works quite well.  I have been doing that on an air-cooled engine in my
military truck for years.  I especially like the JC Whitney mini triple
gauge set since the water temperature gauge doesn't say "Water", it just has
a thermometer symbol.  It's quite inexpensive and have proven to be reliable
and reasonably accurate.
