Contain information about how to install Gauge on 2001 VW golf TDI, For other engines, wiring should be similar, but the installation of senders into the engine will be different. The intention of this page is to share information about my install and to help others who are considering an install. I tried to photograph everything important. First, take off the engine cover. On the TDI, there are two nuts towards the front and one in the back. Pry off the nut covers with a small screwdriver, and use a 10mm socket to remove the nuts. Unhook the vacuum hose from the clip on the rear edge of the cover. Take the dipstick out, remove the cover, and replace the dipstick. Your view should be similar to the one in the photo above. The arrow is pointing to the oil filter housing. This is where I installed oil temperature and pressure senders. The above photo shows the access holes on the passenger side of the base of the oil filter housing. The brown unit with the black single-wire connector is the stock oil pressure switch. After adding pressure and temperature senders, the stock pressure switch must still be operative. I used a VW OEM temperature sender (VW part # 049-919-563-A), which works with VDO 300*F gauges. The above photo shows the senders installed. Note that I did not take the advice of putting paper towels underneath when I took out the plug! I had a plastic bag to catch any leaking oil, but that didn’t work too well. The above image shows the senders with wires attached. The wires are 15-20 feet long and are basically just hanging out of the engine compartment. I also used dielectric grease on the connectors before attaching them. This will help keep moisture and dirt out. You can see from this photo why it’s necessary to put the stock switch on top of the T instead of sticking straight out, as the stock wire will not reach if it’s installed in the other position. The wire loom is routed between the battery and the airbox, along the hood release cable, then over and along the rear edge of the engine compartment. It’s zip- tied along the way to keep it in place. This is a good photo to show how much yellow pollen is in the air in Atlanta in the springtime!
