Review: Works perfect in my old VW! - I recently installed this on a 1600 DP motor in a '71 VW Bus. I used an adapter from CB Performance to install this pressure sender and a VDO oil temp sender in the threaded hole where the stock idiot light sender fits. Both senders are hooked up to VDO gauges. So far this pressure sender is working perfect. Took the bus on a camping trip and the oil pressure readings were steady and right where they should be for an air cooled VW motor. I read that you should not use teflon tape to seal the threads as this sender needs to be grounded through the fitting so I used teflon paste instead. Sender works fine and there are no leaks. This sender was well worth the price to help me keep an eye on the motor and I wouldn't really want to use anything other than VDO on my VW.
Review: Great product and a good price. - VDO makes great gages and senders. They work and last forever. Only issue is that they still have to use the regular (non-LED) white bulbs so you're stuck fiddling with a little plastic green or red sleeve over the white bulb when you do your install. Other than that--awesome.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the resistance range in ohms for 0 to 80psi.**
A: Sorry, it measures 10 ohms unattached and I was unable to change the resistance by blowing into the unit. I plan to install this item along with the matching VDO pressure gauge this weekend.

**Q: Have a vw1600,  just bought dual sender and this gauge. have factory gauge - 1 wire going to sender.  from gauge, what 2 wires go each poles?**
A: on my installation one wire goes to oil pressure gage and the other wire goes to my dash low oil pressure light on my dash which I believe ends up going to a ground wire. If you go to Summit racing web page and look for VDO 350104 oil pressure gage, there is an instruction manual (PDF) that shows how to wire this oil pressure switch for your application. Hope that this helps.

**Q: i have a new south oil pressure gauge on a 02 vw pass. with this sender work for my new south oil p gauge?**
A: I try to match the sender to the gage, same brand and ohms.. go to VW and get the right sender, you are not going to have an accurate reading or could burn out the gage. It may be expensive but it is the only route to go unless you are sure who VW uses for the gage.
I have a fire truck and the gages are standard in that industry. VW may use a German type of gage and you need that sender for it.

**Q: is vdo sender #360009 compatible with gauge vdo #350104?**
A: I have bought VDO electronic gauges
That look just like that and they are compatible. I am sure you know that using the 2 pole gauge allows you to use the stock oil pressure light as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great
*by E***T on September 15, 2017*

I like this a lot. The thumb screw connectors are good and when it's installed it's a solid mount. I had to get an adapter for my block but knew that going in. Easy 2 connector hookup and now my boy's 83 Volvo 242 has a pressure gauge and working "idiot" light.
