Subject:.5 Bar ? VDO oil pres Sender okay?
From:Davidson
Date:Thu, 21 Oct 1999 21:11:08 -0700

Okay electrical techs...
I got set up with a VDO DUAL CONTACT Oil Pressure Sender and VDO oil
pressure gauge. On of the contacts on the dual sender is to be connected to
the new VDO gauge... the other contact is supposed to be connected to the
existing wire that goes to the existing stock idiot light.... But I have
read some stuff on the list about .3 bar and I am wondering if the .5 bar is
(a) the correct sender and (b) will the .5 bar dual sender make the idiot
light (and buzzer) come on at the same pressure point(s) as the existing
sender? Or does using the .5 bar dual sender change the calibration?
All answers welcome,
Thanks
Bill
