[Vwdiesel] Oil Pressure

[Dave Cook]

Aren't these things on your Cabriolet's engine already?

All of my cabriolet's had oil pressure gauges; I just swapped the sender onto the diesel head.

Also, at least some of them had the sandwich oil cooler installed, so you could just swap that and the hoses onto the diesel engine too.
