The thing that I am not sure about is how to handle the senders and wiring (for press. and temp.). The senders I assume would be those for a golf engine but what about the wiring? If I use the senders and normal wiring intended for a Golf and simply splice-in additional wire length, do I upset the accuracy of the gauges due to the add'l wire length? > Any ideas? > > Gary

I have gauges on my wife's Jetta. It doen't have an oil-cooler, so all I had to do was remove a screw and intall the senders for temp and pressure with a simple adapter. No big deal to that. And a volt meter is even easier. This addition shouldn't interfere since they require wiring of their own, piggy-backing doesn't work.
