Hi all
Just picked up a set of VDO gauges, and seperatly a set of senders
What do i need to connect to the top of the temp sender? i've not seen a connection like this before
a pic of something similar - http://shop1.actinicexpress.co.uk/shops ... arge-1.JPG
anyone know what i need, or better yet where i can get it?
Cheers
Marcus

Standard female blade connector.
Have a look at your current water and oil temperature senders - the wires connecting to them will show what you need.

Its not the same as the water temp sender (presuming i've got the right one, right hand side of the cylinder head?) as that has a standard spade connector
the pressure sender also has the same normal spade connectors
The one on the oil temp sender is more like a half sized drawing pin / mushroom shaped thingy

A spade connector will still be fine, slide it over the pin and it'll work
