Comments: To: Kevin Obrien <kevindobrien@YAHOO.COM>

Welcome Kevin,


Change / replace the temp gauge senders & thermostat instead, the coolant
temperature is a direct precise indication of the head / water jacket temp.
I find that the Vanagon gauge is very precise when working properly.


I would suggest that you add an oil temp & pressure gauge instead of a
heads VDO.


The oil temp and pressure VDO / monitoring is a very good addition to
detect any upcoming engine problems. (Including the infamous 2.1 long term
rod problem)
See the following link on that subject:

I am still trying to figure out which one to buy (oil VDO) for the vanagon.
Here is a good link (new VW parts supplier in Canada):

If any of you guys have more info on the subject!!!!!!! (parts #, parts
supplier)
