In the distant past I installed a VDO temperature in the sump inspection ("taco") plate of a 2.0 engine. Then I got a 914 plate and even had a spare. Now I'm redoing the whole process a decade later. Last time, the sender came with a full sized drawing of exactly where to drill the hole in the plate. This time, nada. It seems like this little bit of info should be on the web by now as a PDF, but it doesn't seem to be. Does anyone have a copy of that drawing, maybe? Would you be willing to scan it? Please don't start a discussion about how the sump plate location doesn't give accurate information, or a CHT reading is better, or you don't use any gauges. There's plenty of that in the archives, on the Samba, etc. What there isn't anywhere is a picture of where to drill the hole. Also, I forgot how I sealed this. Mark '82 Westy |
