Re: [T3] Oil Temperature

my Dad 
starting asking me if anyone has ever mentioned 
an oil temperature guage or anything like that. 
I know that water cooled cars have a water temp 
guage that will turn a light on if the engine 
is over heating. Is there such a thing for an 
air cooled?

The answer is yes. There are a variety of types and styles of these
temp gauges, even in c or f degrees. There is even an inexpensive
light adapter that will turn on your oil pressure light, 
just like the water cooled idiot light you mentioned.

 there are different sensor types.
for various engine locations. These are popular sellers in 
most VW catalogs and there exist about a dozen of these.
In addition to oil temp guages, there also exist head temp and
also exhaust temp gauge known as a pyrometer (not common).

I use a head temp sensor for one head but today I will purchase
another sensor so I can monitor both heads by toggling a switch.
Some people on the list use oil temp meters, they are most
common and easy to install.
