Default Oil Temp Sender Install
<center><img src="http://www.rpi.edu/~onksej/sensor.JPG"></center><p>I couldn't find anything when I searched but I'm sure someone has done this too. Basically I'm not a big fan of the oil plug version so I went this route. I think this is easier to do and is also less expensive. You will need an oil temp sender from a 1993 VW Corrado SLC V6. WorldImpex has them for under $10 shipped to you. If anyone has any questions or comments please don't hesitate to ask. I also noticed the sender had VDO stamped on it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rpi.edu/~onksej/Audi%20TT%20Oil%20Temperature%20Sender%20Install.p df">Details: Install Write-Up Here</a></li></ul>

Default Are temp senders universal or do they need to be matched to a brand of gauge. i.e. will this vdo
sender work with defi, autometer, etc...?

Absolutely. If you have access to other brand gauges you should test it.

Default Pay attention now...>>
Al those ports are M10 x 1.0, but most gauge senders are 1/8th NPT......The sizes are so close you could screw up. Best to check before you screw!
