> Can someone tell me what the range is for the late model type III FI > Head temp sensor? Also, is it possible to hook a gauge up at this The sensor is basically a variable resistor-- changes resistance with changes in cyl head temp. The resistance generally decreases with increasing temperature. At 50F, resistance should be 3k to 4.5k ohm. At 68F, resistance is ~2k to 3.2k ohm. At 104F, resistance is ~1k to 1.4k ohm. You can measure resistance with the sensor installed on the engine. There should be an in-line spade-type connector for the single wire that runs to the sensor. Unplug this, put one lead of the VOM on the wire that goes to the sensor, and the other VOM lead to ground (the little ground bolt on the generator is a convenient spot). -Mark Fuhriman ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
