Nige P Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I am about to order VDO Coolant and Oil Temp gauges. I see thy come with 1/8 NPT senders, but there are alternatives. Would the 1/8 NPT fit my 200TDi, or do I need to order another size? Many thanks Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 In 2007 I did modify a Land Rover sender to take a VDO one. ... just check this link: http://www.landroveraddict.com/smf/index.php?topic=361188.0 Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige P Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Many thanks for that. I think I'll get a 1/8 NPT tap then. Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The alternative is an off-the-shelf adaptor like I used on my Td5 gauges install to mate the 300Tdi temperature sender with my 200Tdi engine. Got mine from here: https://www.europaspares.com/INSTRUMENTS/SENDER_ADAPTORS__ETC/1_8_NPT_FEMALE_ADAPTORS_TO_SUIT_MALE_IMPERIAL_BLOCK_THREADS_2020.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
