Just like the subject heading... I'm looking to see if its feasible to install an oil level sender on my 1.6TD.
I've found that vw has oil level senders for their cars since '98 or so. I'm guessing there could be quite possibly a ton of work involved in retrofitting one on an old diesel block.
Does anyone have any experience changing, or even holding one in their hand? What do they look like? My guess is that it is just some type of 'float' system.
I know this isn't really a performance enhancing upgrade, but it would would give greater piece of mind while driving down the road, knowing the engine isn't starving for oil, after say a hard run etc. Rather than having to open the hood, and check oil level on a regular basis.
The one I checked online was for a passat, and is listed at around $100
Any info appreciated! Thanks guys!
