Amazing what I do on my day off... We're up to 28 drain plugs guys. What's the stock market ticker for VDO ?

The gauge also needs switched power and a ground wire hooked up to it. These details are all covered in detail in the instructions that come with the gauge.
My 951 registers about 180-190 degrees oil temp on the highway when the oil cooler and engine is getting lots of airflow. In stop and go driving on a hot day, or when riding hard in the mountains, the gauge goes up to 220 degrees. For what its worth...

VDO oil temp gauge
I want a black face, electrical gauge with the oil drain plug sensor for an '88 S4 engine.
Let me know when they are available, and who I should pay.
