I believe the dual sender is trouble, since the dynamic oil pressure
whatever is going to be buzzing because it is not compatible. A have the
single VDO sender (not installed yet) and just got a VDO metric tee fitting.
It says on the carton: VDO 240 850D, T-adaptor M10x1 VW appl, V3092001391D,
and I paid $10.00 for it. This will mount directly to the hole for the
original sender, wich them you can mount to the T, and use the hose kit, or
a grease gun hose, the I bought for $3.00 and an adapter, NPT to metric, if
you wish. Let me know how it goes, my van has been in the shop for almost a
month ( auto tranny trouble, it eats the pump) and haven't been able to do
this installation myself.
