[Vwdiesel] Head Gasket

[The President]

The high temperature warning lamp could supply a signal to trip a small 
relay to trip a larger relay  to set a buzzer off.
You could use a spare oil pressure sender plumbed into the water to 
indirectly sense an increase in water temp by virtue of an increase in water 
temp. What's a rad cap set to? 1bar ish?
