western Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 you could mod the existing sender into an adaptor with a 1/8npt thread on the inside for the vdo sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yes, that's exactly what I'd like to do Only trouble is, I don't yet know the thread size of the original sender. Once I know that, the adaptor is the easy bit All I have to do is find one then ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm pretty sure that the v8 and 300 temp senders are the same thread. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 If they are the same, that would indeed help a great deal, as the VDO sender would be a straight swap. I'd really like to know for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 The V8 water temp sender is 5/8 UNF In case anyone else wanted to know too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangebean Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Wondering how long something like this would work after being immersed in slurry. Seems to cover almost everything and would mean that I could throw away most of the tangled mess that is my current (NPI) dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 seems it's a 5/8 unf as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 seems it's a 5/8 unf as well. As well as the 200TDi, yes, seems so. I think they started to change the threads around for fun sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
