I replaced my stock temp sensor with a VDO gauge:
Part #: 310-1052
Range: 100F - 250F (Metric Kit)
On Dial: WATER
All I did was plug it in, after changing the ground and power connectors to spades. Thanks to Dave S (javelinedave) I figured out I needed to replace the sender unit as well. With a VDO one.
Does anyone know which VDO sensor unit threads into the existing hole? I have one in there currently that has a spade connector on the wire - so I know I need the spade connector as I don't want to rerun all new wiring.
The old one worked fine, I just wanted more accurate - with numbers - readings.
Here is the site I would use to buy it....
