I believe the dual terminal sender has the low pressure switch set at .5 bar. This will make your oil light flicker at idle (BTDT). It is best to get a single terminal pressure switch and use your existing sender for the oil light. I just bought one of the single terminal one from Egauges.com, but they are also available elsewhere. Egauges.com has some information on their site regarding compatibility. They are not all compatible. Pascal '84 Westy

The VDO dual-terminal sender, such as http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=360006 Does it only work properly with the corresponding VDO gauge? ie will some other FLAPS gauge work?? Tom |
